(OH- is a base)
(H+ is an acid)
Therefore by adding water to HSO3, the OH- ion is produced therefore it is an Arrhenius base.

What is the acid and base of H2SO3?
Interesting and very difficult to put into x amount of letters.
What is the expression that represents the equilibrium constant expression for H2SO3?
H2SO3 will ionize to H+ + HSO3-. The Keq = [H+][HSO3-]/[H2SO3]HSO3- will ionize to H+ + SO3^2-. The Keq = [H+][SO^2-]/[HSO3-] ... very small value
What is the formula for the conjugate acid of CO3 2?
HSO3-
What is the chemical formula for sulfur dioxide with water vapor?
This is not one formula, but a complete set of the chemical reaction equations:SO2 + H2O [H2SO3] HSO3− + H+ (Sulfurous acid)Ka = 1.54×10−2; pKa = 1.81.
What is the compound formed when sulfur dioxide reacts with moisture in clouds?
There are two consecutive equilibrium reactions:Hydration SO2,g + H2O H2SO3,aqProtolysis H2SO3,aq + H2O HSO3-aq + H3O+aq
What is the conjugate base and conjugate acid for HSO4-?
The conjugate base and conjugate acid for HS04 is: Conjugate acid is H2SO4 Conjugate base is SO42
which of the following is the conjugate base of HSO3?
SO32
What is the formula for iron 2 bisulfite?
Fe(II)(HSO3)2 Iron(II) bisulphite . NB sulphurous acid is H2SO3 . Its anion is Sulphite (SO3^2-) The ''bi' means the sulphurous acid has only 'lost' ONE(1) hydrogen Hence the sulphite becomes the 'bisulphite' (HSO3^-) Since the iron is in oxidation state '2' , its cation is Fe^2+. Hence it needs two 'bisulphite' anions to balance the charges. NNB Do not confuse the 'bi' to mean 'two'. In this case it refers to the loss of hydrogen from the acid, in a similar way to sodium bi-carbonate (NaHCO3). Hope that helps!!!!
What is the chemical equation for sulfuric acid and water?
H2so4 + h2o <==> hso3^-1 + h3o+
Formula of marshall'acid?
The chemical formula of the Marshall's acid is H2S2O8 HSO3-O-O-SO3H.
Where does sulfur dioxide get its extra oxygen from for acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide reacts with water to form sulfurous acid (SO2 + H2O --> HSO3)
What happens when H2SO4 dissolves in water?
Assuming you mean soluble in water - in theory, yes, it would be referred to as sulfurous acid - HOWEVER, there is no evidence that it actually exists in solution. The closest you would come to find is HSO3- and H3O+ from the H2SO3 dissociating into SO2 and 2 H2O as soon as it got into the water. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfurous_acid and the references contained in that article
