Question

Write net Brønsted equations that show the acidic or basic nature of the following solutions in water. For polyprotic species (vitamin C, lemon juice, and washing soda), show only one proton transfer. Remember that spectator ions are not included. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states-of-matter in your answer.)
(a) vinegar (acetic acid, HC2H3O2)
(b) bleach (sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl)
(c) ammonia (NH3)
(d) Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, H2C6H6O6)
(e) lemon juice (citric acid, H3C6H5O7)
(f) washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3)

Answer 1

Answer:

The reactions are shown in the explanation

Explanation:

The net bronsted equation will include the acid / base and its dissciated product. (conjugate base or acid and hydrogen or hydroxide ions)

a) Vinegar

$CH{3}COOH+H_{2}O--->CH{3}COO^{-}+H_{3}O^{+}$

b) bleach

$NaOCl+H_{2}O--->HOCl+Na^{+}+OH^{-}$

c) ammonia

$NH_{3}+H_{2}O--->NH_{4}^{+}+OH^{-}$

d)Vitamin C

$H_{2}C_{6}H_{6}O_{6}+H_{2}O--->HC_{6}H_{6}O_{6}^{-}+H_{3}O^{+}$

e)Citric acid

$H_{3}C_{6}H_{6}O_{7}+H_{2}O--->H_{2}C_{6}H_{6}O_{7}^{-}+H_{3}O^{+}$

f) Washing soda

$Na_{2}CO_{3} +H_{2}O--->NaHCO_{3}^{-}+OH^{-}$
