SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving chemistry homework related to dissociation equations, molecular and net ionic equations, and concentration calculations. Key equations provided include the dissociation of carbonic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate, as well as the molecular and net ionic equations for the reaction between phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2). Additionally, the discussion addresses the calculation of the percentage concentration of a phosphoric acid solution after dilution and the molar concentration of a 40% H3PO4 solution with a density of 1.3 g/cm³.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of acid-base chemistry and dissociation reactions
  • Familiarity with writing molecular and net ionic equations
  • Knowledge of concentration calculations, including percentage concentration
  • Basic skills in using density to calculate molarity
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to calculate molarity from density and percentage concentration
  • Study the principles of acid-base reactions and their ionic representations
  • Explore the dissociation of common acids and bases in aqueous solutions
  • Practice writing and balancing chemical equations, including net ionic equations
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone seeking to improve their understanding of chemical reactions, dissociation processes, and concentration calculations in aqueous solutions.

Can anyone please help me to do my homework, i just don't get it?

1.Write the equations of dissociation of Carbonic acid, sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogen

2.Write molecular and net ionic equation of H3PO4+Ba(OH)2

3.800ml of water been added to 200ml 40% phosphoric acid solution (d=1,3g/cm3). What is the percentage conc. of the prepared solution?

4.What is molar conc. of 40% H3PO4 solution? (d=1,3g/cm3)


And i would be really thankful if you would show me how exactly to get the answer :smile:

Sorry, can't help until you give it your best effort.
 
1.Write the equations of dissociation of Carbonic acid, sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogen

CO2+H2O⇌2H+co3
2Na+O+CO2⇌2na+co3
Na+OH+2H+CO3⇌Na+HCO3+H2O

2.Write molecular and net ionic equation of H3PO4+Ba(OH)2
2H3PO4+3Ba(OH)2->Ba3(PO4)2+6H2O
6H+2PO4+3BaOH->Ba3(PO4)2+6H2O

Thats how much i managed to do.. I'll couldn't do 3 and 4 parts, i just don't get it... :/

For the first part write the charges of ionic species.

Are you missing something at the end there? There's no such thing as "sodium hydrogen".

On the left side of each dissociation equation, you need to have the formula of the compound that's dissociating.

Example: Na_2CO_3 \longrightarrow ... + ...
 
im sry.. Sodium hydrogen carbonate.. after your example i managed to do two first equations, but i don't know how to make the 3rd one.. there is 3 elements, NaHCO3.. :/
 
2.Write molecular and net ionic equation of H3PO4+Ba(OH)2

is this correct:
2H3PO4+3Ba(OH)2->Ba3(PO4)2+6H2O
2H3PO4+3Ba(2+)+2OH(-)->Ba3(PO4)2+6H2O ?
 
Well, if I were writing the net ionic equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid and barium hydroxide, I would write:

2H^+ + SO_4^{-2} + Ba^{+2} + 2(OH^-) \rightarrow{} 2H_2O + BaSO_4 (s)

and the molecular reaction would be:

H_2SO_4 + Ba(OH)_2 ------> 2H_2O + BaSO_4
