EBK CHEMISTRY: AN ATOMS FIRST APPROACH
- The pH of 0.10 M CH3NH2 (methylamine) is 11.8. When the chloride salt of methylamine, CH3NH3Cl, is added to this solution, does the pH increase or decrease? Explain, using Le Chteliers principle and the common-ion effect.arrow_forwardWeak base B has a pKb of 6.78 and weak acid HA has a pKa of 5.12. a Which is the stronger base, B or A? b Which is the stronger acid, HA or BH+? c Consider the following reaction: B(aq)+HA(aq)BH+(aq)+A(aq) Based on the information about the acid/base strengths for the species in this reaction, is this reaction favored to proceed more to the right or more to the left? Why? d An aqueous solution is made in which the concentration of weak base B is one half the concentration of its acidic salt, BHCl, where BH+ is the conjugate weak add of B. Calculate the pH of the solution. e An aqueous solution is made in which the concentration of weak acid HA twice the concentration of the sodium salt of the weak acid, NaA. Calculate the pH of the solution. f Assume the conjugate pairs B/BH+ and HA/A are capable of being used as color-based end point indicators in acidbase titrations, where B is the base form indicator and BH is the acid form indicator, and HA is the acid form indicator and A is the base form indicator. Select the indicator pair that would be best to use in each of the following titrations: (1) Titration of a strong acid with a strong base. (i) B/BH+ (ii) HA/A (2) Titration of a weak base with a strong acid. (i) B/BH+ (ii) HA/Aarrow_forwardAmino acids are an important group of compounds. At low pH, both the carboxylic acid group (CO2H) and the amine group (NHR) are protonated. However, as the pH of the solution increases (say, by adding base), the carboxylic acid proton is removed, usually at a pH between 2 and 3. In a middle range of pHs, therefore, the amine group is protonated, but the carboxylic acid group has lost the proton. (This is called a zwitterion.) At more basic pH values, the amine proton is dissociated. What is the pH of a 0.20 M solution of alanine hydrochloride, [NH3CHCH3CO2H]Cl?arrow_forward

At the equivalence point, all of the weak acid, 3-methylbutanoic acid, is converted to its weak conjugate base, 3-methylbutanoate. What is the pH at this equivalence point? 6.957 4.770 8.855 5.145 O 9.230arrow_forward

Determine the ratio of the concentrations of acetate ion and acetic acid in this solution. Which species predominates under these conditions? O The acid predominates, because the ratio of [acetate ion]/[acetic acid] = 0.01. O Neither species predominates, because the ratio of [acetate ion]/[acetic acid] = 1.
