- For 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_forward8-13 Define (a) an Arrhenius acid and (b) an Arrhenius base.arrow_forwardUsing the diagrams shown in Problem 10-37, which of the four acids is the weakest acid?arrow_forward
- Calculate the pH and the pOH of each of the following solutions at 25 C for which the substances ionize completely: (a) 0.000259 M HClO4. (b) 0.21 M NaOH. (c) 0.000071 M Ba(OH)2. (d) 2.5 M KOHarrow_forward8-16 For each of the following, tell whether the acid is strong or weak. (a) Acetic acid (b) HCI (c) H3PO4 (d) H2SO4 (e) HCN (f) H2CO3arrow_forwardRank the compounds in each of the following groups in order of increasing acidity or basicity, as indicated, and explain the order you assign. (a) acidity: HCI, HBr, HI. (b)basicity: H2O, OH-, H-, CI-. (c) basicity: Mg(OH)2, Si(OH)4, ClO3(OH) (Hint: Formula could also be written as HCIO4). (d) acidity: HF, H2O, NH3, CH4arrow_forward
- 1. Which of the following can act as a Lewis acid? (Hint : In each case, draw the Lewis electron dot structure of the molecule or ion. Are there lone pairs of electrons on the central atom? If so, it can be a Lewis base. Does the central atom lack an electron pair? If so, it can behave as a Lewis acid.) PH3 BCl3 H2S HS−arrow_forwardChloroacetic acid, HC2H2ClO2, has a greater acid strength than acetic acid, because the electronegative chlorine atom pulls electrons away from the OH bond and thus weakens it. Calculate the hydronium-ion concentration and the pH of a 0.0020 M solution of chloroacetic acid, Ka is 1.3 103.arrow_forwardIn each of the following acid-base reactions, identify the Brnsted acid and base on the left and their conjugate partners on the right. (a) C2H5N(aq) + CH3CO2H(aq) C5H5NH+(aq) + CH3CO2(aq) (b) N2H4(aq) + HSO4(aq) N2H5+(aq) + SO42(aq) (c) [Al(H2O)6]3+ (aq) + OH(aq) [Al(H2O)5OH]2+ (aq) + H2O+()arrow_forward
- How is acid strength related to the value of Ka? What is the difference between strong acids and weak acids (see Table 13-1)? As the strength of an acid increases, what happens to the strength of the conjugate base? How is base strength related to the value of Kb? As the strength of a base increases, what happens to the strength of the conjugate acid?arrow_forward2. The cyanide ion, CN−, accepts a proton from water to form HCN. Is CN− a Bronsted acid or base or is it amphiprotic? acid base amphiproticarrow_forwardWhite vinegar is a 5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid in water. If the density of white vinegar is 1.007 g/cm3, what is the pH?arrow_forward
