A. NaBr, Na2SO4 B. Na2CO3, CaCO3 C. Fe2(CO3)3, Ba3(PO4)2 D. Na3PO4, Ca3(PO4)2 E. PbSO4, MgSO4
11. Chang 4.47 (with some changes). Give the oxidation number of the underlined element in
the following compounds and ions:
CO2 CH4 C2H2 CrO3 K2CrO4 NaHCO3 PO43–
Ox.#: +4 –4 –1 +6 +6 +4 +5
Na +1, H +1, O –2
1
12. Circle the correct answer for each
OH– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
H3O is a
+
Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
CO32– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
HCO3 is a
–
Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
PO43– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
H3PO4 is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
H2PO4– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
CH3COOH is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
CH3COO– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
SO42– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base (but a very weak base because HSO4–
yes is a weak acid but not very weak!)
13. Write the balanced molecular reaction and the net ionic reaction for the reaction between
BaCl2 and Na3PO4 in aqueous solution:
Molecular reaction: 3BaCl2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) → Ba3(PO4)2(s) + 6 NaCl(aq) Must show the (s)!
14. Chang 4.55 (with some additions). Classify the following reactions as: acid-base, precipitation,
combustion, combination, displacement or disproportionation reaction:
(students must choose one of the options)
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 disproportionation reaction
