Why is molten sodium acetate a strong electrolyte?
Molten sodium acetateis dissociated. Sodium acetate is formed from a strong base and a weak acid.
How to represent the buffer solution?
In general, a buffer system can be represented by writing a salt followed by slash and an acid or conjugate base followed by slash and an acid like salt/acid or conjugate base/acid. Thus, the sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer system can be written asCH3COONa/ CH3COOH or CH3COO-/CH3COOHSimilarly, ammonia-ammonium chloride buffer system can be represented asNH3 / NH4+Note that NH4+ is an acid and NH3 is a conjugate base according to Lewry-Bronsted concept.
What happens when you mix ammonia and baking soda?
Ammonia is a base whereas vinegar (acetic acid) is an acid. Reaction between an acid and a base is-Acid + Base ---> Salt + WaterReaction that happens when you mix ammonia and vinegar is-NH(3) + H(2)O ---> NH(4)OHNH(4)OH + CH(3)COOH ---> CH(3)COONH(4) + H(2)OCH(3)COONH(4) is called ammonium acetate.
What is the correct formula for the carbonate polyatomic ion?
Acetate ion is CH3C00-, C2H3O2-. It is the conjugate base of acetic acid, CH3COOH
Is cesium acetate neutral acidic or basic?
Cesium acetate would be mildly basic as the cesium ion is neutral while the acetate ion is a weak base.
Is calcium acetate an acid or a base?
Ca-acetate is a weak base, conjugated with a weak acid: H-acetate (i.e. acetic acid)
Is potassium acetate a weak acid?
It is a very weak base. not acid
Is magnesium acetate is a base?
Magnesium acetate in its aqueous state is neutral or slightly acid.
Is acetate the same to acetic acid?
No. Acetate is the anion (negative ion) derived from acetic acid. Acetic acid is CH3COOH. Acetate is CH3COO-. Acetate ions exist in minute concentrations in a solution of acetic acid and can also be produce by neutralizing acetic acid with a base.
What acid and base forms potassium acetate?
Potassium hydroxide and acetic acid.
What is CH3OONa?
Sodium acetate - the conjugate base to acetic acid
Is calcium acetate an acid or base?
Ca(CH3COO)2Neutral as the is the calcium salt of acetic acid.
What is an example of conjugate acid -base pair?
Acetic acid / acetate water / hydroxide ammonium / ammonia
What is an example of a conjugate acid base pair?
Acetic acid / acetate water / hydroxide ammonium / ammonia
Is CH3COO an acid or a base?
Correctly written it is 'CH3COO^- ' it is a conjugate base. It is named as Ethanoate ion or Acetate ion.
Why is kc2h3o2 an acid?
It is no acid at all! KC2H3O2 is potassium acetate, of which the acetate anion C2H3O2- is a weak base, pKb = 9.22 and potassium ions are neutral, hence of no effect on pH.
Why is molten sodium acetate a strong electrolyte?
Molten sodium acetateis dissociated. Sodium acetate is formed from a strong base and a weak acid.
