Net Ionic Equations and Neutralization

The video tutorial covers Example 5.10 from the textbook, focusing on predicting the product of a neutralization reaction between acetic acid and potassium hydroxide. It explains how to write molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations. The tutorial highlights the properties of acetic acid as a weak acid and potassium hydroxide as a strong base, detailing the dissociation process. It also identifies spectator ions and concludes with the net ionic equation, emphasizing the formation of acetate and water.

What is the main focus of the example discussed in the video?

• Understanding the periodic table

• Identifying strong acids

• Predicting the product of a neutralization reaction

• Balancing chemical equations

What are the products formed when acetic acid reacts with potassium hydroxide?

• Salt and hydrogen gas

• Water and carbon dioxide

• Salt and water

• Acid and base

Why is it unnecessary to add additional subscripts to the salt formed in the reaction?

• Because water is also formed

• Because acetic acid is a weak acid

• Because the reaction is not balanced

• Because potassium and acetate ions have equal charges

What is a characteristic of acetic acid in the complete ionic equation?

• It dissociates completely in water

• It remains undissociated in solution

• It forms a precipitate

• It reacts with oxygen

Which compound is considered a strong base in the reaction?

• Potassium acetate

• Water

• Acetic acid

• Potassium hydroxide

What happens to potassium acetate in the complete ionic equation?

• It breaks apart into ions

• It reacts with water

• It remains undissociated

• It forms a precipitate

Which ion is identified as the spectator ion in the net ionic equation?

• Hydrogen ion

• Potassium ion

• Hydroxide ion

• Acetate ion

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction?

• HC2H3O2 + OH- → C2H3O2- + H2O

• K+ + OH- → KOH

• H+ + OH- → H2O

• H2O + K+ → KOH

Why do not all ions cancel out in the net ionic equation?

• Because acetic acid is a weak acid

• Because acetic acid is a strong acid

• Because potassium hydroxide is a weak base

• Because water is a strong electrolyte

What is the final product of the neutralization reaction discussed?

• Only salt

• Hydrogen gas and water

• Only water

• Acetate and water
