3.85 The particulate drawing shown represents an aqueous so- lution of an acid HA, where A might represent an atom or group of atoms. Is HA a strong acid or a weak acid? Explain how you can tell from the picture.
A solution of hydrochloric acid has a volume of 250. mL and a pH of 1.92. Exactly 250. mL of 0.0105 M NaOH is added. What is the pH of the resulting solution?
ssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view.

(2) if ALL the bicarbonate in 5.0 L of blood is neutralized by vinegar, how many mL of vinegar will be needed? (3) When all the bicarbonate ions are neutralized to carbonic acid, what will be the resulting blood pH? Note: pKa values for carbonic acid (diprotic acid) are 6.4 and 10.3, respectively.

In chemistry, the pH scale measures the acidity of a solution. Solutions with pH less than 7 are considered acidic, while solutions with pH greater than 7 are considered alkaline. A pH of 7 is considered neutral. The formula of pH is pH = -logx, where x represents the concentration of hydrogen ions in mol/L.
