For the following, mix equal volumes of one solution from Group I with one solution from Group II to achieve the indicated pH. Calculate the pH of each solution. Group I: 0.20 M NH4Cl, 0.20 M HCl, 0.20 M C6H5NH3Cl, 0.20 M (C2H5)3NHCl Group II: 0.20 M KOI, 0.20 M NaCN, 0.20 M KOCl, 0.20 M NaNO2 a. the solution with the lowest pH b. the solution with the highest pH c. the solution with the pH closest to 7.00
Composition diagrams, commonly known as alpha plots, are often used to visualize the species in a solution of an acid or base as the pH is varied. The diagram for 0.100 M acetic acid is shown here. The plot shows how the fraction [alpha ()] of acetic acid in solution, =[CH3CO2H][CH3CO2H]+[CH3CO2] changes as the pH increases (blue curve). (The red curve shows how the fraction of acetate ion, CH3CO2, changes as the pH increases.) Alpha plots are another way of viewing the relative concentrations of acetic acid and acetate ion as a strong base is added to a solution of acetic acid in the course of a titration. (a) Explain why the fraction of acetic acid declines and that of acetate ion increases as the pH increases. (b) Which species predominates at a pH of 4, acetic acid or acetate ion? What is the situation at a pH of 6? (c) Consider the point where the two lines cross. The fraction of acetic acid in the solution is 0.5, and so is that of acetate ion. That is, the solution is half acid and half conjugate base; their concentrations are equal. At this point, the graph shows the pH is 4.74. Explain why the pH at this point is 4 74.
Consider the following statements. Write out an example reaction and K expression that is associated with each statement. a. The autoionization of water. b. An acid reacts with water to produce the conjugate base of the acid and the hydronium ion. c. A base reacts with water to produce the conjugate acid of the base and the hydroxide ion.
. For each hydrogen or hydroxide ion concentration listed. calculate the concentration of the complementary ion and the pH and pOH of the solution. a. [H+]=5.72104M b. [OH-]=8.91105Mc. [H+]=2.871012Md. [OH-]=7.22108M
You have a solution of the weak acid HA and add some HCl to it. What are the major species in the solution? What do you need to know to calculate the pH of the solution, and how would you use this information? How does the pH of the solution of just the HA compare with that of the final mixture? Explain.
Each box represents an acid solution at equilibrium. Squares represent H+ ions. Circles represent anions. (Although the anions have different identities in each figure, they are all represented as circles.) Water molecules are not shown. Assume that all solutions have the same volume. (a) Which figure represents the strongest acid? (b) Which figure represents the acid with the smallest Ka? (c) Which figure represents the acid with the lowest pH?
Calculate the pH of each of the following solutions. (a) 10.0 mL of 0.300 M hydrofluoric acid plus 30.0 mL of 0.100 M sodium hydroxide (b) 100.0 mL of 0.250 M ammonia plus 50.0 mL of 0.100 M hydrochloric acid (c) 25.0 mL of 0.200 M sulfuric acid plus 50.0 mL of 0.400 M sodium hydroxide
Two students were asked to determine the Kb of an unknown base. They were given a bottle with a solution in it. The bottle was labeled aqueous solution of a monoprotic strong acid. They were also given a pH meter, a buret, and an appropriate indicator. They reported the following data: volume of acid required for neutralization = 21.0 mL pH after 7.00 mL of strong acid added = 8.95 Use the students' data to determme the Kb of the unknown base.
A quantity of 0.25 M sodium hydroxide is added to a solution containing 0.15 mol of acetic acid. The final volume of the solution is 375 mL and the pH of this solution is 4.45. a What is the molar concentration of the sodium acetate? b How many milliliters of sodium hydroxide were added to the original solution? c What was the original concentration of the acetic acid?
