Whati ions will form if CH3COOH is dissolved in ammonia, acetic acid and sulfuric acid (resepctifully), giving full equations?
1. CH3COOH is acidic in nature and NH3 is basic in nature. The dissolved ammonia picks up a proton from the weak acid (acetic acid) to make ammonium ion (NH4+), leaving the acetate ion (CH3COO-). Ammonium acetate is "strong" because it dissociates completely in solution. There will no tendency for ammonium ions and acetate ions to combine to make molecules of CH3COONH4
NH3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) NH4+ + CH3COO-
2. CH3COOH(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) - No reaction
3. CH3COOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) -
