Chapter 16, Problem 16.132SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The nature of $\text{NaA}$ from neutral, acidic or basic solutionneeds to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ion in the aqueous solution. Base donates hydroxide ion in the aqueous solution. Acid also accepts hydroxide ion and base can accepts hydrogen ion.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The nature of $\text{M}{\left({\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}$ from neutral, acidic or basic solution needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ion in the aqueous solution. Base donates hydroxide ion in the aqueous solution. Acid also accepts hydroxide ion and base can accepts hydrogen ion.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The nature of ${\text{NaNO}}_{\text{3}}$ from neutral, acidic or basic solution needs to be determined by verifying the principle reaction.

Concept introduction:

Acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ion in the aqueous solution. Base donates hydroxide ion in the aqueous solution. Acid also accepts hydroxide ion and base can accepts hydrogen ion.
