- The chemistry of gallium: (a) Gallium hydroxide, like aluminum hydroxide, is amphoteric. Write a balanced equation to show how this hydroxide can dissolve in both HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq). (b) Gallium ion in water, Ga3+(aq), has a Ka value of 1.2 103. Is this ion a stronger or a weaker acid than Al3+(aq)?arrow_forwardMost naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.arrow_forwardHydrogen, H2S, and sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2 are mixed in water. Using Table 16.2, write a balanced equation for the acid-base reaction that could in principle, occur. Does the equilibrium lie toward the products or the reactants?arrow_forward
- Two strategies are also followed when solving for the pH of a base in water. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a strong base in water? List the strong bases mentioned in the text that should be committed to memory. Why is calculating the pH of Ca(OH)2 solutions a little more difficult than calculating the pH of NaOH solutions? Most bases are weak bases. The presence of what element most commonly results in basic properties for an organic compound? What is present on this element in compounds that allows it to accept a proton? Table 13-3 and Appendix 5 of the text list Kb values for some weak bases. What strategy is used to solve for the pH of a weak base in water? What assumptions are made when solving for the pH of weak base solutions? If the 5% rule fails, how do you calculate the pH of a weak base in water?arrow_forwardConsider the following ions: NH4+, CO32, Br, S2, and ClO4. (a) Which of these ions in water gives an acidic solution and which gives a basic solution? (b) Which of these anions will have no effect on the pH of an aqueous solution? (c) Which ion is the strong base? (d) Write a chemical equation for the reaction of each basic anion with water.arrow_forwardWhat are the major species in solution after NaHSO4 is dissolved in water? What happens to the pH of the solution as more NaHSO4 is added? Why? Would the results vary if baking soda (NaHCO3) were used instead?arrow_forward
- One half liter (500. mL) of 2.50 M HCl is mixed with 250. mL of 3.75 M HCl. Assuming the total solution volume after mixing is 750. mL, what is the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution? What is its pH?arrow_forward1. Complete and balance the following equations for acid-base reactions NH3 HNO3 NaHCOs HCI H2O +. NH"arrow_forwardPlease kindly help me to answer this QUESTION. Thank you very much! H3PO4 + NaOH --> Na3PO4 + H2O A. Balance the equation B. If 36.0 ml of H3PO4 react exactly with 80.0 ml of 0.500 M NaOH, what is the concentration of the phosphoric acid?arrow_forward
- 1. Calculate the pH of a soultion that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 1.25 x 10-4 2. Calculate the [H+] concentration of a soultion with a pH of 11.5 3. Write an equation to illustrate the reaction between nitric acid (HNO3) and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2)arrow_forward1. The [H3O+] of a HCl solution is 4.8 x 10-6M. What is the [OH-]? Watch sf! 2. Write a balanced equation for the following acid reactions: Ensure you balance both sides of the equation! H2SO4 (aq) + Mg(OH)2 (s) → HBr (aq) + K2CO3 (s) → H3PO4 (aq) + Al(s) → 3. Write the dissociation equation and Ka expression for the weak acid, HSO4-. a) Dissociation equation (in water): b) Note- you do not need to provide a numerical value! Ka=arrow_forwardWhat are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base? O a Carbon dioxide and a salt O b Another acid and base Ос Water and a salt Od Either two acids or two basesarrow_forward
