Buffers
« on: March 02, 2008, 11:56:42 AM »
Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody could tell me if these are right?

Write two equations showing how the HC2H3O2/NaC2H3O2 buffer uses up added H+ ions and OH- ions.

1. HC2H3O2 + H3O+ ---> H2C2H3O2 + H2O
2. NaC2H3O2 + OH- ---> C2H3O2- + H2O

Write two equations showing how the NH3/NH4Cl buffer uses up added H+ ions and OH- ions.

1. NH3 + H3O+ ---> NH4+ + H2O
2. NH4Cl + OH- ---> NH3 + H2O

None of these is balanced. Write net ionic equations, pay attention to charge balance.
