Question

Which net ionic equation best represents a weak acid-strong base reaction?

A. H3BO3 (aq) -> BO3– (aq) + H2O (l)
B. 2OH– (aq) -> H2O (I)
C. H3BO3 (aq) -> OH– (aq) + H2O (I)
D. HB3O3 (aq) -> KOH (aq) + H2O (I)

I'm stuck on this /:

Answer 1

Anyone?

Answer 2

I guess you need to work this out and see what the mechanism would be and how the electrons would go. of course a strong base will remove protons. but it's possible that it may remove all of them.

I agree @Rushwr, I think that it's A.






D. is out that would imply that the reaction didn't happen at all. i don't think it's C either.
B. doesn't show us the whole story either.
