How do the acids and bases CH3COOH + NaOH, H2SO4 + KOH and NH3 + HBr react?

The chemicals you have provided are examples of an acid
reacting with a base.


An acid AH reacts with a base BOH to
give a salt AB and water if there is an excess of OH- and H+ ions which can react with
each other.


CH3COOH is an organic acid, it reacts with NaOH
in the following chemical reaction:


CH3COOH + NaOH
-> CH3COONa + H2O


H2SO4 is an acid and KOH is a
base. They react in the following chemical reaction:


H2SO4
+ 2KOH -> K2SO4 + 2H2O


In the reaction between NH3
and HBr there is no formation of H2O, only the salt is
formed.


NH3 + HBr -> NH4Br

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
