For oxyacids, how does acid strength depend on a. the strength of the bond to the acidic hydrogen atom? b. the electronegativity of the element bonded to the oxygen atom that bears the acidic hydrogen? c. the number of oxygen atoms? How does the strength of a conjugate base depend on these factors? What type of solution forms when a nonmetal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide. What type of solution forms when a metal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide.
Consider two weak acids, HA (MM=138g/mol)and HB (MM=72.0g/mol). A solution consisting of 11.0 g of HA in 745 mL has the same pH as a solution made up of 5.00 g of HB in 525 mL. Which of the two acids is stronger? Justify your answer by an appropriate calculation.
. Using Fig. 16.3, list the approximate pH value of live “everyday” solutions. How do the familiar properties (such as the sour taste for acids) of these solutions correspond to their indicated pH?
A solution is made by dissolving 15.0 g sodium hydroxide in approximately 450 mL water. The solution becomes quite warm, but after it is allowed to return to room temperature, water is added to bring the volume to 500.0 mL of solution. (a) Calculate the pH and pOH in the final solution. (b) Why would we wait for it to return to room temperature? (c) If the mass of the water used to initially dissolve the sodium hydroxide were exactly 450 g and the temperature of the water increased by 8.865 C, how much heat was given off by the dissolution of 15.0 g of solute? Assume the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/g. K. What is the molar heat change for the dissolution of sodium hydroxide (known as the enthalpy of solution, Hsol)?
White vinegar is a 5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid in water. If the density of white vinegar is 1.007 g/cm3, what is the pH?
Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by mixing 49.0 mL of butyric acid, HC4H7O2, with 6.15 g of KOH in water. The following data about butyric acid may be helpful: density=0.9595g/mL;K a =1.54105
1. Which of the following can act as a Lewis acid? (Hint : In each case, draw the Lewis electron dot structure of the molecule or ion. Are there lone pairs of electrons on the central atom? If so, it can be a Lewis base. Does the central atom lack an electron pair? If so, it can behave as a Lewis acid.) PH3 BCl3 H2S HS−
