What are major and minor species?
« on: July 17, 2007, 12:52:41 AM »
Hello everyone,

A few of my friends and I have recently been assigned a lab that our professor didn't explain clearly. We are given a chart with a list of substances, and in that list we are asked to fill in electrolyte properties, solubility, and major and minor species. We have the electrolyte and solubility covered, but we still need help with the major and minor species.

Example problem - What major and minor species do baking soda dissociate into?

Thank you all, all help is appreciated!  :)
