- n general terms, what are the spectator ions in a precipitation reaction? Why are the spectator ions not included in writing the net ionic equation for a precipitation reaction? Does this mean that the spectator ions do not have to be present in the solution?arrow_forwardThe Behavior of Substances in Water Part 1: a Ammonia, NH3, is a weak electrolyte. It forms ions in solution by reacting with water molecules to form the ammonium ion and hydroxide ion. Write the balanced chemical reaction for this process, including state symbols. b From everyday experience you are probably aware that table sugar (sucrose), C12H22O11, is soluble in water. When sucrose dissolves in water, it doesnt form ions through any reaction with water. It just dissolves without forming ions, so it is a nonelectrolyte. Write the chemical equation for the dissolving of sucrose in water. c Both NH3 and C12H22O11 are soluble molecular compounds, yet they behave differently in aqueous solution. Briefly explain why one is a weak electrolyte and the other is a nonelectrolyte. d Hydrochloric acid, HCl, is a molecular compound that is a strong electrolyte. Write the chemical reaction of HCl with water. e Compare the ammonia reaction with that of hydrochloric acid. Why are both of these substances considered electrolytes? f Explain why HCl is a strong electrolyte and ammonia is a weak electrolyte. g Classify each of the following substances as either ionic or molecular. KCl NH3 CO2 MgBr2 HCl Ca(OH)2 PbS HC2H3O2 h For those compounds above that you classified as ionic, use the solubility rules to determine which are soluble. i The majority of ionic substances are solids at room temperature. Describe what you would observe if you placed a soluble ionic compound and an insoluble ionic compound in separate beakers of water. j Write the chemical equation(s), including state symbols, for what happens when each soluble ionic compound that you identified above is placed in water. Are these substances reacting with water when they are added to water? k How would you classify the soluble ionic compounds: strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, or nonelectrolyte? Explain your answer. l Sodium chloride, NaCl, is a strong electrolyte, as is hydroiodic acid, HI. Write the chemical equations for what happens when these substances are added to water. m Are NaCl and HI strong electrolytes because they have similar behavior in aqueous solution? If not, describe, using words and equations, the different chemical process that takes place in each case. Part 2: You have two hypothetical molecular compounds, AX and AY. AX is a strong electrolyte and AY is a weak electrolyte. The compounds undergo the following chemical reactions when added to water. AX(aq)+H2O(l)AH2O+(aq)+X(aq)AY(aq)+H2O(l)AH2O+(aq)+Y(aq) a Explain how the relative amounts of AX(aq) and AY(aq) would compare if you had a beaker of water with AX and a beaker of water with AY. b How would the relative amounts of X(aq) and Y(aq) in the two beakers compare? Be sure to explain your answer.arrow_forwardSeparate samples of a solution of an unknown soluble ionic compound are treated with KCl, Na2SO4, and NaOH. A precipitate forms only when Na2SO4 is added. Which cations could be present in the unknown soluble ionic compound?arrow_forward
- Nickel(II) sulfate solution reacts with sodium hydroxide solution to produce a precipitate of nickel(II) hydroxide and a solution of sodium sulfate. Write the molecular equation for this reaction. Then write the corresponding net ionic equation.arrow_forwardA student is asked to identify the metal nitrate present in an aqueous solution. The cation in the solution can be either Na+, Ba2+, Ag+, or Ni2+. Results of solubility experiments are as follows: unknown + chloride ions—no precipitate unknown + carbonate ions—precipitate unknown + sulfate ions—precipitate What is the cation in the solution?arrow_forwardMany plants are poisonous because their stems and leaves contain oxalic acid H2C2O4, or sodium oxalate, Na2C2O4. When ingested, these substances cause swelling of the respiratory tract and suffocation. A standard analysis for determining the amount of oxalate ion, C2O42 in a sample is to precipitate this species as calcium oxalate, which is insoluble in water. Write die net ionic equation for the reaction between sodium oxalate and calcium chloride. CaCl2, in aqueous solution.arrow_forward

(c) magnesium metal and a solution of hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen. Magnesium metal reacting with HCl.arrow_forwardYou pour 150.0 mL of a 0.250 M lead(ll) nitrate solution into an empty 500-mL flask. What is the concentration of nitrate ions in the solution? What volume of 0.100 M sodium phosphate must be added to precipitate the lead(ll) ions from the solution?arrow_forwardConsider the following generic equation: H+(aq)+ B(aq)HB(aq)For which of the following pairs would this be the correct prototype equation for the acid-base reaction in solution? If it is not correct, write the proper equation for the acid-base reaction between the pair. (a) nitric acid and calcium hydroxide (b) hydrochloric acid and CH3NH2 (c) hydrobromic acid and aqueous ammonia (d) perchloric acid and barium hydroxide (e) sodium hydroxide and nitrous acidarrow_forward
