- Which acid has the strongest conjugate base? (a) HNO2 (b) C6H5CO2H (c) HCN (d) HClarrow_forward(a) Which is the stronger Bronsted acid, HCO3 or NH4+? Which has the stronger conjugate base? (b) Is a reaction between HCO3- ions and NH3 product- or reactant-favored at equilibrium? HCO3(aq) + NH3(aq) CO32(aq) + NH4+(aq) (c) You mix solutions of sodium hydrogen phosphate and ammonia. The net ionic equation for a possible reaction is HPO42(aq) + NH3(aq) PO43(aq) + NH4+(aq) Does the equilibrium lie to the left or to the right for this reaction?arrow_forwardClassify each of the following as a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base in aqueous solution. a. HNO2 b. HNO3 c. CH3NH2 d. NaOH e. NH3 f. HF g. h. Ca(OH)2 i. H2SO4arrow_forward
- To measure the relative strengths of bases stronger than OH, it is necessary to choose a solvent that is a weaker acid than water. One such solvent is liquid ammonia. (a) Write a chemical equation for the autoionization of ammonia. (b) What is the strongest acid and base that can exist in liquid ammonia? (c) Will a solution of HCI in liquid ammonia be a strong electrical conductor, a weak conductor, or a nonconductor? (d) Oxide ion (O2) is a stronger base than the amide ion (NH2). Write an equation for the reaction of O2 with NH3 in liquid ammonia. Will the equilibrium favor products or reactants?arrow_forwardAccording to the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases, how do you recognize an acid and a base?arrow_forwardWhich of the following substances are acids in terms of the Arrhenius concept? Which are bases? Show the acid or base character by using chemical equations. a P4O10 b Na2O c N2H4 d H2Tearrow_forward
- Students are often surprised to learn that organic acids, such as acetic acid, contain OH groups. Actually, all oxyacids contain hydroxyl groups. Sulfuric acid, usually written as H2SO4, has the structural formula SO2(OH)2, where S is the central atom. Identify the acids whose structural formulas are shown below. Why do they behave as acids, while NaOH and KOH are bases? a. SO(OH)2 b. ClO2(OH) c. HPO(OH)2arrow_forwardA base is a substance that dissociates in water into one or more ______ ions and one or more ________. a.hydrogen . . . anions b.hydrogen . . . cations c.hydroxide . . . anions d.hydroxide . . . cationsarrow_forwardHydrogen, H2S, and sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2 are mixed in water.
