8-112 Consider an initial 0.040 M hypobromous acid (HOBr) solution at a certain temperature. At equilibrium after partial dissociation, its pH is found to be 5.05. What is the acid ionization constant, Ka, for hypobromous acid at this temperature?
8-62 What is the pH of a buffer solution made by dissolving 0.10 mol of formic acid, HCOOH, and 0.10 mol of sodium formate, HCOONa, in 1 L of water?
Define or illustrate the meaning of the following terms: a. amphoteric b. Kw reaction c. Kw equilibrium constant d. pH e. pOH f. pKw Give the conditions for a neutral aqueous solution at 25C, in terms of [H+], pH, and the relationship between [H+] and [OH]. Do the same for an acidic solution and for a basic solution. As a solution becomes more acidic, what happens to pH, pOH, [H+], and [OH]? As a solution becomes more basic, what happens to pH, pOH, [H+], and [OH]?
For conjugate acidbase pairs, how are Ka and Kb related? Consider the reaction of acetic acid in water CH3CO2H(aq)+H2O(l)CH3CO2(aq)+H3O+(aq) where Ka = 1.8 105 a. Which two bases are competing for the proton? b. Which is the stronger base? c. In light of your answer to part b. why do we classify the acetate ion (CH3CO2) as a weak base? Use an appropriate reaction to justify your answer. In general, as base strength increases, conjugate acid strength decreases. Explain why the conjugate acid of the weak base NH3 is a weak acid. To summarize, the conjugate base of a weak acid is a weak base and the conjugate acid of a weak base is a weak acid (weak gives you weak). Assuming Ka for a monoprotic strong acid is 1 106, calculate Kb for the conjugate base of this strong acid. Why do conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties in water? List the conjugate bases of the six common strong acids. To tie it all together, some instructors have students think of Li+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ as the conjugate acids of the strong bases LiOH, KOH. RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2. Although not technically correct, the conjugate acid strength of these cations is similar to the conjugate base strength of the strong acids. That is, these cations have no acidic properties in water; similarly, the conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties (strong gives you worthless). Fill in the blanks with the correct response. The conjugate base of a weak acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a weak base is a_____acid. The conjugate base of a strong acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a strong base is a_____ acid. (Hint: Weak gives you weak and strong gives you worthless.)
You are asked to calculate the H+ concentration in a solution of NaOH(aq). Because sodium hydroxide is a base, can we say there is no H+. since having H+ would imply that the solution is acidic?
How is acid strength related to the value of Ka? What is the difference between strong acids and weak acids (see Table 13-1)? As the strength of an acid increases, what happens to the strength of the conjugate base? How is base strength related to the value of Kb? As the strength of a base increases, what happens to the strength of the conjugate acid?

(b)basicity: H2O, OH-, H-, CI-. (c) basicity: Mg(OH)2, Si(OH)4, ClO3(OH) (Hint: Formula could also be written as HCIO4). (d) acidity: HF, H2O, NH3, CH4
Amino acids are an important group of compounds. At low pH, both the carboxylic acid group (CO2H) and the amine group (NHR) are protonated. However, as the pH of the solution increases (say, by adding base), the carboxylic acid proton is removed, usually at a pH between 2 and 3. In a middle range of pHs, therefore, the amine group is protonated, but the carboxylic acid group has lost the proton. (This is called a zwitterion.) At more basic pH values, the amine proton is dissociated. What is the pH of a 0.20 M solution of alanine hydrochloride, [NH3CHCH3CO2H]Cl?
