Chemistry Acid/base solubility question

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the preparation of salts from acids and bases, specifically AgNO3, RbClO4, and Na3PO4. The balanced molecular equations and net ionic equations were provided for AgOH and RbOH, with emphasis on the solubility of the reactants. The correct net ionic equations were confirmed, highlighting the importance of charge accuracy and solubility rules in determining the final equations. Key corrections included the clarification that AgOH is insoluble while RbOH is soluble.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of balanced molecular equations
  • Knowledge of net ionic equations
  • Familiarity with solubility rules
  • Basic concepts of acid-base reactions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the solubility rules for common ionic compounds
  • Learn how to balance complex molecular equations
  • Explore the concept of dissociation in aqueous solutions
  • Review examples of acid-base reactions in organic chemistry
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone involved in acid-base chemistry or preparing for examinations in general chemistry.

Homework Statement




Each of the following salts can be prepared from an acid and a base. Write the balanced molecular equation and the net ionic equation for the preperation of each. indicate states of the reactants and producys . Review solubility rules if neccesary to determine the solubility of reactants.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



a) AgNO3
b)RbClO4
C) Na3PO4

a/ AgOH(s) + HNO3(aq) --> AgNO3(aq) + H2O(aq) (the molecular equation
Net ionic: AgOH + H+ + NO3- ------> Ag+ + NO3- + H2O
Final net ionic after cancellation: AgOH- + H+ ---> Ag+ + H2O

Am I write on this first one? i don't really think I am, I am not confident in it

b/ RbClO4

my attempt: RbOH(s) + HClO4- ----. RbClO4 (aq) + H2O

My attempt at net ionic: RbOH(s) + H+ + ClO4- ---> Rb+ + H2O
Final net ionic after cancellation: RbOH + H+ ---> Rb+ + H2O

Is this right? Please help!

Close, but you need to pay attention to charges - no such thing as AgOH- (although you wrote it correctly in other places). Also, it won't hurt to mark the fact AgOH is insoluble.

Final net ionic after cancellation: RbOH + H+ ---> Rb+ + H2O

RbOH is well soluble (as opposed to AgOH) and 100% dissociated.
