LenKa [72]

Answer:

pH = 8.34

Explanation:

The equilbriums of the amphoteric HCO₃⁻ (Ion of NaHCO₃) are:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ <em>HCO₃⁻</em> + H⁺ Ka1 <em>-Here, HCO₃⁻ is acting as a base-</em>

<em>HCO₃⁻</em>⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ Ka2 <em>-Here, is acting as an acid-</em>

Where Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷ and Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹. As pKa = -log Ka:

pKa1 = 6.37; pKa2 = 10.32

As the pH of amphoteric salts is:

pH = (pKa1 + pKa2) / 2

<h2>pH = 8.34</h2>

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction<br> ofFeCl3 and KOH in water?
Levart [38]

Answer:

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s)

Explanation:

First, we will write the molecular equation because it is the easiest to balance.

FeCl₃(aq) + 3 KOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3 KCl(aq)

The full ionic equation includes all the ions and the molecular species.

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq) + 3 K⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3 K⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s)
