AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the formation of salts through neutralization reactions, with users providing equations for various salts. Corrections were made to the initial equations, emphasizing that neutralization involves an acid reacting with a base, not an oxide. The correct equations for lithium carbonate, copper (II) chlorate, aluminum sulfate, and ammonium iodide were shared, with some users expressing uncertainty about their accuracy. The importance of recognizing ammonia's different forms in reactions was also highlighted. Overall, the thread serves as a collaborative effort to clarify and verify chemical equations related to neutralization.

Write equations for the neutralization reactions that result in the formation of the following salts:

lithium carbonate
H2CO3 + LiO2 --> LiCO3 + H2O

copper (II) chlorate
2HClO3 + CuO --> Cu(ClO3)2 + H2O

aluminium sulphate
2Al(OH3) + 3H2SO4 + 10H2O --> Al2(SO4)3 * 16H2O

ammonium iodide
20HN3O + 13H2O + 30I2 --> 60NH4I + 20H2O

This is all pretty new to me so could someone take a quick look at this and tell me know if I am doing it correctly? If I understand the process, water is a bi-product of the neutralization process. I also tried to find known acids or bases to base the left side equation off.

Your cupric chlorate reaction seems good.
Your lithium carbonate reaction looks like an error.
Try better, \[<br /> H_2 CO_3 \; + \;Li_2 O\; \Rightarrow \;Li_2 CO_3 \; + \;H_2 O<br /> \]
 
Neutralization reaction is a reaction between acid and BASE, not between acid and oxide as you wrote in the first two cases. Ammonium iodide is made when NH3(aq) (or NH4OH, or NH3.H2O, you may see different notations) reacts with HI (hydroiodic acid).

i'm taking the same course, i got
lithium carbonate
2 LiOH + H2CO3 = 2 H2O + Li2CO3
copper (II) Chlorate
2 HCl)3+ Cu(OH)2 = 2 H2O + Cu(ClO3)2
aluminum sluphate
3 H2SO4 + 2 Al(OH)3 = 6 H2O + Al2(SO4)3
ammonium iodide
HI + NH4OH = H2O + NH4I

I'm not compleatly sure if these are right but if someone can verify this it would be helpful
 
Looks OK. As I have already signalled earlier - ammonia can be tricky, as it is not necesarilly in the form of NH4OH.

Or rather it is not in this form for sure, but your prof may want this form.
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
