- Indicate whether each of the following samples is acidic, basic, or neutral. a. butter, pH 6.1 b. lemon juice, pH 2.2 c. peach, pH 3.5 d. milk of magnesia, pH 10.5arrow_forwardTwo students were asked to determine the Kb of an unknown base. They were given a bottle with a solution in it. The bottle was labeled aqueous solution of a monoprotic strong acid. They were also given a pH meter, a buret, and an appropriate indicator. They reported the following data: volume of acid required for neutralization = 21.0 mL pH after 7.00 mL of strong acid added = 8.95 Use the students' data to determme the Kb of the unknown base.arrow_forwardConsider 50.0 mL of a solution of weak acid HA (Ka = 1.00 106), which has a pH of 4.000. What volume of water must be added to make the pH = 5.000?arrow_forward
- For oxyacids, how does acid strength depend on a. the strength of the bond to the acidic hydrogen atom? b. the electronegativity of the element bonded to the oxygen atom that bears the acidic hydrogen? c. the number of oxygen atoms? How does the strength of a conjugate base depend on these factors? What type of solution forms when a nonmetal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide. What type of solution forms when a metal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide.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_forwardUsing the diagrams shown in Problem 10-37, which of the four acids is the weakest acid?arrow_forward
- What is the pH of a solution obtained by mixing 235 mL of NaOH with a pH of 11.57 and 316 mL of Sr(OH)2 with a pH of 12.09? Assume that volumes are additive.arrow_forwardConsider a 0.67-M solution of C2H5NH2 (Kb = 5.6 104). a. Which of the following are major species in the solution? i. C2H5NH2 ii. H+ iii. OH iv. H2O v. C2H5NH3+ b. Calculate the pH of this solution.arrow_forwardAre solutions of the following salts acidic, basic, or neutral? For those that are not neutral, write balanced equations for the reactions causing the solution to be acidic or basic. The relevant Ka, and Kb values are found in Tables 13-2 and 13-3. a. Sr(NO3)2 b. NH4C2H3O2 c. CH3NH3Cl d. C6H5NH3ClO2 e. NH4F f. CH3NH3CNarrow_forward
- Two strategies are followed when solving for the pH of an acid in water. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a strong acid in water? What major assumptions are made when solving strong acid problems? The best way to recognize strong acids is to memorize them. List the six common strong acids (the two not listed in the text are HBr and HI). Most acids, by contrast, are weak acids. When solving for the pH of a weak acid in water, you must have the Ka value. List two places in this text that provide Ka values for weak acids. You can utilize these tables to help you recognize weak acids. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a weak acid in water? What assumptions are generally made? What is the 5% rule? If the 5% rule fails, how do you calculate the pH of a weak acid in water?arrow_forwardAre solutions of the following salts acidic, basic, or neutral? For those that are not neutral, write balanced chemical equations for the reactions causing the solution to be acidic or basic. The relevant Ka and Kb values are found in Tables 13-2 and 13-3. a. NaNO3 b. NaNO2 c. C5H5NHClO4 d. NH4NO2 e. KOCl f. NH4OClarrow_forwardThe pH of a 0.10-M solution of caffeine is 11.16.
