Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when equal volumes of 0.546 M aqueous acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) a

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_3O_2^-\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+C_9H_7O_4^-$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to figure out the required net ionic equation by firstly writing out the complete molecular equation between aspirin and sodium acetate:

$C_9H_8O_4+NaC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+NaC_9H_7O_4$

Whereas acetic acid and sodium acetylsalicylate are formed. Now, we write the complete ionic equation whereby sodium acetate and sodium acetylsalicylate are ionized because they are salts yet neither aspirin nor acetic acid are ionized as they are weak acids:

$C_9H_8O_4+Na^++C_2H_3O_2^-\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+Na^++C_9H_7O_4^-$

Finally, for the net ionic equation we cancel out the sodium spectator ions to obtain:

$C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_3O_2^-\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+C_9H_7O_4^-$

Regards!

In which pair do both compounds exhibit predominantly ionic bonding? A) KCl and CO2 B) SO2 and BaF2 C) F2 and N2O D) N2O3 and Rb

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

E) NaF and SrO

Explanation:

The ionic bonding occurs between atoms with a great difference in electronegativity. This usually happens between a metal and a non-metal.

In which pair do both compounds exhibit predominantly ionic bonding?

A) KCl and CO₂. NO. C and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

B) SO₂ and BaF₂. NO. S and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

C) F₂ and N₂O. NO. Both compounds contain non-metals and present covalent bonding.

D) N₂O₃ and Rb₂O. NO. N and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

E) NaF and SrO. YES. Na and Sr are metals while F and O are non-metals.
