- A solution has a pH of 4.5. What would be the color of the solution if each of the following indicators were added? (See Fig. 14-8.) a. methyl orange b. alizarin c. bromcresol green d. phenolphthaleinarrow_forwardWhich of the solutions in Exercise 21 shows the least change in pH upon the addition of acid or base? Explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the indicators in Fig. 14-8 could be used for the titrations in Exercises 57 and 59?arrow_forward
- Compare the percent ionization of the base in Exercise 22a with the percent ionization of the base in Exercise 22d. Explain any differences.arrow_forwardWhen might a pH meter be better than an indicator to determine the end point of an acid-base titration?arrow_forwardCompare the percent dissociation of the acid in Exercise 21a with the percent dissociation of the acid in Exercise 21d. Explain the large difference in percent dissociation of the acid.arrow_forward
- . Write the formulas for three combinations of weak acid and salt that would act as buffered solutions. For each of your combinations, write chemical equations showing how the components of the buffered solution would consume added acid and base.arrow_forwardAt 25 C, a 0.10% aqueous solution of adipic acid, C5H9O2COOH, has a pH of 3.2. A saturated solution of the acid, which contains 1.44 g acid per 100. mL of solution, has a pH = 2.7. Calculate the percent dissociation of adipic acid in each solution.arrow_forwardA solution is prepared from 0.150 mol of formic acid and enough water to make 0.425 L of solution. a Determine the concentrations of H3O+ and HCOO in this solution. b Determine the H3O+ concentration that would be necessary to decrease the HCOO concentration above by a factor of 10. How many milliliters of 2.00 M HCl would be required to produce this solution? Consider that the solution was made by combining the HCl, the HCOOH, and enough water to make 0.425 L of solution. c Qualitatively, how can you account for the differences in the percentage dissociation of formic acid in parts a and b of this problem?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_forwardA quantity of 0.25 M sodium hydroxide is added to a solution containing 0.15 mol of acetic acid. The final volume of the solution is 375 mL and the pH of this solution is 4.45. a What is the molar concentration of the sodium acetate? b How many milliliters of sodium hydroxide were added to the original solution? c What was the original concentration of the acetic acid?arrow_forwardThe pH of Mixtures of Acid, Base, and Salt Solutions a When 0.10 mol of the ionic solid NaX, where X is an unknown anion, is dissolved in enough water to make 1.0 L of solution, the pH of the solution is 9.12. When 0.10 mol of the ionic solid ACl, where A is an unknown cation, is dissolved in enough water to make 1.0 L of solution, the pH of the solution is 7.00. What would be the pH of 1.0 L of solution that contained 0.10 mol of AX? Be sure to document how you arrived at your answer. b In the AX solution prepared above, is there any OH present? If so, compare the [OH] in the solution to the [H3O+]. c From the information presented in part a, calculate Kb for the X(aq) anion and Ka for the conjugate acid of X(aq). d To 1.0 L of solution that contains 0.10 mol of AX, you add 0.025 mol of HCl. How will the pH of this solution compare to that of the solution that contained only NaX? Use chemical reactions as part of your explanation; you do not need to solve for a numerical answer. e Another 1.0 L sample of solution is prepared by mixing 0.10 mol of AX and 0.10 mol of HCl. The pH of the resulting solution is found to be 3.12. Explain why the pH of this solution is 3.12. f Finally, consider a different 1.0-L sample of solution that contains 0.10 mol of AX and 0.1 mol of NaOH. The pH of this solution is found to be 13.00. Explain why the pH of this solution is 13.00. g Some students mistakenly think that a solution that contains 0.10 mol of AX and 0.10 mol of HCl should have a pH of 1.00. Can you come up with a reason why students have this misconception? Write an approach that you would use to help these students understand what they are doing wrong.arrow_forward
