How do you write the dissociation equation for acid salt 'sodium hydrogen sulfate'?

The dissociation equation for sodium hydrogen sulfate, NaHSO4, can be written as: NaHSO4 --> Na+ + HSO4-


What is NAHSO4 plus HCl?

When sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl), it forms sodium chloride (NaCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as products. This is a double displacement reaction where the positive ions of the two reactants switch places to form the new compounds.


What is the name of NaHSO4 H2O?

The preferred modern name for the compound with the formula NaHSO4.H2O is "sodium acid sulfate monohydrate". This compound was formerly called "sodium bisulfate monohydrate", and some chemists still use the older name.

The name of NaHSO4 in an ionic compound is sodium hydrogen sulfate.


What is the name and formula of an acid that can form two different sodium salts?

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) can form two different sodium salts: sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4).


What is the Ka of NaHSO4?

The Ka of NaHSO4 (sodium hydrogen sulfate) is approximately 1.2 x 10^-2.


Is hydrochloric acid the same as sodium bisulfate?

No, hydrochloric acid is a strong mineral acid composed of hydrogen and chlorine (HCl), while sodium bisulfate is a salt compound composed of sodium, hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen (NaHSO4). They have different chemical compositions and properties.

What is the formula for hydrogen sulfate?

The formula for hydrogen sulphate (also spelled hygrogen sulfate) is H2SO4. This is perhaps better known as sulphuric acid.


When sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide one of the product terms is?

The general reaction for acid-base reactions is as follows: Acid + Base = Salt + Water In this case H2SO4 + 2 NaOH --> Na2SO4 + 2 H2O Actually: H2SO4 (aq) + NaOH (aq) ---> NaHSO4 (aq) + H2O(l) NaHSO4 (aq) + NaOH (aq) ---> Na2SO4 (aq) + H2O(l)


Can sodium bi sulfate prepared by mixing sodium sulfate with hydrochloric acid?

No, sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4) cannot be prepared by mixing sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) with hydrochloric acid (HCl), because both sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acids are "strong" acids (the H+ will completely dissociate from the anion in solution). If there is enough sodium to bind to the sulfate ions (2 sodiums per sulfate), then the H+ ions will gladly let them do so. So, NaHSO4 must be produced from sulfuric acid (H2SO4). One method is adding just enough sodium hydroxide (NaOH) so that the number of sodium ions is equal to the number of sulfate ions: H2SO4 + NaOH ---> NaHSO4 + H2O The sodium will displace one of the hydrogens, but there's not enough to displace both.


Is acetamide acid or base?

Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.
