question
Ca(OH)2
answer
Strong Base Calcium hydroxide
Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) (but not very soluble)
question
Ba(OH)2
answer
Strong Base (Barium hydroxide)
Ba2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) (but not very soluble)
question
Sr(OH)2
answer
Strong Base Strontium_hydroxide
Sr2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) (but not very soluble)
question
NaCl
answer
Salt Sodium Chloride
HCl + NaOH > H2O + NaCl
question
NaHSO4
answer
Salt Sodium Bisulfate
NaOH + H2SO4 > NaHSO4 + H2O OR!!
NaCl + H2SO4 > NaHSO4 + HCl
question
K2Cr2O7
answer
Salt Potassium Dichromate
K2Cr2O7 > 2 K+ + Cr2O72- OR!!
Cr2O72- + H2O ? 2 CrO42- + 2 H+
question
CaCl2
answer
Salt Calcium Chloride
(Solvay process)
2 NaCl + CaCO3 > Na2CO3 + CaCl2
question
HCOOH
answer
Weak Acid Formic Acid
HCOOH + H20 <--> H30+ + COOH-
question
CH3COOH
answer
Weak Acid Acetic Acid
CH3COOH + H2O --> CH3C00- + H3O+
question
CCl3COOH
answer
Weak Acid Trichloroacetic Acid
CCl3COOH +H20 -> CCl3COO– + H+ (aq)
question
HF
answer
Weak Acid Hydrofluoric Acid
HF + H2O ---------> H3O+ + F-
question
HCN
answer
Weak Acid Hydrocyanic Acid
HCN + H20 -> H30+ + CN-
question
H2S
answer
Weak Acid Hydrogen sulfide
H2S + H2O --> H3O+ + HS-
question
H2O
answer
Weak Acid/Base Water
H2O -> H+ + OH-.
question
NH4+
answer
Weak Acid: Conjugate acids
of weak bases
question
NH3
answer
Weak Base Ammonia

NH3 + HOH <==> NH4+ + OH-
A few interactions between ammonia and water will result in this case, were ammonia acts as a Bronsted-Lowry base and water acts as an acid.

NH3 + H2O <==> NH2- + H3O+
But a fraction of the interactions between ammonia and water will produce this reaction since both ammonia and water are amphoteric.

But in fact, the majority of NH3 molecules in aqueous solution stay NH3 molecules and don't react at all.
