Missing question: Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate and cobalt(II) bromide are combined.<span>Balanced chemical reaction:
(NH</span>₄)₂CO₃(aq) + CoBr₂(aq) → CoCO₃(s) + 2NH₄Br(aq).
Net ionic reaction:
2NH₄⁺(aq) + CO²⁻(aq) + Co²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) → CoCO₃ + 2NH₄(aq)+ 2Br(aq).
or CO²⁻(aq) + Co²⁺(aq) → CoCO₃(s).
To minimize the sharp pH shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution, IT IS PRACTICAL TO ADD A WEAK BASE.
When a strong acid is added to a solution, it usually brings about a sharp change in the pH of the concerned solution. To avoid this, one can add a weak base to the solution first. The weak base will serves as a buffer for the strong acid and prevents the solution from experiencing sharp pH variations.
The compound contains an ester functional group.
An ester is a carbonyl (C=O) group with an alkyl (R) group on one side and an alkoxy (OR) group on the other.
We write the <em>condensed structural formula</em> of an ester as R(C=O)OR or RCOOR.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
C. Nucleophilic attack and carbocation rearrangement to form the most stable carbocation before the substitution reaction
