- Solve the following Given that pH = 13, 7.5 , 7.4 find: (a) pOH (b) H3O+ (c) OH-arrow_forwardIdentify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in each equation:arrow_forwardFor each conjugate acid-base pair, identify the first species as an acid or a base and the second species as its conjugate acid or base. In addition, draw Lewis structures for each species, showing all valence electrons and any formal charge. (a) HCOOH HCOO-arrow_forward
- Which is the stronger base, (CH3)3N or H2BO3− and why?arrow_forwardBenzoic acid (C6H5COOH) and aniline (C6H5NH2) areboth derivatives of benzene. Benzoic acid is an acid withKa = 6.3 x10-5 and aniline is a base with Ka = 4.3 x10-10. (a) What are the conjugate base of benzoic acid andthe conjugate acid of aniline? (b) Anilinium chloride(C6H5NH3Cl) is a strong electrolyte that dissociates intoanilinium ions (C6H5NH3+) and chloride ions. Which willbe more acidic, a 0.10 M solution of benzoic acid or a 0.10M solution of anilinium chloride? (c) What is the value ofthe equilibrium constant for the following equilibrium?C6H5COOH(aq) + C6H5NH2(aq) ⇌ C6H5COO-(aq) + C6H5NH3+(aq)arrow_forwardConsider two acids: HCO2H (formic acid, pKa = 3.8) and pivalic acid [(CH3)3CCO,H, pK = 5.0]. (a) Which acid has the larger K? (b) Which acid is the stronger acid? (c) Which acid forms the stronger conjugate base? (d) When each acid is dissolved in water, for which acid does the equilibrium lie further to the right? %3D The pKa values in Table 2.1 span a large range (-7 to 50). The pK, scale is logarithmic. small difference in pK, translates into a large numerical difference, For example, the diffe between the pK, of NH3 (38) and CH2=CH, (44) is six pKa units. This means that NH, is one million times more acidic than CH,=CH,.arrow_forward

(b)Calculate the pH of the above solution.arrow_forwardGroup 15 elements react with hydrogen to form hydrides with a general formula of EH3 (where E = N, P, As, Sb or Bi) and they are Lewis base. (i) Briefly discuss why Group 15 hydrides are Lewis base. (ii) Arrange the strength of Lewis basicity of EH3 in decreasing trend. Explain your answer.arrow_forwardConsider the molecular models shown here, where X representsa halogen atom. (a) If X is the same atom in bothmolecules, which molecule will be more acidic? (b) Doesthe acidity of each molecule increase or decrease as theelectronegativity of the atom X increases?arrow_forward
