Chapter 13, Problem 6ALQ

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The situation of equilibrium of the mixture of $\text{HA}$ and $\text{HCl}$, major species in a mixture of weak acid HA and $\text{HCl}$, $K_{\text{a}}$ value calculation of each acid, order for strong base among given compounds.

Concept introduction: Strong acids dissociate completely and rapidly in aqueous medium while weak acids dissociates slowly and up to a certain level only. A strong base is the one having the potential to accept a proton rapidly.

To determine: The situation at equilibrium of the mixture of $\text{HA}\text{and}\text{HCl}$.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The situation of equilibrium of the mixture of $\text{HA}$ and $\text{HCl}$, major species in a mixture of weak acid HA and $\text{HCl}$, $K_{\text{a}}$ value calculation of each acid, order for strong base among given compounds.

Concept introduction: Strong acids dissociate completely and rapidly in aqueous medium while weak acids dissociates slowly and up to a certain level only. A strong base is the one having the potential to accept a proton rapidly.

To determine:  the major species in a mixture of weak acid HA and $\text{HCl}$

(c)

Interpretation Introduction
