Title: How to find the product of this chemical equation? Post by: ilindsey05 on Feb 15, 2013 How do you find the product equation of:
(NH4)(H2)(PO4)+ H2O-> ? I put the parenthesis in so you won't have trouble figuring out if the numbers are next to the element or are a part of the element. I'd like to know the step by step process so I can refresh my mind on how to do these kind of equations. Thanks. Title: How to find the product of this chemical equation? Post by: michaud94 on Feb 15, 2013 Product??? Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate will dissociate in water to make ammonium ions and dihydrogen phosphate ions. Of course there will be all manner of H+ exchanges going on, and the concentration of the various species will depend on the pH of the solution. Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate occurs in an acidic medium.
NH4H2PO4(s) ---H2O---> NH4+ + H2PO4- Some of the various reactions that will be occurring: NH4+ + H2O <==> NH3 + H3O+ H2PO4- + H2O <==> HPO4^2- + H3O+ H2PO4- + H3O+ <==> H3PO4 + H2O |
