Write a balanced equilibrium equation for the dissolution of nai in water. include phases.
2 answers:
Explanation:
The compound sodium iodide (NaI) is an ionic compound as there is formation of chemical bond by transfer of electrons from sodium to iodine.
Therefore, it is a polar molecule and we know that water is also a polar solvent. Hence, like dissolves like as a result, sodium iodide will dissociate into water.
The reaction equation will be as follows.

There should be mass balance and the charge balance between the reactants and the products
Mass balance : total no of individual atoms of each type should be balanced before and after the reaction
Charge balance : Overall charge of the reactants should be balanced with the overall charge of the products
You can balance,
1)by just looking at it
2)by Algebraic method given above or
3)by the redox method
You need to know how to get the oxidation numbers in order to use the oxidation method

An element is a substance that can't be broken down further. Lithium (Li) and calcium (Ca) are examples of elements.
Carbon monoxide (CO) and potassium bromide (KBr) are examples of compounds, which are made up of more than one element put together.
