Steps in Solving chemical equilibria
- 1. List all chemical species or elemental
groupings that are likely to exist
Cations: Na+, K+, Ca+2, NH4
+, H+, etc.
Anions: NO3
- , Cl-, SO4
- 2, OH-, PO4
- 3, HPO4
- 2, H2PO4
- ,
Ac-, HCO3
- , CO3
- 2, etc.
Neutral species: NH3, HAc, H3PO4, H2CO3, etc.
note that ionic salts (e.g., NaCl, KCl) completely dissociate in water an thus should not be listed.
