- (a) What is the pH of a 0.105 M HCl solution? (b) What is the hydronium ion concentration in a solution with a pH of 2.56? Is the solution acidic or basic? (c) A solution has a pH of 9.67. What is the hydronium ion concentration in the solution? Is the solution acidic or basic? (d) A 10.0-mL sample of 2.56 M HCl is diluted with water to 250. mL What is the pH of the dilute solution?arrow_forward12.62 Write the formula of the conjugate acid of each of the following bases, (a) OH-, (b) NHj, (c) CHjNHt, (d) HPO/-, (e) CO.,2’arrow_forwardStudents are often surprised to learn that organic acids, such as acetic acid, contain OH groups. Actually, all oxyacids contain hydroxyl groups. Sulfuric acid, usually written as H2SO4, has the structural formula SO2(OH)2, where S is the central atom. Identify the acids whose structural formulas are shown below. Why do they behave as acids, while NaOH and KOH are bases? a. SO(OH)2 b. ClO2(OH) c. HPO(OH)2arrow_forward
- Two strategies are also followed when solving for the pH of a base in water. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a strong base in water? List the strong bases mentioned in the text that should be committed to memory. Why is calculating the pH of Ca(OH)2 solutions a little more difficult than calculating the pH of NaOH solutions? Most bases are weak bases. The presence of what element most commonly results in basic properties for an organic compound? What is present on this element in compounds that allows it to accept a proton? Table 13-3 and Appendix 5 of the text list Kb values for some weak bases. What strategy is used to solve for the pH of a weak base in water? What assumptions are made when solving for the pH of weak base solutions? If the 5% rule fails, how do you calculate the pH of a weak base in water?arrow_forwardFor each of the following pairs of solutions, indicate whether the first listed solution has a higher or lower pH than the second listed solution. a. 1.0 M NaOH and 1.0 M HCl b. 1.0 M HNO3 and 0.10 M HNO3 c. 0.10 M HClO4 and 0.10 M HCN d. [H3O+] = 3.3 103 and [H3O+] = 9.3 103arrow_forwardWrite equations that show H2PO4- acting both as an acid and as a base.arrow_forward

- Classify each of the following as a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base in aqueous solution. a. HNO2 b. HNO3 c. CH3NH2 d. NaOH e. NH3 f. HF g. h. Ca(OH)2 i. H2SO4arrow_forward. Strong buses are bases that completely ionize in water to produce hydroxide ion, OH-. The strong bases include the hydroxides of the Group I elements. For example, if 1.0 mole of NaOH is dissolved per liter, the concentration of OH ion is 1.0 M. Calculate the [OH-], pOH, and pH for each of the following strong base solutions. a. 1.10 M NaOH b. 2.0104M KOH c. 6.2103M CsOH d. 0.0001 M NaOHarrow_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_forward
