In the reaction {eq}HSO_3^-(aq) + NH_3(aq) \to NH_4^+(aq) + SO_3^{2-}(aq) {/eq}, is {eq}HSO_3^-(aq) {/eq} acting as a proton donor or proton acceptor? Explain. Acids and Bases: Arrhenius defined acid and...
Complete and balance the acid-base equation. HC2H3O2(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) arrow (blank). Balance the following skeletal equation in acidic conditions: NO3-(aq) arrow NH4+(aq). In the balanced half-reaction, will H+(aq) be on the reactant or product side of the equation? Wri...
bisulfiteIn the negative-ion collision-induced dissociation mass spectra of most organic sulfonates, the base peak is observed at m/z 80 for the sulfur trioxide radical anion (SO3–·). In contrast, the product-ion spectra of a few sulfonates, such as cysteic acid, aminomethanesulfonate, and...
The shifts in stretching vibrations of the acidic proton participating in the formation of a weak hydrogen bond with a molecule of a base in aprotic media can be used for the quantitative determination of the strength of the acid [i] and the base [2]. In the present communication, it is...
