A bottle of concentrated hydroiodic acid is 57% HI by weight and has a density of 1.70 g/mL. A solution of this strong and corrosive acid is made by adding exactly 10.0 mL to some water and diluting to 250.0 mL. If the information on the label is correct, what volume of 0.988 M NaOH is needed to neutralize the HI solution? Suggest an indicator for the titration.
Four grams of a monoprotic weak acid are dissolved in water to make 250.0 mL of solution with a pH of 2.56. The solution is divided into two equal parts, A and B. Solution A is titrated with strong base to its equivalence point. Solution B is added to solution A after solution A is neutralized. The pH of the resulting solution is 4.26. What is the molar mass of the acid?
A chemist needs a buffer with pH 3.50. How many milliliters of pure formic acid (density = 1.220 g/mL) must be added to 375 mL of 0.0857 M NaOH solution to obtain such a buffer?
What is an acidbase indicator? Define the equivalence (stoichiometric) point and the end point of a titration. Why should you choose an indicator so that the two points coincide? Do the pH values of the two points have to be within 0.01 pH unit of each other? Explain.
Each symbol in the box below represents a mole of a component in one liter of a buffer solution; represents the anion (X-), = the weak acid (HX), = H+, and =OH. Water molecules and the few H+ and OH- ions from the dissociation of HX and X- are not shown. The box contains 10 mol of a weak acid, , in a liter of solution. Show what happens upon (a) the addition of 2 mol of OH- (2 ). (b) the addition of 5 mol of OH- (5 ). (c) the addition of 10 mol of OH- (10 ). (d) the addition of 12 mol of OH- (12 ). Which addition (a)-(d) represents neutralization halfway to the equivalence point?
Explain why barium fluoride dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid but is insoluble in water.
A friend asks the following: Consider a buffered solution made up of the weak acid HA and its salt NaA. If a strong base like NaOH is added, the HA reacts with the OH to form A. Thus the amount of acid (HA) is decreased, and the amount of base (A) is increased. Analogously, adding HCI to the buffered solution forms more of the acid (HA) by reacting with the base (A). Thus how can we claim that a buffered solution resists changes in the pH of the solution? How would you explain buffering to this friend?
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is absorbed from the stomach in the free (non-ionized) acid form. If a patient takes an antacid that adjusts the pH of the stomach contents to 2.59 and then takes two 5-grain aspirin tablets (total 0.65 g), how many grams of aspirin are available for immediate absorption from the stomach, assuming immediate dissolution> Also assume that aspirin does not change the pH of the stomach contents. The pKa of aspirin is 3.5, and its formula weight is 180.2. _______ mg
