PROBLEM: The molecular scenes below represent samples of four HA/A- buffers. (HA is RED and GREEN, A- is GREEN, and other ions and water are not shown.) Assume that the volume of the solutions (the samples) is the same. Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Sample 4 (a) Which buffer has the highest pH? (b) Which buffer has the greatest capacity? (c) Should we add a small amount of concentrated strong acid or strong base to convert sample 1 to sample 2 (assuming no volume changes)?

Select the correct answers: “Ocean acidification is a process that occurs when atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean and is subsequently converted into (methane; carbonic acid; carbonate ions; sodium carbonite) . This then causes the pH of the ocean to (increase; decrease; fractionate; multiply) and become more acidic.”
Predicting acid or base strength from the conjugate Order these chemical species by increasing pH of an 0.1 M aqueous solution of each. That is, imagine making an 0.1 M solution of each species. Select I next to the species that makes the solution with the lowest pH. Select 2 next to the species that makes the solution with the next higher pH, and so on. Notice that some of the rankings have been filled in for you already. Also notice that water is on the list. For that particular case, just compare the pH of pure water to the pH of the other solutions. Note for advanced students: for all charged species, you may assume the necessary counterions act as neither acids nor bases. 2 atric(most common) Other place species W 10 HCIO HIO HIO3 10, H₂O* CIO Explanation H₂O с relative pH of 0.1 M aqueous solution.

Suppose you wanted to increase the buffer capacity of the formic acid/sodium formatebuffer solution above. What would you do? Explain your answer.
Hydrochloric acid in the stomach is a very strong acid compared to ethanoic acid that is found in citrus fruits. Explain (with reference to formation of hydronium ions) why hydrochloric acid has a much lower pH compared to ethanoic acid. You should support this answer with accompanying ionic equations.
please help!! In the previous step, you determined there is 0.091 M excess hydroxide in the solution. What is the pH of the solution?
Calculate the pH of 25 mL of 0.175 M CH3COOH with 30 mL of water added after the addition of 43.75 mL of 0.1 M NaOH (equivalence). Show work, please. This pertains to the weak acid strong base exercise.
i believe its Kc to determine the concentration if the species in the reaction.
Learning Goal: Another way to express acid strength is by using pk To understand the relation between the strength of an acid or a base and its pK, and pK, values. The degree to which a weak acid dissociates in solution is given by its acid-ionization constant, K. For the generic weak acid. HA. pk. = log K. Another way to express base strength is by using pk log K HA(ag) A (aq) + H'(aq) and the acid-ionization constant is given by Part A IA H HA K. Similarty, the degree to which a weak base reacts with HO in solution is given by its base-ionization constant, K. For the generic weak base, B. A new potential heart medicine, code named X-281, is being tested by a pharmaceutical company. Pharma pill. As a research technician at Pharma-pil you are told that X-281 is a monoprotic weak acid, but because of security concerns, the actual chemical formula must remain top secret. The company is Interested in the drug's K, value because only the dissociated form of the chemical is active in…
PROBLEM 3: You are asked to prepare a pH = 3.75 buffer solution starting from 1.25 L of a 1.00 M solution of hydrofluoric acid (HF) and any amount you need of sodium fluoride (NaF). (a) What is the pH of the hydrofluoric acid solution prior to adding sodium fluoride? (b) How many grams of sodium fluoride should be added to prepare the buffer solution? (c) Solve using HHE and common ion and compare your results.
If a solution has a hydroxide ion concentration of 1x10-10, the pH of the solution is? Show work.
Identifying the major species in weak acid or weak base... The preparations of two aqueous solutions are described in the table below. For each solution, write the chemical formulas of the major species present at equilibrium. You can leave out water itself. Write the chemical formulas of the species that will act as acids in the 'acids' row, the formulas of the species that will act as bases in the 'bases' row, and the formulas of the species that will act as neither acids nor bases in the 'other' row. You will find it useful to keep in mind that HCN is a weak acid. acids: 1 mol of NaOH is added to 1.0 L of a 0.7M HCN bases: O solution. other: O 0.3 mol of NaOH is added to acids: 1.0 L of a solution that is bases: O 0.8M in both HCN and NaCN. O other:
