Question

When chloric acid reacts with water, it reacts as a strong acid. Write an equation for its ionization in water. Use minimal integer numbers to balance the reaction. Include physical states in your answer, e.g., start with HClO3(l).

Answer 1

Answer:

HClO3(aq) -----> H+(aq) +  ClO3-(aq)

HClO3(aq) + H2O(l) ----->  H3O+ (aq)  + ClO3- (aq)

Explanation:

To arm the chemical equations, remember that in a strong acid (bases too) you have one arrow to products; in weak acids and bases you have equilibrium, that's why we have 2 arrows on the equations.
