Edexcel CHEMISTRY DOUBTS!!!!

[NotAbod]

can someone PLZZZZ tell me what  happens when zinc hydroxide reacts with H+ ions?cuz i know ZN(OH)2 is amphoteric and reacts with OH- ions to give ZN(OH)4 but what does it give when it reacts with H+ ions?

Yes, water. You get salt too.

Yes, water. You get salt too.
ya,but which salt would u get???

[astarmathsandphysics]

I can only make it balance if the result s ZnO
I don't know if this is a salt.

[NotAbod]

Depends on the acid you're using. It's for example HCl then your salt is ZnCl2.
If the acid is H3PO4, your salt is Zn3(PO4)2

By the way, is that an mcq?

[conquerpro]

yup its an mcq
By the way i have another doubt.when 4 ligands attack a transition metal cation we know that the shape is either tetrahedral or square planar.but how do we know WHEN its square planar and when its tetrahedral?

[NotAbod]

No idea, sorry.

can sum1 plzz say confirm that if they ask us to write an ionic equation will they say whether the compound will be aqueous or do we need to determine ourselves.this is for edexcel chem 1
