1) Consider the following questions about acids and bases.
a) Note for each compound if it is
i) An acid or a base
ii) Weak or Strong
HF:
HCl:
NaCl:
Ca(OH)₂:
b) Predict the product of the following reaction. Make sure the reaction is balanced.
______H₂SO₄(aq)+______NaOH(aq)→
c) Write a net ionic equation for b).
d) Identify the acid and the base in the following reaction (remember the Bronsted Lowry definition).
CH₃COOH+NH₃→CH₃COO⁻+NH₄⁺
1)
a )
HF -----------------> weak acid
HCl --------------> strong acid
NaCl --------------> strong salt
Ca(OH)2 ---------------> strong base
b)
H2SO4 (aq) + 2 NaOH (aq) ------------------> Na2SO4 (aq ) + 2H2O (l)
c)
net ionic eqaution:
2H+ (aq) + 2OH- (aq) ------------------> 2 H2O (l)
d)
CH₃COOH + NH₃------------------> CH₃COO⁻ + NH₄⁺
(acid ) (base) conjugate base conjugate acid
CH3COOH -----------------> acid
NH3 -----------------------> base
