3. Write DISSOCIATION or IONIZATION equations for the following chemicals:
be sure to state if it is an IONIZATION or a DISSOCIATION
a) HNO3
b) H2S04
c) H2S
d) NaOH
e) Na2CO3
f) Na2S04
g) NaCl

a) HNO3 -> H+ + NO3- disassociation of Nitric Acid; to yield a Nitrate ion and a Proton, H+, or as a Hydronium ion H3O+

b) H2S04 -> Disassociation of Sulfuric Acid; simple way- 2H+ + SO4- -

c) H2S hydrogen sulphide in water is an acid; thus H+ HS- disassociation.

d) NaOH -> dissociation of Na+ + OH-; this is complete; sodium hydroxide is deliquescent, meaning it will draw water - EVEN from the air! Strong Base

e) Na2CO3 -> 2Na+ CO3- - Ionization of sodium carbonate - a salt

f) Na2S04 -> 2Na+ + SO4 - - ionization of sodium sulphate - a salt

g) NaCl -> Na+ + Cl- ionization of the salt, Sodium Chloride

Explanation:

Salts ionize at different rates; acids or bases dissociate; these are mostly strong acids and NaOH, a strong base.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
