What is the error? NH4OH (aq) + KOH (aq) --> KOH (aq) + NH4OH (aq)

Answer:

  • <u>There is not a chemical reaction. This is just the dissolution of two ionic compounds that remain dissolved in solution, without reacting.</u>

Explanation:

The issue here is that none chemical reaction is happening.

The two compounds mixed are ionic bases: both of them dissociate in water producing OH⁻ ions:

  • NH₄OH (aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

  • KOH (aq) → K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Then, when you write the total ionic equation you have:

NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) +  K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) →

                                                   NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) +  K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Look at the species on the reactant side and the product side: the same ions are found on both sides.

That means that all of them are spectator ions: they are just dissolved, and remain in water (aqueous solution) without reacting. None new different compound is formed.

The net ionic equation would not have any species because the spectator ions get canceled.

What happens to the energy that is lost when water freezes?
SVEN [57.7K]
<span>As we know through the principle of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the energy removed from the water in order to make it freeze is absorbed by the surroundings. This is why the surroundings in which freezing is taking place are below freezing. This is more easily illustrated in the example of condensation. If you were to hold a plate over a pot of boiling water, some of the water would give its energy to the plate and condense on its surface.</span>

Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having which type(s) of crystal structure(s)?
kari74 [83]
Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having body center cubic and hexagonal closed packed structures. Twinning is said to occur when a portion of a crystal takes up an orientation that is related to the orientation of the untwinned lattice in a definite symmetrical manner.
