For the reaction of H2SO4 + HBr what products would i get? thx =)?



Answer:
The Br- ion is a strong enough reducing agent to reduce H2SO4 to SO2. In turn the Br- ions are oxidised to Br2.

So the products are SO2, H2O and Br2.

This is a standard reaction in the UK chemistry syllabus for 17-year-olds (except it's with NaBr - no difference).
Br2 and H2O
These are considered strong acids. So, in water, both give up hydrogen ion.

H2SO4 -> H+ + HSO4-
HBr -> H+ + Br-

Although acids and bases are relative, both are at the high end of acidity. So, there is really no reaction in this case.
