- What is a salt? List some anions that behave as weak bases in water. List some anions that have no basic properties in water. List some cations that behave as weak acids in water. List some cations that have no acidic properties in water. Using these lists, give some formulas for salts that have only weak base properties in water. What strategy would you use to solve for the pH of these basic salt solutions? Identify some salts that have only weak acid properties in water. What strategy would you use to solve for the pH of these acidic salt solutions? Identify some salts that have no acidic or basic properties in water (produce neutral solutions). When a salt contains both a weak acid ion and a weak base ion, how do you predict whether the solution pH is acidic, basic, or neutral?arrow_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_forwardConsider two beakers of pure water at different temperatures. How do their pH values compare? Which is more acidic? More basic? Explain.arrow_forward
- Write equations that show H2PO4- acting both as an acid and as a base.arrow_forwardEach box represents an acid solution at equilibrium. Squares represent H+ ions, and circles represent the anion. Water molecules are not shown. Which figure represents a strong acid? Which figure is a weak acid?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_forwardThe acid H2C4H4O4 forms the succinate ion, C4H4O42, when both hydrogens are removed. This acid is involved in the same energy-storing process as the acid of Exercise 9.23. Name H2C4H4O4 as an acid.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
