Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
For solution of same concentration as acid strength increases, the change in the [H+] has to be described.
Concept Introduction :
For an acidic solution, the pH value is less than 7 due to large concentration of hydrogen ion/s. It is less than for the basic solution having less concentration of hydrogen ions.
(b)
Interpretation:
For solution of same concentration, as acid strength increases, the change in pH has to be described.

- Blood is buffered mainly by the HCO3 H2CO3 buffer system. The normal pH of blood is 7.40. (a) Calculate the [ H2CO3 ]/[ HCO3 ] ratio. (b) What does the pH become if 15% of the HCO3 ions are converted toH2CO3? (c) What does the pH become if 15% of the H2CO3 molecules converted to HCO3 ions?arrow_forwardA substance that functions to prevent rapid, drastic changes in the pH of a body fluid by changing strong acids and bases into weak acids and bases is called an: a.salt. b.buffer. c.enzyme. d.coenzyme.arrow_forwardA solution is made by dissolving 15.0 g sodium hydroxide in approximately 450 mL water. The solution becomes quite warm, but after it is allowed to return to room temperature, water is added to bring the volume to 500.0 mL of solution. (a) Calculate the pH and pOH in the final solution. (b) Why would we wait for it to return to room temperature? (c) If the mass of the water used to initially dissolve the sodium hydroxide were exactly 450 g and the temperature of the water increased by 8.865 C, how much heat was given off by the dissolution of 15.0 g of solute? Assume the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/g. K. What is the molar heat change for the dissolution of sodium hydroxide (known as the enthalpy of solution, Hsol)?arrow_forward
- . For each hydrogen or hydroxide ion concentration listed. calculate the concentration of the complementary ion and the pH and pOH of the solution. a. [H+]=5.72104M b. [OH-]=8.91105Mc. [H+]=2.871012Md. [OH-]=7.22108Marrow_forwardEach box represents an acid solution at equilibrium. Squares represent H+ ions. Circles represent anions. (Although the anions have different identities in each figure, they are all represented as circles.) Water molecules are not shown. Assume that all solutions have the same volume. (a) Which figure represents the strongest acid? (b) Which figure represents the acid with the smallest Ka? (c) Which figure represents the acid with the lowest pH?arrow_forwardExplain why an acid-base indicator changes color over a range of pH values rather than at a specific pH.arrow_forward
- Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate function as mild laxatives when they reach the small intestine. Why do magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate, two very different substances, have the same effect in your small intestine. (Hint: The contents of the small intestine are basic.)arrow_forwardA solution has a pH of 4.5. What would be the color of the solution if each of the following indicators were added? (See Fig. 14-8.) a. methyl orange b. alizarin c. bromcresol green d. phenolphthaleinarrow_forward. Which component of a buffered solution is capable of combining with an added strong acid? Using your example from Exercise 60, show how this component would react with added HC1.arrow_forward
- Consider the blood buffer system discussed in the Exercise 96. Patients with severe diarrhea can have an excessive loss of sodium bicarbonate (sodium hydrogen carbonate). How would this affect the pH of blood? Explain. What would be the treatment of such a condition?arrow_forwardTwo students were asked to determine the Kb of an unknown base. They were given a bottle with a solution in it. The bottle was labeled aqueous solution of a monoprotic strong acid. They were also given a pH meter, a buret, and an appropriate indicator. They reported the following data: volume of acid required for neutralization = 21.0 mL pH after 7.00 mL of strong acid added = 8.95 Use the students' data to determme the Kb of the unknown base.arrow_forwardFor oxyacids, how does acid strength depend on a. the strength of the bond to the acidic hydrogen atom? b. the electronegativity of the element bonded to the oxygen atom that bears the acidic hydrogen? c. the number of oxygen atoms? How does the strength of a conjugate base depend on these factors? What type of solution forms when a nonmetal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide. What type of solution forms when a metal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide.arrow_forward
