Question

27. Write balanced equations that describe the following reactions.

a. the dissociation of perchloric acid in water
b. the dissociation of propanoic acid (CH3CH2CO2H) in
water
c. the dissociation of ammonium ion in water

Answer 1

#a

• HClO_4(aq)+H2O(l)—»H3O+(aq)+ClO_4

#b

• CH3CH2COOH + H2O ==> CH3COO^- +H3O

#c

This is reversible reaction

• H2O + NH_3 ⇄ OH^- + NH4^+
