Question

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of each cation with water, in those cases where a reaction occurs. (Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer. Enter NONE in any unused answer blanks.) (1) The NHa ion is the conjugate acid of a weak base, NH3. It reacts with water to produce the H30t ion, as follows. chemPad Help Greek NH 4 (aq) + H-20(1)NH-3(aq) + H-30A+(aq) Correct (2) The Ca?' ion is the cation of a strong base, Ca(OH)2, and it does not react with water chemPad Help Greek Ca2 (aq)+ H3o*(aq) Ca(OH)2(aq)OH Ygur answer contains an incorrect or incomplete chemical formula. Your answer contalns an Incorrect or incomplete (3) The Lit ion is the cation of a strong base, LiOH, and it does not react with water chemPad Help Greek

Explanation / Answer

   NH4^+ (aq) + H2O -----------> NH3(aq)      +     H3O^+ (aq)

acid                 base                 conjugate base     conjugate acid

2. Ca^+2(aq) + 2H2O(l) -------------> Ca(OH)2 (aq) + 2H^+ (aq)

   Ca(OH)2 is strong base.So it is ionisable to gives OH^- . Ca^2+ does not react with H2O

3. Li^+ (aq) + H2O(l) -------------------> LiOH(aq) + H^+(aq)

LiOH is strong base.So it is ionisable to gives OH^- . Li+ does not react with H2O
