- An important component of blood is the buffer combination of bicarbonate ion and carbonic acid. Consider blood with a pH of 7.42. a What is the ratio of [H2CO3] to [HCO3]? b What does the pH become if 15% of the bicarbonate ions are converted to carbonic acid? c What does the pH become if 25% of the carbonic acid molecules are converted to bicarbonate ions?arrow_forwardTwo samples of 1.00 M HCl of equivalent volumes are prepared. One sample is titrated to the equivalence point with a 1.00 M solution of sodium hydroxide, while the other sample is titrated to the equivalence point with a 1.00 M solution of calcium hydroxide. a Compare the volumes of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide required to reach the equivalence point for each titration. b Determine the pH of each solution halfway to the equivalence point. c Determine the pH of each solution at the equivalence point.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the dissociation into ions of each of the following soluble salts in aqueous solution. a. CaS b. BeSO4 c. MgCl2 d. NaC2H3O2arrow_forward
- A solution made up of 1.0 M NH3 and 0.50 M (NH4)2SO4 has a pH of 9.26. a Write the net ionic equation that represents the reaction of this solution with a strong acid. b Write the net ionic equation that represents the reaction of this solution with a strong base. c To 100. mL of this solution, 10.0 mL of 1.00 M HCl is added. How many moles of NH3 and NH4+ are present in the reaction system before and after the addition of the HCl? What is the pH of the resulting solution? d Why did the pH change only slightly upon the addition of HCl?arrow_forwardA 2.500-g sample of a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium chloride is dissolved in 25.00 mL of 0.798 M HCl. Some acid remains after the treatment of the sample. a Write the net ionic equation for the complete reaction of sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid b If 28.7 mL of 0.108 M NaOH were required to titrate the excess hydrochloric acid, how many moles of sodium carbonate were present in the original sample? c What is the percent composition of the original sample?arrow_forwardExplain why barium fluoride dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid but is insoluble in water.arrow_forward
- A friend asks the following: Consider a buffered solution made up of the weak acid HA and its salt NaA. If a strong base like NaOH is added, the HA reacts with the OH to form A. Thus the amount of acid (HA) is decreased, and the amount of base (A) is increased. Analogously, adding HCI to the buffered solution forms more of the acid (HA) by reacting with the base (A). Thus how can we claim that a buffered solution resists changes in the pH of the solution? How would you explain buffering to this friend?arrow_forwardA quantity of 0.15 M hydrochloric acid is added to a solution containing 0.10 mol of sodium acetate. Some of the sodium acetate is converted to acetic acid, resulting in a final volume of 650 mL of solution. The pH of the final solution is 4.56. a What is the molar concentration of the acetic acid? b How many milliliters of hydrochloric acid were added to the original solution? c What was the original concentration of the sodium acetate?arrow_forwardThe three flasks shown below depict the titration of an aqueous NaOH solution with HCl at different points. One represents the titration prior to the equivalence point, another represents the titration at the equivalence point, and the other represents the titration past the equivalence point. (Sodium ions and solvent water molecules have been omitted for clarity.) a Write the balanced chemical equation for the titration. b Label each of the beakers shown to indicate which point in the titration they represent. c For each solution, indicate whether you expect it to be acidic, basic, or neutral.arrow_forward
- What is an acidbase indicator? Define the equivalence (stoichiometric) point and the end point of a titration. Why should you choose an indicator so that the two points coincide? Do the pH values of the two points have to be within 0.01 pH unit of each other? Explain.arrow_forwardStrong Acids, Weak Acids, and pH Two 0.10-mol samples of the hypothetical monoprotic acids HA(aq) and HB(aq) are used to prepare 1.0-L stock solutions of each acid. a Write the chemical reactions for these acids in water. What are the concentrations of the two acid solutions? b One of these acids is a strong acid, and one is weak. What could you measure that would tell you which acid was strong and which was weak? c Say that the HA(aq) solution has a pH of 3.7. Is this the stronger of the two acids? How did you arrive at your answer? d What is the concentration of A(aq) in the HA solution described in part c? e If HB(aq) is a strong acid, what is the hydronium-ion concentration? f In the solution of HB(aq), which of the following would you expect to be in the greatest concentration: H3O+(aq), B(aq), HB(aq), or OH(aq)? How did you decide? g In the solution of HA(aq), which of the following would you expect to be in the greatest concentration: H3O+(aq), A+(aq), HA(aq), or OH(aq)? How did you decide? h Say you add 1.0 L of pure water to a solution of HB. Would this water addition make the solution more acidic, make it less acidic, or not change the acidity of the original solution? Be sure to fully justify your answer. i You prepare a 1.0-L solution of HA. You then take a 200-mL sample of this solution and place it into a separate container. Would this 200 mL sample be more acidic, be less acidic, or have the same acidity as the original 1.0-L solution of HA(aq)? Be sure to support your answer.arrow_forwardFollow the directions of Question 64. Consider two beakers: Beaker A has a weak acid(K a=1105). Beaker B has HCI. The volume and molarity of each acid in the beakers are the same. Both acids are to be titrated with a 0.1 M solution of NaOH. (a) Before titration starts (at zero time), the pH of the solution in Beaker A is the pH of the solution in Beaker B. (b) At half-neutralization (halfway to the equivalence point), the pH of the solution in Beaker A the pH of the solution in Beaker B. (c) When each solution has reached its equivalence point, the pH of the solution in Beaker A the pH of the solution in Beaker B. (d) At the equivalence point, the volume of NaOH used to titrate HCI in Beaker B the volume of NaOH used to titrate the weak acid in Beaker A.arrow_forward
