Write two complete, balanced equations for each of the following reactions, one using condensed formulas and one using Lewis structures.
Ethylammonium chloride is added to a solution of sodium hydroxide.
Short Answer
Step by step solution
Bronsted theory
In acid-base reactions, there are acids and bases.
By the Bronsted theory, the acid is a proton donor, while the base is a proton acceptor.
In this case, we have both, and the acid-base reaction is ready.
Acid-base reaction
\(NaOH\} is already known as a strong base which means it will take protons from other compounds very easily, especially from acids.
On the other hand, we have ethylammonium chloride, a salt, but ammonium protonated is an acid that will donate its proton to the nitrogen atom, and chloride will form a salt with sodium from \(NaOH.\) Reactions are observed in the picture.
