Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The classification of the compound as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An electrolyte is an ionic compound which conducts electricity by dissociating into negatively and positively charged ions in a solution. They are held in fixed positions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The major species in solution is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
An electrolyte is an ionic compound which conducts electricity by dissociating into negatively and positively charged ions in a solution. They are held in fixed positions. Electrolysis is a process in which electric current is generated due to the movement of ions in solution. A strong electrolyte is a substance which is a good conductor of electricity in the solution, weak electrolyte is a poor conductor of electricity, and nonelectrolyte does not conduct electricity.
(c)
Interpretation:
The minor species in the solution is to be identified.

- Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as die active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting die stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a burp). Write die balanced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forwardOn Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?arrow_forwardConsider molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations. (a) What is the difference between these types of equations? (b) In what circumstance would the complete and net ionic equations for a reaction be identical?arrow_forward
- If aqueous solutions of potassium sulfide and iron(III) chloride are mixed, a precipitate is formed. Write the complete and net ionic equations for this reaction, and name the precipitate.arrow_forward4-81 (Chemical Connections 4C) Balance the lithium iodine battery redox reaction described in this sec tion and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents present.arrow_forwardssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released.
