Question 21 • Chemistry

Which is an example of dissociation?

Answer
A
NH sub 3 plus cap h sub 2 cap o rightarrow NH sub 4 raised to the plus plus OH raised to the negative power power
B
Ca sub 3 open paren PO sub 4 close paren sub 2 rightarrow 3 Ca raised to the 2 plus power plus 2 PO sub 4 raised to the 3 minus power
C
SO sub 2 plus cap h sub 2 cap o rightarrow HSO sub 3 raised to the negative plus cap h raised to the plus power power
D
cap c plus cap o sub 2 rightarrow CO sub 2

Explanation

Dissociation is the separation of an ionic compound into its ions, typically when it dissolves in water. In choice B, calcium phosphate separates into calcium ions, Ca²⁺, and phosphate ions, PO₄³⁻. The other choices show substances reacting with water or combining to form a compound, rather than an ionic compound splitting into its ions.
