Identify the compound: (NH_4)_2SO_4 is ammonium sulfate.
Determine the ions formed: Ammonium sulfate dissociates into ammonium ions (NH_4^+) and sulfate ions (SO_4^{2-}) in water.
Write the dissociation equation: (NH_4)_2SO_4 (s) \(\rightarrow\) 2 NH_4^+ (aq) + SO_4^{2-} (aq).
Count the ions: For each formula unit of ammonium sulfate, two ammonium ions and one sulfate ion are produced.
Conclude the ions present: The solution contains NH_4^+ and SO_4^{2-} ions.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Dissociation of Ionic Compounds

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, they dissociate into their constituent ions. This process occurs because the polar water molecules surround and separate the individual ions, allowing them to move freely in solution. Understanding this concept is crucial for predicting the ions present when a compound like ammonium sulfate is dissolved.

Ionic Compounds Naming

Ammonium Ion (NH4+)

The ammonium ion (NH4+) is a positively charged polyatomic ion formed when ammonia (NH3) accepts a proton (H+). In the context of (NH4)2SO4, each formula unit produces two ammonium ions upon dissociation, which are essential for understanding the overall ionic composition of the solution.

Ion Formation

Sulfate Ion (SO4^2-)

The sulfate ion (SO4^2-) is a negatively charged polyatomic ion that consists of one sulfur atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms. It carries a -2 charge and is a key component of many salts, including ammonium sulfate. Recognizing the presence of sulfate ions in solution is vital for determining the complete ionic makeup when (NH4)2SO4 is dissolved in water.

Domanda del libro di testo

We have learned in this chapter that many ionic solids dissolve in water as strong electrolytes; that is, as separated ions in solution. Which statement is most correct about this process? (a) Water is a strong acid and therefore is good at dissolving ionic solids. (b) Water is good at solvating ions because the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules bear partial charges. (c) The hydrogen and oxygen bonds of water are easily broken by ionic solids.
