- Consider the species PO43, HPO42, and H2PO4. Each ion can act as a base in water. Determine the Kb value for each of these species. Which species is the strongest base?arrow_forwardA hydrogen atom in the organic base pyridine, C5H5N, can be substituted by various atoms or groups to give XC5H4N, where X is an atom such as Cl or a group such as CH3. The following table gives Ka values for the conjugate acids of a variety of substituted pyridines. (a) Suppose each conjugate acid is dissolved in sufficient water to give a 0.050 M solution. Which solution would have the highest pH? The lowest pH? (b) Which of the substituted pyridines is the strongest Brnsted base? Which is the weakest Brnsted base?arrow_forwardUse Table 13-3 to help answer the following questions. a. Which is the stronger base, ClO4 or C6H5NH2? b. Which is the stronger base, H2O or C6H5NH2? c. Which is the stronger base, OH or C6H5NH2? d. Which is the stronger base, C6H5NH2 or CH3NH2?arrow_forward

F + H2O HF + OH b. HClO + H2O H3O+ + ClO c. H3PO4 + NH3 NH4+ + H2PO4 d. HNO2 + HS H2S + NO2arrow_forwardEthanol (ethyl alcohol), CH3CH2OH, can act as a BrnstedLowry acid. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as an acid with hydroxide ion, OH. Ethanol can also react as a BrnstedLowry base. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as a base with hydronium ion, H3O+. Explain how you arrived at these chemical equations. Both of these reactions can also be considered Lewis acid base reactions. Explain this.arrow_forward
