Question

Sapling Learning macmillan learning Write balanced equations for these reactions using lowest whole-number coefficients. States of matter are optional. Carbonate ion (CO) acts as a Brensted base with water. Co, + H,O The carbon-containing product from the first reaction acts as a Brønsted base with water. HCO, + H,O The carbon-containing product from the second reaction decomposes immediately into carbon dioxide gas and water. Consider the products of the above reactions. When carbonate ion reacts with water, is the resulting solution acidic or basic? O basic O acidic

Explanation / Answer

carbonate ion act as bronsted base with water

CO3^2- + H2O-------------------> HCO3^- + OH^-

The carbon containing product from the first reaction act as a Bronsted base with water

HCO3^- + H2O ---------------------> H2CO3 + OH^-

The carbon containing product from the second reaction decomposes immediately into carbon dioxide and water

H2CO3 ------------------> CO2 + H2O

The carbonate ion react with water is the resulting solution is acidic

CO3^2- + H2O --------------> HCO3^- + OH^-

It is basic nature due to anionic hydrolysis.
