Question
Classify the following compounds, as used in aqueous chemistry. That is if thrown in water what do you get. The following is a list of possibilities, for each classification. There may be more that I haven’t thought of.
Possibilites. (quite often you will have more than one classification possible for one compound)
Strong Acid (SA) Weak acid (WA) Soluble salt (SS)
Strong Base (SB) Weak Base (WB) Slightly soluble salt (IS)
Diprotic Acid (DA) Diprotic base (DB)
Triprotic acid (TA) Triprotic base (TP)
Neutral Compound (N) (means it has no acidic or basic characteristics.)

Explanation / Answer
((CH3CH2)2NH2)2SO4 = Slightly soluble salt (IS)
KBr = Soluble salt (SS)
KNO2 = Soluble salt (SS)
CH3CH2 CH2CH2COORb = Weak acid (WA)
Mg(OH)2 = Strong Base (SB)
