1. What is the concentration of hydroxide ions [OH- ] in pure water?
2. For each type of acid and base below first define acid and evaluate Fe+3 as an acid by each definition. a: Arrhenius b: Bronsted Lowry c: Lewis
3. For each salt below identify if it will form a slightly acidic or basic solution, support your answers with a chemical equation as evidence. a. Na(SO3)2 b. NH4Br.
1)The concentration of OH- in pure is 1*10-7 and the detailed explanation is provided in the paper.
2)Ferric ion is electron-deficient and lewis bases can donate its electrons to vacant 3d and 4s orbitals, the detailed explanation is given in the paper.
3) The overall solution of sodium sulfite Na2SO3 is basic in nature ( formula of sodium sulfite in question was wrong which is corrected and solved)
The overall solution of ammonium bromide NH4Br is acidic in nature.
