Homework Statement


Write the balanced molecular equation, complete ionic, and net ionic equation for each of the following:

I'm pretty sure I'm doing these correctly, but I just wanted to make sure:

a) -- molecular equation
b) -- complete ionic equation
c) -- net ionic equation

1) HNO3 + Al(OH)3 --> ??

a) 3HNO3 (aq) + Al(OH)3 (s) --> 3H2O (l) + Al(NO3)3 (aq)

b) H+ + NO3- + Al(OH)3 (s) --> 2H2O (l) + Al3+ + NO3-

c) 3H+ + Al(OH)3 (s) --> 3H2O (l) + Al3+

2) Fe(OH)3 (s) + HNO3 --> ??

a) Fe(OH)3 (s) + 3HNO3 (aq) --> Fe(NO3)3 (aq) + 3H2O (l)

b) Fe(OH)3 (s) + 3H+ + NO3- --> Fe3+ + NO3- + 3H2O (l)

c) Fe(OH)3 (s) + 3H+ --> Fe3+ + 3H2O (l)

3) HC2H3O2 + KOH --> ??

a) HC2H3O2 (aq) + KOH (aq) --> H2O (l) + KC2H3O2 (aq)

b) H+ + C2H3O2- + K+ + OH- --> H2O (l) + C2H3O2- + K+

c) H+ + OH- --> H2O (l)

4) strontium hydroxide and hydroiodic acid --> ??

a) Sr(OH)2 (s) + 2HI (aq) --> SrI2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)

b) Sr(OH)2 (s) + 2H+ + I- --> Sr2+ + I- + 2H2O (l)

c) Sr(OH)2 (s) + 2H+ --> Sr2+ + I- + 2H2O (l)

5) Ca(OH)2 + HCl --> ??

a) Ca(OH)2 (s) + 2HCl (aq) --> CaCl2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)

b) Ca(OH)2 (s) + 2H+ + Cl- --> Ca+ + Cl- + 2H2O (l)

c) Ca(OH)2 (s) + 2H+ --> Ca+ + 2H2O (l)

No such thing as Ca+

All your complete ionic equations list only one anion. That's not necesarilly wrong, but it will be better IMHO to list them all, so that side of the equation is neutral.
 

Related to Predicting products of acid-base reactions

1. What is the purpose of predicting products of acid-base reactions?

Predicting the products of acid-base reactions allows scientists to understand the chemical reactions that occur between acids and bases, and the resulting products. This information is important in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and environmental science.

2. How do you predict the products of an acid-base reaction?

The products of an acid-base reaction can be predicted by identifying the reactants and determining the exchange of ions between the acid and base. The general equation for an acid-base reaction is acid + base → salt + water.

3. What factors influence the products of an acid-base reaction?

The strength of the acid and base, as well as the concentration and temperature of the solution, can influence the products of an acid-base reaction. Additionally, the presence of catalysts or inhibitors can also impact the reaction.

4. Can the products of an acid-base reaction be controlled?

In most cases, the products of an acid-base reaction cannot be controlled as they are determined by the properties of the reactants. However, the reaction conditions, such as concentration and temperature, can be manipulated to favor certain products.

5. What are some real-world applications of predicting products of acid-base reactions?

Predicting products of acid-base reactions has many practical applications. It is used in the production of fertilizers, the synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs, and in wastewater treatment to neutralize harmful acids and bases. It is also important in understanding the body's natural acid-base balance and in diagnosing and treating acid-base disorders.
