SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the reactions of strong and weak acids, bases, and their salts in aqueous solutions. The user presents ten chemical reactions, seeking verification and assistance with the products formed. Reactions involving sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium nitrate (KNO3), and ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) are analyzed, with specific attention to the dissociation of compounds like methylammonium chloride (CH3NH3Cl) and the formation of hydroxides and acids. The user concludes that reactions 1-5 appear correct, while expressing uncertainty about reactions 6-10.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of acid-base chemistry, specifically strong and weak acids and bases.
  • Familiarity with chemical reaction equations and equilibrium concepts.
  • Knowledge of dissociation and ion formation in aqueous solutions.
  • Basic skills in balancing chemical equations.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the dissociation of weak acids and bases in water, focusing on acetic acid (CH3COOH) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH).
  • Learn about the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases to deepen understanding of proton transfer reactions.
  • Research the solubility rules for salts and their implications in aqueous reactions.
  • Explore the concept of hydrolysis and its effects on salt solutions, particularly for ammonium salts.
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding acid-base reactions and their applications in chemical equilibria.

Hello,

You someone check my reactions, and help with the ones I could not figure out?
Thank you.

1) NaCl + H2O <=> NaOH + HCl

2) KNO3 + H2O <=> KOH + HNO3

3) NAHCOO + H2O <=> NaOH + HCOOH

4) NaCH3COO + H2O <=> NaOH + CH3COOH

5) NH4NO3 + H2O <=> NH4OH + HNO3

6) CH3NH3Cl + H2O <=> I don't know how to break up CH3NH3Cl. Would it be between CH3 and NH3Cl?

7) K2CO3 + H2O <=> K2O + H2CO3

8) Na2SO4 + H2O <=> Na2O + H2SO4

9) Na3PO4 + H2O <=> Na3O + H2PO4

10) N2H6SO4 + H2O <=> ?? N2H6 and SO4? Giving N2H6O and H2SO4? It doesn't sound right...

No one has any idea?
 
wow the reactions are pretty tough.1-5 looks alrite to me and i think for reaction 6 rite...the product form is CH3NH4+ and CL-.

btw my chem is not so fantastic so believe at your own risk...haha~
