Predict whether aqueous solutions of the following compounds are acidic, basic, or neutral.

(a) Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂	(b) NaNO₃	(c) Na₂SO₄
(d) NaCl	(e) Fe(ClO₄)₃	(f) AlBr₃

Solutions

Expert Solution

(a) Ba(C2H3O2)2

Ba(C2H3O2)2 + 2H2O -------> Ba(OH)2 + 2CH3COOH

basic medium because products are strong base Ba(OH)2 and weak acid CH3COOH and strong base dominates.

(b) NaNO3

NaNO3 + H2O ----> NaOH + HNO3

neutral medium because products are strong base NaOH and strong acid HNO3 and they cancell each other effect.

Na2SO4 + 2H2O -------> 2NaOH + H2SO4

neutral medium as products are strong base NaOH and strong acid H2SO4 and they cancell each other effect.

(d) NaCl

NaCl + H2O ------> NaOH + HCl

neutral medium as products are strong base NaOH and strong acid HCl and they cancell each other effect.

(f) AlBr3

AlBr3 + 3H2O ------> Al(OH)3 + 3HBr

acidic medium, becuse formation Al(OH)3 which is amphoteric and strong acid HBr.

(e) Fe(ClO4)3

Fe(ClO4)3 + 3H2O -------> Fe(OH)3 + 3HClO4

Solution is acidic medium because of formation of weak base fe(OH)3 and strong acid HClO4.
