How To Write The Dissociation Equations of Ionic Compounds
The Organic Chemistry Tutor・2 minutes read
Various dissociation equations for different compounds were discussed, including sodium chloride, ammonium bromide, calcium nitrate, and magnesium iodide, detailing the charges and resulting ions in the aqueous phase. The text also includes examples of dissociation equations for calcium chloride, sodium carbonate, potassium phosphate, and barium hydroxide, outlining the charges and coefficients for each compound.
Insights
- Understanding ionic compound dissociation: Different ions in compounds have specific charges (positive or negative) that dictate their behavior in solution, leading to the formation of distinct dissociation equations for various compounds.
- Charge balance in dissociation equations: The charges of cations and anions in ionic compounds must balance to maintain neutrality, influencing the composition of the dissociation equations and highlighting the fundamental principles of ionic interactions.

Recent questions
What happens when sodium chloride dissolves?
When sodium chloride dissolves, sodium forms cations with a +1 charge, while chloride ions have a -1 charge. This results in the formation of NaCl in the aqueous phase.
How does ammonium bromide dissociate?
Ammonium bromide dissociates by the ammonium ion, which has a +1 charge, combining with the bromine ion, which has a -1 charge. This leads to the dissociation equation for NH4Br.
What is the dissociation equation for calcium nitrate?
The dissociation equation for calcium nitrate involves calcium, which has a 2+ charge, combining with the nitrate polyatomic ion, which has a -1 charge. This results in the formation of Ca(NO3)2 in the aqueous phase.
How does magnesium iodide dissociate?
Magnesium iodide dissociates by the magnesium ion, which has a 2+ charge, combining with the iodide ion, which has a -1 charge. This leads to the dissociation equation for MgI2.
Can you provide examples of other dissociation equations?
Additional examples of dissociation equations include calcium chloride, sodium carbonate, potassium phosphate, and barium hydroxide. Each equation details the charges and coefficients for the compounds involved in the dissociation process.
