Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a chemistry homework problem involving the dissociation equations of various acids and bases, molecular and net ionic equations, and concentration calculations. The scope includes theoretical understanding and practical application of chemical equations and concentrations.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests help with writing dissociation equations for carbonic acid, sodium carbonate, and sodium hydrogen carbonate, expressing confusion about the task.
  • Another participant suggests that the requester should attempt the problems before seeking help.
  • A participant provides attempted dissociation equations but acknowledges difficulty with the third part involving sodium hydrogen carbonate.
  • There is a correction regarding the terminology used, clarifying that "sodium hydrogen" should be "sodium hydrogen carbonate." This leads to further attempts to write the equations.
  • Participants discuss the molecular and net ionic equations for the reaction between phosphoric acid and barium hydroxide, with one participant questioning the accuracy of their proposed equations.
  • A later reply provides an example of net ionic and molecular equations for a different acid-base reaction, suggesting a format for writing these equations.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the correct equations or methods, and there is ongoing uncertainty regarding the homework problems, particularly in the dissociation equations and concentration calculations.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express confusion about the correct forms of the equations and the terminology used. There are also unresolved aspects regarding the calculations for concentration and the specific details of the dissociation equations.

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: [itex]Na_2CO_3 \longrightarrow ... + ...[/itex]
 
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:

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

and the molecular reaction would be:

[tex]H_2SO_4 + Ba(OH)_2 ------> 2H_2O + BaSO_4[/tex]
