Answer #1

a) HCl(aq) + H2O(l) -------------> H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq) HCl is strong acid so dissociates completely

b) H2SO3(aq) + H2O(l) <-----------> HSO3-(aq) + H3O+(aq) H2SO3 is weak acid so dissociates partialy

for weak acids

Ka = [H3O+][HSO3-]/[H2SO3]

c) HNO3(aq) + H2O(l) ------------> H3O+(aq) + NO3-(aq) HNO3 is strong acid so dissociates completely.

d) HCN(aq) + H2O(l)  <--------------> CN-(aq) + H3O+(aq) HCN is weak acid so dissociates partially

Ka = [H3O+][CN-] / [HCN]
