c. Hydroiodic acid and pyridine (C5H5N) d. Sulfuric acid and ammonia (Only the first proton on sulfuric acid is strong, so only write the reaction for the first proton.) e. Nitric acid and hydrazine (N2H4)
Write the complete molecular equation (regular equation), complete ionic equation (all strong electrolytes broken apart into ions), and net ionic equation (spectator ions removed) for each strong acid-weak base reaction.
Strong acids: hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, perchloric, chloric, sulfuric
Weak bases: any neutral compound containing nitrogen
a. Hydrochloric acid and ammonia
CME: HCl(aq) + NH3(aq) → NH4Cl(aq)
CIE: H^+ + Cl– + NH3(aq) → NH4^+ + Cl–
NIE: H^++ NH3(aq) → NH4^+
b. Hydrobromic acid and methylamine (CH3NH2)
c. Hydroiodic acid and pyridine (C5H5N)
d. Sulfuric acid and ammonia (Only the first proton on sulfuric acid is strong, so only write the reaction for the first proton.)
e. Nitric acid and hydrazine (N2H4)
