Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The two different halogen substituted molecules are given in the statement and which is one stronger acidic character it should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Strong acid: Acid solutions contains hydrigen ions, the higher concentration of hydrogen ions, the lower
pKa: It is introduced as an index to express the acidity of weak acids, where
An acid-base reaction reaction is represented as written below.
The base will take up the proton from acid and form its conjugate acid and simultaneously acid will form its conjugate base. The equilibrium will be forward or backward can be determined by using the dissociation constants

Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- Write the Lewis structures of the reactants and product of each of the following equations, and identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base in each: (a) CS2+SHHCS3 (b) BF3+FBF4 (c) I+SnI2SnI3 (d) Al(OH)3+OHAl(OH)4 (e) F+SO3SFO3arrow_forwardHypofluorous acid, HOF, is known, but fluorous acid, HOFO, is not. Which acid would you expect to be stronger?arrow_forwardA student prepares 455 mL of a KOH solution, but neglects to write down the mass of KOH added. His TA suggests that he take the pH of the solution. The pH is 13.33. How many grams of KOH were added?arrow_forward
- The sec-butyl cation can react as both a Brnsted-Lowry acid (a proton donor) and a Lewis acid (an electron pair acceptor) in the presence of a watersulfuric acid mixture. In each case, however, the product is different. The two reactions are as follows: (a) In which reaction(s) does this cation react as a Lewis acid? In which reaction(s) does it react as a Brnsted-Lowry acid? (b) Write Lewis structures for reactants and products and show by the use of curved arrows how each reaction occurs.arrow_forwardRank the compounds in each of the following groups in order of increasing acidity or basicity, as indicated, and explain the order you assign. (a) acidity: HCI, HBr, HI. (b)basicity: H2O, OH-, H-, CI-. (c) basicity: Mg(OH)2, Si(OH)4, ClO3(OH) (Hint: Formula could also be written as HCIO4). (d) acidity: HF, H2O, NH3, CH4arrow_forwardThe weak base, CIO (hypochlorite ion), is used in the form of NaCIO as a disinfectant in swimming pools and water treatment plants. What are the concentrations of HCIO and OH and the pH of a 0.015 M solution of NaCIO?arrow_forward
- What are the major species in solution after NaHSO4 is dissolved in water? What happens to the pH of the solution as more NaHSO4 is added? Why? Would the results vary if baking soda (NaHCO3) were used instead?arrow_forwardThe structure of ethylene diamine is illustrated in study question 76. Is this compound a Brnsted acid, a Brnsted base, a Lewis acid or a Lewis base, or some combination of these.arrow_forwardGive detailed Solution with explanation neededarrow_forward
- The pH of a 0.1 M solution of a monobasic acid P is 1.0 while the pH of a 0.2 M solution of another monobasic acid Q is 3.4 .(a) Which, P or Q, is a more concentrated solution?(b) Which, P or Q, is a stronger acid?(c) Which, P or Q, will react faster when a piece of magnesium is dropped to them? (d) Which, P or Q, contains more H+(aq) ions in 50 cm3solution?(e) Which, P or Q or both, can be neutralized by an alkali?(f) Name an instrument to measure the pH of the above solutions.(g) Is P a strong acid? Explain your answer.arrow_forward- The weak acid HA is 2% ionized (dissociated) in a 0.20 M solution. (a) What is K, for this acid?
