Acid-Base Reactions
« on: February 09, 2008, 03:58:12 PM »
Explain the following observations: (a). NH3 contains no OH ions, and yet its aqueous solutions are basic; b. HF is called a weak aced, and yet it is very reactive; c. although sulfuric acid is a strong electrolyte , an aqueous solution of H2SO4 contains more HSO4 negative ions than SO subscript 4, superscript 2- ions.

I am totally lost on this. Any help is appreciated.

Like your other question, http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=22729.msg86904#msg86904, this one is made of several different concepts.  What do you know about any of them?

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

I only know about the solubility rules. I have not heard of the other laws you mentioned.
