- Does the pH of the solution increase, decrease, or stay the same when you (a) add solid sodium oxalate, Na2C2O4, to 50.0 mL of 0.015 M oxalic acid, H2C2O4? (b) add solid ammonium chloride to 75 mL of 0.016 M HCl? (c) add 20.0 g of NaCl to 1.0 L of 0.10 M sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2?arrow_forwardYou want to make a buffer with a pH of 10.00 from NH4+/NH3. (a) What must the [ NH4+ ]/[ NH3 ]ratio be? (b) How many moles of NH4Cl must be added to 465 mL of an aqueous solution of 1.24 M NH3 to give this pH? (c) How many milliliters of 0.236 M NH3 must be added to 2.08 g of NH4Cl to give this pH? (d) What volume of 0.499 M NH3 must be added to 395 mL, of 0.109 M NH4Cl to give this pH?arrow_forwardA solution is prepared by dissolving 0.350 g of benzoic acid, HC7H5O2, in water to make 100.0 mL of solution. A 30.00-mL sample of the solution is titrated with 0.272 M KOH. Calculate the pH of the solution (a) before titration. (b) halfway to the equivalence point. (c) at the equivalence point.arrow_forward
- A buffer is prepared by dissolving 0.0250 mol of sodium nitrite, NaNO2, in 250.0 mL of 0.0410 M nitrous acid, HNO2. Assume no volume change after HNO2 is dissolved. Calculate the pH of this buffer.arrow_forwardDoes the pH of the solution increase, decrease, or stay the same when you (a) Add solid sodium oxalate, Na2C2O4, to 50.0 mL of 0.015-M oxalic acid? (b) Add solid ammonium chloride to 100. mL of 0.016-M HCl? (c) Add 20.0 g NaCl to 1.0 L of 0.012-M sodium acetate, NaCH3COO?arrow_forwardThe simplest amino acid is glycine, H2NCH2CO2H. The common feature of amino acids is that they contain the functional groups: an amine group, -NH2, and a carboxylic acid group, -CO2H. An amino acid can function as either an acid or a base. For glycine, the acid strength of the carboxyl group is about the same as that of acetic acid. CH3CO2H, and the base strength of the amino group is slightly greater than that of ammonia, NH3. (a) Write the Lewis structures of the ions that form when glycine is dissolved in 1 M HCl and in 1 M KOH. (b) Write the Lewis structure of glycine when this amino acid is dissolved in water. (Hint: Consider the relative base strengths of the -NH2 and -CO2- groups.)arrow_forward

(c) What quantity of 2.0 M NaOH or 2.0 M HCl must be added to the buffer to change the pH to 4.00?arrow_forwardA chemistry graduate student is given 100. mL of a 0.90M trimethylamine ((CH3)N) solution. Trimethylamine is a weak base with K₁=7.4 × 104. f (CH3)2NHCl should the student dissolve in the (CH3)2N solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 10.66? mass of You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the (CH3)2NHC1 is dissolved in it.
