Question

Write the formulas of all species in solution for the following ionic compounds by writing their dissolving equations:

(Use the lowest possible coefficients.)

1. Rubidium hydroxide: __--__+___
2. Sodium carbonate: __--__+__
3. Ammonium selenite:__--__+__

Answer 1

1. RbOH(s) ⇒ Rb⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

2. Na₂CO₃(s) ⇒ 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

3. (NH₄)₂SeO₃(s) ⇒2 NH₄⁺(aq) + SeO₃²⁻(aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the dissolving equations for the following compounds.

1. Rubidium hydroxide

RbOH(s) ⇒ Rb⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

2. Sodium carbonate

Na₂CO₃(s) ⇒ 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

3. Ammonium selenite

(NH₄)₂SeO₃(s) ⇒2 NH₄⁺(aq) + SeO₃²⁻(aq)
