1.consider this reaction
2NH3(aq)+ CO2(aq)+H2O(l)--->(NH4)2CO3(aq)
As ammonia and carbon dioxide are under an aqueous state, then why "H2O" is shown on this equation?
Does that mean "H2O" is involved in the reaction??
2.consider this reaction
HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)--->NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)
The two reactants are under an aqueous environment, so what the significant meaning of the product "H20"? Does this mean that the water level will rise after the reaction? Like, if we start having 2 moles of water molecules in the solution, we will end up of having 3 moles of water molecules?
3. Does the state (aq) mean that compound is soluble in water?? What if that compound is currently soluble in another solvent, say, benzene. what symbol will we use to show it's soluble in that??
Thank you!!
