Question

a) The compound ammonium acetate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid ammonium acetate is put into water.

b)The compound cobalt(II) nitrate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid cobalt(II) nitrate is put into water.

Answer 1

a. All ammonium salts are strong electrolytes. They are completely soluble in water and to gives more number of ions.

The compound ammonium acetate is a strong electrolyte .

when solid ammonium acetate is put into water to gives ammonium ions and acetate ions

CH3COONH4(s) -----------------> CH3COO^- (aq) + NH4^+ (aq)

b. All nitrate salts are strong electrolytes. They are completely soluble in water and to gives more number of ions.

The compound cobalt(II) nitrate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid cobalt(II) nitrate is put into water to gives cobalt cations and nitrate ions.

Co(NO3)2(s) ---------------> Co^2+ (aq) + 2NO3^- (aq)
