Understanding Ionic Equations

What is the exception to dissociating aqueous compounds in complete ionic equations?

• Strong acids

• Weak acids and bases

• All ionic compounds

• Gases

Which of the following compounds will fully dissociate in water?

• HF

• CaCl2

• NH3

• H2O

What is the role of spectator ions in a chemical reaction?

• They participate in the reaction

• They change the reaction rate

• They form new compounds

• They remain unchanged on both sides of the equation

Which of the following is a strong acid that completely ionizes in water?

• HF

• HCl

• NH4OH

• CH3COOH

Why is it important to memorize the list of strong acids and bases?

• To avoid dissociating weak acids and bases

• To balance chemical equations

• To calculate reaction rates

• To identify gases
