Question

1. In each of the following reactions between a weak acid and a strong base, all of the acid was neutralizing by adding a stoichiometric amount of base. Write the dominant equilibrium that will exist (including phase labels) in this neutralized solution. a. CH3COOH reacting with RbOH ________________________ Your answer contains an ambiguous or incomplete reaction equation. Check all the components on the product-side of the equation. b. HOBr reacting with NaOH ________________ Your answer contains an incorrect or incomplete chemical formula. Your answer appears to have inconsistent states-of-matter. Your answer contains an incorrect or incomplete reactant.

Explanation / Answer

CH3COOH(aq) + RbOH(aq) --- > CH3COORb (aq)+ H2O(l)

HOBr(aq) + NaOH(aq) -- > NaOBr (aq)+ H2O(l)
