Homework Statement


1) Show how each of the following acids ionize in aqueous solution. HI

2)Write the reaction between H2SO4 and LiOH

3)Write ionization equation of X-, a weak base

4) Write an equation showing the oxide ion acting as a strong base

Homework Equations


N/A


The Attempt at a Solution


1) for this it duznt state water is involved, so do you just do HI -> H+ + I- and both of them are aqueous?

2)H2S04 + LiOH -> H20 + LiHSO4 (all are aqueous except water)

3) No idea. I put X- + H2O -> OH- + HX but it duznt say it's reacting with anything?

4) O2- + H2PO4- -> OH- + HPO4-2 (all aqueous)

Aqueous solution means it's in water.
 
  • #3
H2SO4 + LiOH -> H20 + Li2SO4

That should be right..just have to balance now.

1. What is the difference between an element and a compound?

An element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.

2. What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change?

A physical change only affects the physical properties of a substance, such as color or shape, while a chemical change results in a new substance being formed with different chemical properties.

3. How do you balance a chemical equation?

To balance a chemical equation, you must ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of that element on the product side. This is done by adding coefficients in front of each molecule as needed.

4. What is the difference between an acid and a base?

An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution, while a base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions or donates hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution. Acids have a pH less than 7, while bases have a pH greater than 7.

5. What is an exothermic reaction?

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat. This can often be observed by a rise in temperature in the surrounding environment. Examples of exothermic reactions include combustion and neutralization reactions.
