Unpolluted rain water has a pH of about 5.5. Acid rain has been shown to have a pH as low as 3.0. Calculate the [H+] ratio of acid rain to unpolluted rain.
Two strategies are followed when solving for the pH of an acid in water. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a strong acid in water? What major assumptions are made when solving strong acid problems? The best way to recognize strong acids is to memorize them. List the six common strong acids (the two not listed in the text are HBr and HI). Most acids, by contrast, are weak acids. When solving for the pH of a weak acid in water, you must have the Ka value. List two places in this text that provide Ka values for weak acids. You can utilize these tables to help you recognize weak acids. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a weak acid in water? What assumptions are generally made? What is the 5% rule? If the 5% rule fails, how do you calculate the pH of a weak acid in water?
The ideal pH of a swimming pool is 7.2. You measure the pH of your pool to be 6.5. What should you add, acid or base, to restore your pool to the ideal pH? acid base neither
A sample of coffee has a pH of 4.3. Calculate the hydronium ion concentration in this coffee. Is the coffee acidic or basic?
Figure 14.3 shows the pH of some common solutions. How many times more acidic or basic is each of these compared with a neutral solution? (a) Milk (b) Seawater (c) Blood (d) Battery acid
Two students were asked to determine the Kb of an unknown base. They were given a bottle with a solution in it. The bottle was labeled aqueous solution of a monoprotic strong acid. They were also given a pH meter, a buret, and an appropriate indicator. They reported the following data: volume of acid required for neutralization = 21.0 mL pH after 7.00 mL of strong acid added = 8.95 Use the students' data to determme the Kb of the unknown base.
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?
Papaverine hydrochloride (abbreviated papH+Cl; molar mass = 378.85 g/mol) is a drug that belongs to a group of medicines called vasodilators, which cause blood vessels to expand, thereby increasing blood flow. This drug is the conjugate acid of the weak base papaverine (abbreviated pap; Kb = 8.33 109 at 35.0C). Calculate the pH of a 30.0-mg/mL aqueous dose of papH+Cl prepared at 35.0C. Kw at 35.0C is 2.1 1014.
