Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given reaction should be balanced and the reactant and product should be named.
Concept introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a
Bronsted acid: An acid donates (loses)
Bronsted Base: A base accepts (gains)
(b)
Interpretation:
The given reaction should be balanced and the reactant and product should be named.
Concept introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, therefore, the number of atoms present in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms present in the products.
Bronsted acid: An acid donates (loses)
Bronsted Base: A base accepts (gains)

Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- The formula for tartaric acid is preferably written as H2C4H4O6 rather than as C4H6O6. Explain why.arrow_forwardFollow the directions of Question 21 for the following bases: (a) toluidine, C7H9N (b) strontium hydroxide (c) indol, C8H6NH (d) aqueous ammoniaarrow_forward1. Sometimes a reaction can fall in more than one category. Into what category (or categories) does the reaction of Ba(OH)2(aq) + H+PO4(aq) fit? acid-base and oxidation-reduction oxidation-reduction acid-base and precipitation precipitationarrow_forward
- Complete and balance the reaction. Al(OH)3(s)+?HCl(aq)=? Write the net ionic equation Water is one of the products formed. Write the name (not the chemical formula) for the other product.arrow_forwardAssuming the base completely dissociates in water, what is the pH of a 5.70 g/L solution of Ba(OH) 2 (aq) ?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), and a weak acid such as acetic acid, HC2H3O2(aq)?arrow_forward
- If weak acids ionize only a few percent in aqueous solution, why is it possible to fully neutralize a weak acid by reacting it with the stoichiometric equivalent of sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH(aq)?arrow_forwardPhosphoric acid, H3PO4 (aq), is found in soda. Write the balanced chemical equation for the neutralization of phosphoric acid with NaOH.arrow_forwardComplete and balance the following neutralization reaction, name the products, and write the net ionic equation.
