Why is the answer D?
By similar argument, we can say that 1 mole of H2SO4 is capable of producing 2 moles of H+ ions.
(mole is not exactly a shortened form of the word molecule, but the ratio idea still holds)
1 H2SO4 ==> 2 H+ ions
1 mol H2SO4 ==> 2 mol H+ ions
By this ratio,
0.025 mol H2SO4 ==> 0.05 mol H+ ions
So, 0.05 mole of H+ ions is contained in 25.0 cm3 of sulfuric acid.
This means that 0.05 / (25/1000) = 2.00 moles of H+ ions ae contained in every 1000 cm3 of solution.
So, the concentration of the hydrogen ions is 2.00 mol/dm3.
(In contrast, the concentration of the acid itself is only 1.00 mol/dm3)
