Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation is to be written that shows the reaction of given metal oxides with
Concept Introduction:
Acids are the substances which give hydrogen
The reaction between metal oxide (base) and acid is known as neutralization reaction.
The reaction in between metal oxide and an acid yields water along with the formation of dissolved salt.
For balancing a chemical equation change the coefficient, not subscript as changing subscript change the type of molecule.
The steps to balance chemical equation are:
If there is an element that is present in just one compound on both sides of the equation, it has to be balanced first.
If there are more than one such element is there, balance metals before non-metals.
If the element is present in a free state on both the sides of the equation, balance it last. These elements are balanced by adjusting the coefficients.
If coefficients are present in a fraction, convert it into whole numbers by multiplying with the appropriate number.

- What are the major species in solution after NaHSO4 is dissolved in water? What happens to the pH of the solution as more NaHSO4 is added? Why? Would the results vary if baking soda (NaHCO3) were used instead?arrow_forwardHypophosphorous acid, H3PO2, and phosphoric acid, H3PO4, have approximately the same acid strengths. From this information, and noting the possibility that one or more hydrogen atoms may be directly bonded to the phosphorus atom, draw the structural formula of hypophosphorous acid. How many grams of sodium hydroxide would be required to completely neutralize 1.00 g of this acid?arrow_forwardA solution contains 0.675 g of ethylamine, C2H5NH2, per 100.0 mL of solution. Electrical conductivity measurements at 20C show that 0.98% of the ethylamine has reacted with water. Write the equation for this reaction. Calculate the pH of the solution.arrow_forward
