Write an equation for the hydrolysis of each of the following salt: i) NaCH2H3O2; ii) Na2CO3; iii) NH4Br
CH2H3O2^- + HOH ==>CH2H4O2 + OH^-
CO3^2- + HOH ==> HCO3^- + OH^-
NH4^+ + HOH ==> H3O^+ + NH3
Sure! Here are the equations for the hydrolysis of each of the given salts:
i) NaCH2H3O2 (Sodium Acetate):
NaCH2H3O2 + H2O -> CH3COONa + H3O+
ii) Na2CO3 (Sodium Carbonate):
Na2CO3 + H2O -> NaHCO3 + NaOH
iii) NH4Br (Ammonium Bromide):
NH4Br + H2O -> NH4OH + HBr
Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with!
To write an equation for the hydrolysis of a salt, we need to identify the ions that make up the salt and determine if they react with water to produce any products. Here are the equations for the hydrolysis of each of the salts you mentioned:
i) NaCH2H3O2 (Sodium Acetate)
NaCH2H3O2 + H2O → CH3COOH + NaOH
In this case, sodium acetate reacts with water to produce acetic acid (CH3COOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
ii) Na2CO3 (Sodium Carbonate)
Na2CO3 + H2O → NaHCO3 + NaOH
Sodium carbonate reacts with water to produce sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
iii) NH4Br (Ammonium Bromide)
NH4Br + H2O → NH3 + HBr + H2O
Ammonium bromide reacts with water to produce ammonia (NH3), hydrogen bromide (HBr), and additional water (H2O).
It's important to note that in these equations, the resulting products may be further influenced by the pH and conditions of the reaction.
