Question
1. Predict which solution in each of the following pairs will produce the
solution of the lowest pH. Explain your rationale.
(a) 0.01 M HCI, 0.01 M benzoic acid
(b) 0.01 M HCIO, 0.01 M HCI04
Clue: HCIO4 and HCl are very strong acid; Benzoic acid and Hypochlorous acid have
Ka at 6.25 x 10-5 and 2.90 x10-8 respectively.
