Gwar [14]

Answer:

NaCl neutral

Na₂SO₄ basic

NaHCO₃ basic

K₃PO₄ basic

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ basic

CaCl₂ neutral

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water.

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water

Explanation:

<em>Identify each item as being acidic, basic, or neutral when dissolved in water. If a particular ingredient does make an acidic or basic solution, describe how this occurs.</em>

<em />

NaCl

When NaCl is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Na₂SO₄

When Na₂SO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the SO₄²⁻ ion.

SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HSO₄⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

NaHCO₃

When NaHCO₃ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the HCO₃⁻ ion.

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂CO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

K₃PO₄

When K₃PO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the PO₄³⁻ ion.

PO₄³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ (sodium citrate)

When Na₃C₆H₅O₇ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the C₆H₅O₇³⁻ ion.

C₆H₅O₇³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₆O₇²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

CaCl₂

When CaCl₂ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

Na₂C₂O₄(aq) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

C₂H₂O₄(aq) ⇄ C₂HO₄⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

Describe the reason why a reaction between two substances comes to an end.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: The process by which a particular substance or different substances are transformed to another is called as Chemical Reaction.One reason, in the case of reversible reactions could be that the reaction reached equilibrium before the reaction was complete.Chemical reactions occur when chemical bonds between atoms are formed or broken. The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products.The concentration of reactants decreases as the reaction proceeds and at last their concentration comes to an end. Hence, the reaction stops too. If two reactants are being reacted, then the reactant which is in limited amount will consume first and will result in the termination of reaction.The usual reason is that one (or more) of the reactants gets used up.

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!
