Question

, is a stronger acid than the ammonium ion, NH4. When acetic monia, NHs, what species are present in the solution in the largest T LIIC aDove 9. Acetic acid, CH3COOH acid reaction with NH3 amounts? (Hint- write out the described reaction a. acetic acid and ammonia b. acetic acid and ammonium ion c. acetate ion (CH3COO) and ammonia d. acetate ion and ammonium ion e. all are in equal amounts .) 10. Which of the following is true of all pH indicators? they each have a characteristic pH at which they change color

Explanation / Answer

since acetic acid is a weak acid hence its conjugate base will be strong enough in the solution ie , acetate ion while nh3 is a strong base so it will gain proton of acetic acid to form NH4+ ion in large amount...hence in the final solution we will have acetate ion and ammonium ion in excess...
