H2SO4 is dibasic acid (two replacable H+ ions) . In aqueous solution it dissociates in two steps as follows:
H2SO4 + H2O H3O+ + HSO4 | (Ka1 = very large) |
HSO4 + H2O H3O+ + SO42 | (Ka2 = 1.2 x 10–2) |
The formula for dissociation constants are:

The neutral H2SO4 molecule has more tendency to lose a proton (H+) than the Lowry-Bronsted base (which can donate electron i.e. accept a proton
