Chapter 8: Problem 102

Name the acid and base that combine to form: (a) \(\mathrm{KNO}_{3}\) (b) \(\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}\) (c) \(\mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) (d) NaI

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) The acid and base that combine to form \(\mathrm{KNO}_{3}\) are nitric acid (HNO\(_{3}\)) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). (b) The acid and base that combine to form \(\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}\) are phosphoric acid (H\(_{3}\)PO\(_{4}\)) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)\(_{2}\)). (c) The acid and base that combine to form \(\mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) are sulfuric acid (H\(_{2}\)SO\(_{4}\)) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH). (d) The acid and base that combine to form NaI are hydroiodic acid (HI) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

Step by step solution

01

(a) Identify the ions in \(\mathrm{KNO}_{3}\)

We can see that the given salt is composed of potassium (K\(^+\)) and nitrate (NO\(_{3}^-\)) ions. Now, we will identify the acid and base from which these ions come.
02

(a) Determine the acid and base of \(\mathrm{KNO}_{3}\)

Potassium ion (K\(^+\)) comes from potassium hydroxide (KOH), which is a base. The nitrate ion (NO\(_{3}^-\)) comes from nitric acid (HNO\(_{3}\)), which is an acid. So, for \(\mathrm{KNO}_{3}\), the acid is nitric acid and the base is potassium hydroxide.
03

(b) Identify the ions in \(\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}\)

In this salt, we have calcium (Ca\(^{2+}\)) and phosphate (PO\(_{4}^{3-}\)) ions. Now we will identify their corresponding acid and base.
04

(b) Determine the acid and base of \(\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}\)

Calcium ion (Ca\(^{2+}\)) comes from calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)\(_{2}\)), which is a base. The phosphate ion (PO\(_{4}^{3-}\)) comes from phosphoric acid (H\(_{3}\)PO\(_{4}\)), which is an acid. So, for \(\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}\), the acid is phosphoric acid and the base is calcium hydroxide.
05

(c) Identify the ions in \(\mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\)

In this salt, we have lithium (Li\(^+\)) and sulfate (SO\(_{4}^{2-}\)) ions. Now we will identify their corresponding acid and base.
06

(c) Determine the acid and base of \(\mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\)

Lithium ion (Li\(^+\)) comes from lithium hydroxide (LiOH), which is a base. The sulfate ion (SO\(_{4}^{2-}\)) comes from sulfuric acid (H\(_{2}\)SO\(_{4}\)), which is an acid. So, for \(\mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\), the acid is sulfuric acid and the base is lithium hydroxide.
07

(d) Identify the ions in NaI

In this salt, we have sodium (Na\(^+\)) and iodide (I\(^-\)) ions. Now we will identify their corresponding acid and base.
08

(d) Determine the acid and base of NaI

Sodium ion (Na\(^+\)) comes from sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which is a base. The iodide ion (I\(^-\)) comes from hydroiodic acid (HI), which is an acid. So, for NaI, the acid is hydroiodic acid and the base is sodium hydroxide.
