(a)
Interpretation:
An example reaction and K expression that are associated with the auto-ionization of water should be written.
Concept Introduction :
The equilibrium constant expression is the ratio of the concentration of products and reactants of a reaction at equilibrium. The concentrations are raised to the power equal to the
(b)
Interpretation:
An example reaction and K expression that are associated with an acid reacts with water to produce the conjugate base of the acid and the hydronium ion should be written.
Concept Introduction :
The equilibrium constant expression is the ratio of the concentration of products and reactants of a reaction at equilibrium. The concentrations are raised to the power equal to the stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced equation.
(c)
Interpretation:
An example reaction and K expression that are associated with a base reacting with water to produce the conjugate acid of the base and the hydroxide ion should be written.

- Find [H+] and the pH of the following solutions. (a) A 456-mL sample of a 12.0% (by mass) solution of HNO3(d=1.00g/mL). What is the pH of 10.0 mL of the same sample? (b) A solution made up of 1.0 g of HCI dissolved in enough water to make 1.28 L of solution. What is the pH of the solution? If the same mass of HCI is dissolved in enough water to make 128 mL of solution, what would the pH be?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_forwardWrite equations to illustrate the acid-base reaction when each of the following pairs of Brnsted acids and bases are combined: Acid Base a.HOCl H2O b.HClO4 NH3 c.H2O NH2 d.H2O OCl e.HC2O4 H2Oarrow_forward
- Solution A has a pH of 2.0. Solution B has a pH of 5.0 Which solution is more acidic? Based on the H+ ion concentrations in the two solutions, how many times more acidic?arrow_forwardWhat two common assumptions can simplify calculation of equilibrium concentrations in a solution of a weak base?arrow_forward. Water is the most common amphoteric substance, which means that, depending on the circumstances, water can behave either as an acid or as a base. Using HF as an example of an acid and NH3 as an example of a base, write equations for these substances reacting with water, in which water behaves as a base and as an acid, respectively.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_forwardUse Table 13-2 to order the following from the strongest to the weakest base. ClO2,H2O,NH3,ClO4arrow_forward. Strong buses are bases that completely ionize in water to produce hydroxide ion, OH-. The strong bases include the hydroxides of the Group I elements. For example, if 1.0 mole of NaOH is dissolved per liter, the concentration of OH ion is 1.0 M. Calculate the [OH-], pOH, and pH for each of the following strong base solutions. a. 1.10 M NaOH b. 2.0104M KOH c. 6.2103M CsOH d. 0.0001 M NaOHarrow_forward
