2. (a) (0.5 point) If the average human contains 2.9 liters of blood having a pH of 7.33. Calculate the number of moles of H3O* at 25 °C. (Report the correct number of significant figures in your final answers).

How many significant figures are there in the following numbers: 10.78, 6.78, 0.78? If these were pH values, to how many significant figures can you express the [H+]? Explain any discrepancies between your answers to the two questions.

For oxyacids, how does acid strength depend on a. the strength of the bond to the acidic hydrogen atom? b. the electronegativity of the element bonded to the oxygen atom that bears the acidic hydrogen? c. the number of oxygen atoms? How does the strength of a conjugate base depend on these factors? What type of solution forms when a nonmetal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide. What type of solution forms when a metal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide.

Consider two weak acids, HA (MM=138g/mol)and HB (MM=72.0g/mol). A solution consisting of 11.0 g of HA in 745 mL has the same pH as a solution made up of 5.00 g of HB in 525 mL. Which of the two acids is stronger? Justify your answer by an appropriate calculation.
