- (E) Label each of the following as strong acid, strong base, or neither.arrow_forwardClassify each compound as an Arrhenius acid or an Arrhenius base H2S RbOH Mg(OH)2 H3PO4arrow_forward. A strong acid has a weak conjugate base, whereas a weak acid has a relatively strong conjugate base. Explain.arrow_forward
- Explain the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid.arrow_forwardFor the previous four questions, label each molecule that appears in the question or your answer asstrong acid, strong base, weak acid, or weak base.arrow_forwardFormic acid, HCOOH, is found in ants. Write a balanced chemical equation to represent why an aqueous solution of formic acid is acidic.arrow_forward
- Mark each of the following statements True or False: a. The conjugate base of a strong acid is always a weak base. b. The conjugate acid of a strong base is always a weak acid. c. The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base, and vice versa.arrow_forwardList the following bases in order of their decreasing strength strongest base first: CN,H2O,HSO3,ClO,Cl.arrow_forwardSeveral acids and their respective equilibrium constants are: Which is the strongest acid? Which is the weakest acid? Which acid has the weakest conjugate base? Which acid has the strongest conjugate base?arrow_forward
- Write equations to represent the Brnsted acid behavior for each of the following acids in water solution. Remember to represent the reactions as being reversible. a. HF b. HClO3 c. HClO d. HSarrow_forwardSalicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. Salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the bark of the willow tree). Extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. The acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838. (a) Bath functional groups of salicylic acid ionize in water, with Ka=1.0103 for the—CO2H group and 4.201013 for the -OH group. What is the pH of a saturated solution of the acid (solubility = 1.8 g/L).. (b) Aspirin was discovered as a result of efforts to produce a derivative of salicylic acid that would not be irritating to the stomach lining. Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, CH3CO2C6H4CO2H. The -CO2H functional group is still present, but its acidity is reduced, Ka=3.0104. What is the pH of a solution of aspirin with the same concentration as a saturated solution of salicylic acid (See Part a). (c) Under some conditions, aspirin reacts with water and forms a solution of salicylic acid and acetic acid: CH3CO2C6H4CO2H(aq)+H2O(l)HOC6H4CO2H(aq)+CH3CO2H(aq) i. Which of the acids, salicylic acid or acetic acid, produces more hydronium ions in such a solution? ii. What are the concentrations of molecules and ions in a solution produced by the hydrolysis of 0.50 g of aspirin dissolved in enough water to give 75 mL of solution?arrow_forward1. In the following acid-base reactions, the mechanism of reaction is shown. (i) Label the reactants as acid and base. (ii) Draw structures of the products in the appropriate boxes for conjugate acid and conjugate base. a. b. NH₂ 0:0: 1 Conjugate acid Conjugate acid + Conjugate base Conjugate basearrow_forward
