Complete the equation for the reaction between each Lewis acid-base pair. In each equation, label which starting material is the Lewis acid and which is the Lewis base; use curved arrows to show the flow of electrons in each reaction. In doing this problem, it is essential that you show valence electrons for all atoms participating in each reaction. (a) (b) (c) (d)
Gastric juice, the digestive ?uid produced in the stomach, contains hydrochloric acid, HCl, Milk of Magnesia, a suspension of solid Mg(OH)2 in an aqueous medium, is sometimes used to neutralize-excess stomach acid. Write a complete balanced equation for the neutralization reaction, and identify the conjugate acid—base pairs.
As we shall see in Chapter 19, hydrogens on a carbon adjacent to a carbonyl group are far more acidic than those not adjacent to a carbonyl group. The anion derived from acetone, for example, is more stable than is the anion derived from ethane. Account for the greater stability of the anion from acetone.
Answer true or false to the following statements about the mechanism of acid-base reactions. (a) The acid and base must encounter each other by a collision in order for the proton to transfer. (b) All collisions between acids and bases result in proton transfer. (c) During an acid-base reaction the lone pair on the base fills the A-H antibonding sigma orbital.
Consider the following four biological solutions: (1) bile, pH 8.0, (2) blood, pH 7.4, (3) urine, pH 6.0, and (4) gastric juice, pH 1.6. a. Which solution has the lowest [H3O+]? b. Which solution has the lowest [OH]? c. List the solutions in order of decreasing acidity. d. List the solutions in order of increasing basicity.
Salicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. Salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the bark of the willow tree). Extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. The acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838. (a) Bath functional groups of salicylic acid ionize in water, with Ka=1.0103 for the—CO2H group and 4.201013 for the -OH group. What is the pH of a saturated solution of the acid (solubility = 1.8 g/L).. (b) Aspirin was discovered as a result of efforts to produce a derivative of salicylic acid that would not be irritating to the stomach lining. Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, CH3CO2C6H4CO2H. The -CO2H functional group is still present, but its acidity is reduced, Ka=3.0104. What is the pH of a solution of aspirin with the same concentration as a saturated solution of salicylic acid (See Part a). (c) Under some conditions, aspirin reacts with water and forms a solution of salicylic acid and acetic acid: CH3CO2C6H4CO2H(aq)+H2O(l)HOC6H4CO2H(aq)+CH3CO2H(aq) i. Which of the acids, salicylic acid or acetic acid, produces more hydronium ions in such a solution? ii. What are the concentrations of molecules and ions in a solution produced by the hydrolysis of 0.50 g of aspirin dissolved in enough water to give 75 mL of solution?
