SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the net ionic equations for reactions involving sulfur trioxide, carbon dioxide, strontium chloride, sodium sulfate, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide. The first equation, SO3(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO4(aq), is incorrect as it should involve carbon dioxide instead of water. The second equation, Sr²⁺(aq) + SO4²⁻ → SrSO4(s), is confirmed correct, while the third equation, HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaCl(aq), is also deemed acceptable but requires further verification. The net ionic reaction for the first equation is noted to be non-existent due to the absence of soluble reactants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of net ionic equations
  • Knowledge of phase symbols in chemical reactions
  • Familiarity with solubility rules in chemistry
  • Basic principles of acid-base reactions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the correct net ionic equation for the reaction between sulfur trioxide and carbon dioxide
  • Study the solubility of strontium sulfate in aqueous solutions
  • Explore the concept of net ionic equations in acid-base reactions
  • Review phase symbols and their significance in chemical equations
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone involved in chemical reaction analysis or studying ionic equations will benefit from this discussion.

I need to include net ionic eq, phase symbols, etc.
1. Sulfur trioxide is heated with carbon dioxide.
2. A solution of strontium chloride is mixed with a solution of sodium sulfate.
3. Hydrochloric acid is added to sodium hydroxide

My work:
1. SO3(g)+H2O(l)---->H2SO4(aq)
2. Sr^{2+}(aq)+SO4^{2-}------> SrSO4(s)
3. HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)------->H2O(l)+NaCl(aq)
H^{+}(aq)+OH^{-}(aq)----->H2O(l)

Are these right? Any corrections?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
carbon dioxide?
 
the first one is def. wrong. where did u get H20 as a reactant? the original problem states "Sulfur trioxide is heated with carbon dioxide." Re-work the first one, and for a hint, there will be no net ionic reaction for this one b/c nothing is in solution.

the second one is right. the overall is SrCl2 + Na2SO4 ---> SrSO4 + 2 NaCl, and the net ionic reation you have looks good.

the third on looks ok, but I am not too sure. that chemistry is now buried under a semester of organic chem, so forgive me if I am rusty
