When salt dissolves, it can form either acidic or basic salt solutions. Calcium chloride, CaCl, is a salt that is usedto develop viscosity in polymers, food additives and preservatives, surfactants, and as a pH control in chemicals. On the other hand, sodium amide, NaNH, serves asa catalyst and a nucleophilic reagent in the industrial production of indigo dye. (a) The aqueous salt solution of CaClzis neutral. Explain this statement using the salt dissociation equation in water. The aqueous salt solution of NaNHzis basic. Explain this statement using the salt dissociation equation in water. (b)

Part A The presence of SO, in the atmosphere and the sulfuric acid that it produces result in the phenomenon of acid rain. Uncontaminated rainwater is naturally acidic and generally has a pH value of about 5.6. The pH of acid rain is about 4. This acidity has affected many lakes in northern Europe, the northern United States, and Canada, reducing fish populations and affecting other parts of the ecological network within the lakes and surrounding forests. If the pH of a 2.54-cm rainfall over 4600 km? is 3.50, how many kilograms of sulfuric acid, H2SO4, are present, assuming that it is the only acid contributing to the pH? For sulfuric acid, K, is very large and K, is 0.012. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. • View Available Hint(s) The pH of most natural waters containing living organisms is between 6.5 and 8.5, but freshwater pH values are far below 6.5 in many parts of the continental United States.
