Samples of NaF (s) and NH4Cl (s) are dissolved in separate beakers that each contain 100 mL of water. One of the salts produces a slightly acidic solution. Which of the following equations best represents the formation of the slightly acidic solution? (A) Na+(aq) + 2 H2O(l) ? NaOH(aq) + H3O+(aq) (B) F?(aq) + H2O(l) ? HF(aq) + OH?(aq) (C) NH4+(aq) + H2O(l) ? NH3(aq) + H3O+(aq) (D) Cl?(aq) + H2O(l) ? HCl(aq) + OH?(aq)

Part 1. Which of the following salts produces a basic solution in water? NaF, KCl, NH4Cl? Answer: NaF Part 2: Write the reaction responsible for the solution being basic. Do not include spectator ions. If you chose multiple solutions in part 1, then write the reaction for the most basic solution. Include states.

Which net ionic equation best represents the reaction that occurs when an aqueous solution of sodium nitrate is mixed with an aqueous solution of ammonium fluoride? Na+(aq) + F-(aq) → NaF(s) NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq) → NH4NO3(aq) NH4F(aq) + NaNO3(aq) → NaF(s) + NH4NO3(aq) No net reaction occurs. Na+(aq) + NH4F(aq) → NaF(s) + NH4+(aq)
