The equilibrium expression for any weak acid can be written as
HA (aq) + H20 (1) = A- (aq) + H;O+ (aq)
1. Write the K value expression based on the equation above (remember that pure liquids are not
included in the K expression). This is given the special symbol Ka.
2. In this experiment, you will be using pH to find [H3O+]. The relationship is [H3O*] = 10-PH .
For a pH of 7.4, find the [H3O+].
A chemical system is set up by placing some solid ammonium chloride in an ammonia solution.
The equilibrium established can be represented as follows:
NH4*(aq) + H2O(e) 2 H30*(aq) + NH3(aq)
The pH of the solution is taken, then a small amount of NaOH(aq) is added and the pH is taken
again.
What can be said about the change in pH for the solution?
The pH significantly increases because a strong base has been added to the solution.
The pH significantly decreases because a strong base has been added to the solution.
There is very little change to the pH of the solution. If anything the pH of the solution
decreases slightly.
There is very little change to the pH of the solution. If anything the pH of the solution
