SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on predicting products of acid-base reactions and includes balanced molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for various reactions. The reactions discussed include HNO3 with Al(OH)3, Fe(OH)3 with HNO3, HC2H3O2 with KOH, strontium hydroxide with hydroiodic acid, and Ca(OH)2 with HCl. The participants emphasize the importance of including all anions in complete ionic equations for neutrality, as seen in the examples provided.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of acid-base chemistry

Homework Statement


Write the balanced molecular equation, complete ionic, and net ionic equation for each of the following:

I'm pretty sure I'm doing these correctly, but I just wanted to make sure:

a) -- molecular equation
b) -- complete ionic equation
c) -- net ionic equation

1) HNO3 + Al(OH)3 --> ??

a) 3HNO3 (aq) + Al(OH)3 (s) --> 3H2O (l) + Al(NO3)3 (aq)

b) H+ + NO3- + Al(OH)3 (s) --> 2H2O (l) + Al3+ + NO3-

c) 3H+ + Al(OH)3 (s) --> 3H2O (l) + Al3+

2) Fe(OH)3 (s) + HNO3 --> ??

a) Fe(OH)3 (s) + 3HNO3 (aq) --> Fe(NO3)3 (aq) + 3H2O (l)

b) Fe(OH)3 (s) + 3H+ + NO3- --> Fe3+ + NO3- + 3H2O (l)

c) Fe(OH)3 (s) + 3H+ --> Fe3+ + 3H2O (l)

3) HC2H3O2 + KOH --> ??

a) HC2H3O2 (aq) + KOH (aq) --> H2O (l) + KC2H3O2 (aq)

b) H+ + C2H3O2- + K+ + OH- --> H2O (l) + C2H3O2- + K+

c) H+ + OH- --> H2O (l)

4) strontium hydroxide and hydroiodic acid --> ??

a) Sr(OH)2 (s) + 2HI (aq) --> SrI2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)

b) Sr(OH)2 (s) + 2H+ + I- --> Sr2+ + I- + 2H2O (l)

c) Sr(OH)2 (s) + 2H+ --> Sr2+ + I- + 2H2O (l)

5) Ca(OH)2 + HCl --> ??

a) Ca(OH)2 (s) + 2HCl (aq) --> CaCl2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)

b) Ca(OH)2 (s) + 2H+ + Cl- --> Ca+ + Cl- + 2H2O (l)

c) Ca(OH)2 (s) + 2H+ --> Ca+ + 2H2O (l)

No such thing as Ca+

All your complete ionic equations list only one anion. That's not necesarilly wrong, but it will be better IMHO to list them all, so that side of the equation is neutral.
