Lesson: Acid–Base Reaction Equations

In this lesson, we will learn how to write balanced chemical equations for acid–base reactions and how to describe common patterns of reactivity.

Worksheet: 4 Questions

Q1:

Write a balanced molecular equation for the acid-base reaction between barium hydroxide and nitric acid, including state symbols.

Q2:

Write a balanced molecular equation for the acid–base reaction between hydrogen hypochlorite ( H O C l ) and water, including state symbols.

Q3:

In dilute aqueous solutions, H F acts as a weak acid. However, pure liquid H F (boiling point = 19.5℃) is a strong acid. In liquid H F , H N O 3 acts like a base and accepts protons. The acidity of liquid H F can be increased by adding one of several inorganic fluorides that are Lewis acids and accept F – ions (i.e., B F 3 or S b F 5 ).

Give a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of H N O 3 with pure H F .

Give a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of B F 3 with pure H F .
