[Fusilli_Jerry89]

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

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.

H2SO4 + LiOH -> H20 + Li2SO4

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