Capitolo 2, Problema 9
Classify each of the molecules on the left as an acid, base, or salt. The dissociation products of the molecules are shown to help you.
NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻
a. Acid
b. Base
c. Salt
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the molecule given: NaOH (sodium hydroxide).
Look at the dissociation products: NaOH dissociates into Na⁺ (sodium ion) and OH⁻ (hydroxide ion).
Recall the definitions: Acids release H⁺ ions in solution, bases release OH⁻ ions, and salts dissociate into ions that are neither H⁺ nor OH⁻.
Since NaOH releases OH⁻ ions upon dissociation, classify it as a base.
Confirm that Na⁺ is a cation from a metal and OH⁻ is the hydroxide ion, which is characteristic of bases.

Concetti chiave
Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Acids, Bases, and Salts Classification
Acids are substances that release H⁺ ions in solution, bases release OH⁻ ions, and salts are ionic compounds formed from the neutralization of an acid and a base. Understanding these definitions helps classify molecules based on their dissociation products.

Acids and Bases
Dissociation in Aqueous Solutions
Dissociation refers to the process where molecules separate into ions when dissolved in water. Identifying the ions produced, such as OH⁻ or Na⁺, is key to determining whether the original molecule is an acid, base, or salt.

Role of Hydroxide Ion (OH⁻) in Bases
The presence of hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in the dissociation products indicates a base. For example, NaOH dissociates into Na⁺ and OH⁻, classifying it as a strong base due to the release of OH⁻ ions.
