Given reactants, how do you find overall equation, complete ionic and net ionic equations (Fundamentals J.5)?

J.5. How do you approach this? Complete the overall equation, and write the complete ionic equation and the net ionic equation for each of the following acid–base reactions. If the substance is a weak acid or base, leave it in its molecular form in the equations. a)HF + NaOH ---> b) (CH3)3N + HNO3 -...

How would you know which reactants/products create certain compounds (ex J.7)?

Fundamentals problem J.7. How do you approach this? Select an acid and a base for a neutralization reaction that results in the formation of (a) potassium bromide; (b) zinc nitrite; (c) calcium cyanide, Ca(CN)2; (d) potassium phosphate. Write the balanced equation for each reaction. Anything we're s...

Why is NH3 a base while NH4 an acid? H2S03? [ENDORSED]

Why are NH4 and H2SO3 a acids? I thought only lone protons were acidic. How can we tell from formulas like these whether compound is an acid or base?

Hydronium and Hydroxide Ions

Since Ka+ Kb= Kw, does this mean that whenever there are hydronium ions present this means hydroxide ions are too (and vice versa)? Or can a reaction only result in one or the other?

Question 11.64

How do you solve this?
Calculate the concentration of CO(g) in mol.m-3 at 423 K and 0.8 atm using R = 8.206 × 10-5 m3.atm.K-1.mol-1 and assuming only CO(g) is present.

How do you solve this? The reaction 2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2 SO3 (g) occurs in a 1.00 L flask at 312 K and at equilibrium the concentrations are 0.075 mol.L-1 SO2 (g), 0.537 mol.L-1 O2 (g), and 0.925 mol.L-1 SO3 (g).

What does it mean exactly that the reactions are at equilibrium?

I just cannot picture this as I am used to thinking of reactions as two reactants (2H2+O2) reacting to form a product (2H20). Or, at first you have A+B, and then you have C. How can you simultaneously have A and B and C???

is it correct that the magnetic quantum number can only have 3 values, and that these values correspond with each orbital? If m(l) was -1, what would this say about the electron/atomic structure?

Re: What is the difference between deltaE=hv and E=hv?

good explanation^^ From my understanding, you use deltaE=hv when there is a change, a loss or a gaining of Energy.
E=hv is an equation that tells you how much energy a photon has in this moment.

Light is a Wave, Light is Photons

If light acts like both a wave and a series of photons, are there certain instances where it is acting like one or the other, or both? Do we know or can we predict such instances?
