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.
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?
Amino acids are an important group of compounds. At low pH, both the carboxylic acid group (CO2H) and the amine group (NHR) are protonated. However, as the pH of the solution increases (say, by adding base), the carboxylic acid proton is removed, usually at a pH between 2 and 3. In a middle range of pHs, therefore, the amine group is protonated, but the carboxylic acid group has lost the proton. (This is called a zwitterion.) At more basic pH values, the amine proton is dissociated. What is the pH of a 0.20 M solution of alanine hydrochloride, [NH3CHCH3CO2H]Cl?
8-82 Assume that you have a dilute solution of HCI (0.10 M) and a concentrated solution of acetic acid (5.0 M). Which solution is more acidic? Explain.
The sec-butyl cation can react as both a Brnsted-Lowry acid (a proton donor) and a Lewis acid (an electron pair acceptor) in the presence of a watersulfuric acid mixture. In each case, however, the product is different. The two reactions are as follows: (a) In which reaction(s) does this cation react as a Lewis acid? In which reaction(s) does it react as a Brnsted-Lowry acid? (b) Write Lewis structures for reactants and products and show by the use of curved arrows how each reaction occurs.
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.
The pH of human blood is steady at a value of approximately 7.4 owing to the following equilibrium reactions: CO2(aq)+H2O(l)H2CO3(aq)H2CO3(aq)+H+(aq) Acids formed during normal cellular respiration react with the HCO3 to form carbonic acid, which is in equilibrium with CO2(aq) and H2O(l). During vigorous exercise, a persons H2CO3 blood levels were 26.3 mM whereas his CO2 levels were 1.63 mM. On resting, the H2CO3 levels declined to 24.9 mM. What was the CO2 blood level at rest?
