Write the total ionic equations for a the addition of the ac

Write the total ionic equations for a) the addition of the acid to the buffer, and b) the addition of base to the buffer

Acid= Vinegar

Base= Ammonia

Buffer= Na2CO3 + NaHCO3

Write the net ionic equations for a) and b) from the previous question.

Solution

(a) Total ionic equation:

CH3COOH(aq) + 2 Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) => CH3COO^-(aq) + 2 Na^+(aq) + HCO3^-(aq)


Net ionic equation:

CH3COOH(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) => CH3COO^-(aq) + HCO3^-(aq)



(b) Total ionic equation:

NH3(aq) + Na^+(aq) + HCO3^-(aq) => NH4^+(aq) + Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq)


Net ionic equation:

NH3(aq) + HCO3^-(aq) => NH4^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq)
