Solutions

Expert Solution

1. CH3COOH (aq) + H2O (l) <---------------------> CH3COO- (aq) + H3O+ (aq)

Since, CH3COOH is a weak acid, therefore its pH would be less than 7 i.e. 4.6

---------------------------------------------------------------------

2. AlCl3 (aq) + 3 H2O (l) <---------------------> Al(OH)3 (aq) + 3 HCl(aq)

Ionic equation is :  Al3+ (aq) + 3 Cl- (aq) + 3 H2O (l) <------------> Al(OH)3 (aq) + 3 H+ (aq) + 3 Cl-(aq)

Net Ionic equation is :  Al3+ (aq) + 3 H2O (l) <------------> Al(OH)3 (aq) + 3 H+ (aq)

Since, AlCl3 is a salt of weak base i.e. Al(OH)3 and strong base i.e. HCl, therefore its pH would be less than 7 i.e. 2.2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. NH4Cl (aq) + H2O (l) <---------------------> NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) + HCl(aq)

Ionic equation is : NH4+(aq) + Cl- (aq) + H2O (l) <-----------------> NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) + H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)

Net Ionic equation is :  NH4+(aq) <-----------------> NH3 (aq) + H+ (aq)

Since, NH4Cl is a salt of weak base i.e. NH3 and strong base i.e. HCl, therefore its pH would be less than 7 i.e. 4.3

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) <---------------------> NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq)

Net Ionic equation is : NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) <---------------------> NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq)

Since, NH3 is a base and gives OH- with water, so its pH will be greater than 7.
