Question

a. write the reaction that occurs when ammonia and acetic acid are mixed. b. Although ammonia and acetic acid are weak electrolytes, a mixture of these two solutions behaves as a strong electrolyte. Why? arrange the following 0.1 M solutions in order of increasing conductivity and explain why you chose this order: 0.1 M FeCl3, 0.1 M MgCl2, 0.1 M NaCl, 0.1 M glucose (C6H1206)

Explanation / Answer

a)CH3COOH + NH3 = CH3COONH4 b)ammonia (NH4OH in water) and acetic acid undergo an acid-base reaction CH3CO2H + NH4OH ----> NH4CH3CO2 + H2O Electrical conductivity of water depends on the concentration of ions - as you add more water the concentration of the ions from the sodium chloride is reduced.
