our school gave us bit of info.. but teacher say it's not enuff-_-
can you guys help me please

Acid+base reaction.. questions i can't solve TT

HI(aq)+NaOH(aq) -> ?
HI(aq)+ZnO(s) -> ?
HI(aq)+NH3(aq) -> ?

Thank you guys!

lots of info on the main site... dig up any summary (look for the one done by tennile or withoutaface... i think their summaries are rather extensive)

but to summarise, why are they bad - acid rain (then of course, you need to explain why acid rain is bad) and photochemical smog (for NOx)

for a/b reaction:

HI + NaOH <---> NaI + H2O
2HI + ZnO <----> Zn I2 + H2O
HI + NH3 <-----> NH4 I (aq)

HI is the acid here... so just think how would acid react with base... and voila...
