EBK CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES
- You are asked to determine whether an unknown white solid is acidic or basic. You also need to say whether the acid or base is weak or strong. You are given the molar mass of the solid and told that it is soluble in water. Describe an experiment that you can perform to obtain the desired characteristics of the white solid.arrow_forwardWhat two common assumptions can simplify calculation of equilibrium concentrations in a solution of a weak base?arrow_forwardConsider the autoionization of liquid ammonia: Label each of the species in the equation as an acid or a base and explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Write 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_forwardArsenic acid (H3AsO4) is a moderately weak triprotic acid. Write equations showing its stepwise dissociation. Which of the three anions formed in these reactions will be the strongest Brnsted base? Which will be the weakest Brnsted base? Explain your answers.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
- Explain the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid.arrow_forwardWrite a formula for the conjugate base formed when each of the following behaves as a Brnsted acid: a. HSO3 b. HPO42 c. HClO3 d. CH3NH3+ e. H2C2O4arrow_forwardWhen someone hyperventilates, a condition known as respiratory alkalosis can occur. Explain the cause and effect of respiratory alkalosis.
