Chapter 13, Problem 143QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given statement ‘ CH3CO2H is the strongest acid and HF is the most concentrated of the given acids’ is correct or not.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The given acids are 0.5 M CH3CO2H and 0.10 M HF and their Ka values are 1.8×105 and 6.3×104 , respectively.

Ka is defined as the equilibrium constant, when an acid ionizes in water. Ka is called acid ionization constant or acid dissociation constant. With the help of Ka values, the strength of an acid can be determined. More the value of Ka , stronger the acid.

CH3CO2H is not the strongest acid as its Ka value is less than that of HF . The HF solution is not the most concentrated as its concentration is less than that of the CH3CO2H solution.

Thus, the given statement is an incorrect statement.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given statement ‘ CH3CO2H is the strongest acid and HF is the most concentrated of the given acids’ is correct or not.

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The given acids are 0.5 M CH3CO2H and 0.20 M HOCl and their Ka values are 1.8×105 and 4.0×108 , respectively.

CH3CO2H is not the strongest acid as its Ka value is less than that of HOCl . The HOCl solution is not the most concentrated as its concentration is less than that of the CH3CO2H solution.

Thus, the given statement is an incorrect statement.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given statement ‘ HOCl is the strongest acid and the most concentrated is CH3CO2H of the given acids’ is correct or not.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The given acids are 0.20 M HOCl and 0.5 M CH3CO2H and their Ka values are 4.0×108 and 1.8×105 , respectively.

HOCl is not the strongest acid as its Ka value is less than that of CH3CO2H . The CH3CO2H solution is the most concentrated as its concentrated is the maximum of the given acids.

Thus, the given statement is an incorrect statement.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The statement ‘ HF is the strongest acid and the most concentrated acid of the given acids’ is correct or not.

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The given acid is 0.10 M HF which has Ka value of 6.3×104 .

HF is the strongest acid as its Ka value is more than that of CH3CO2H and HOCl . The HF solution is not the most concentrated as its concentration is less than that of the CH3CO2H solution.

Thus, the given statement is an incorrect statement.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The statement ‘ HF is the sstrongest acid and the most concentrated acid is CH3CO2H ’ is correct or not.

(e)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The given acids are 0.5 M CH3CO2H and 0.10 M HF and their Ka values are 1.8×105 and 6.3×104 , respectively.

HF is the strongest acid as its Ka value is more than that of CH3CO2H and HOCl . The CH3CO2H solution is the most concentrated as its concentrated is the maximum of the given acids.

The given statement is the correct statement.
