EBK CHEMISTRY: AN ATOMS FIRST APPROACH
- Calculate the pH of a 0.200-M solution of C5H5NHF. Hint: C5H5NHF is a salt composed of C5H5NH+ and F ions. The principal equilibrium in this solution is the best acid reacting with the best base; the reaction for the principal equilibrium is C5H5NH+(aq)+F(aq)C5H5N(aq)+HF(aq)K=8.2103arrow_forwardMagnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, is the active ingredient in die antacid TUMS and has a Ksp value of 8.9 1012. If a 10.0-g sample of Mg(OH)2 is placed in 500.0 mL of solution, calculate the moles of OH ions present. Because the Ksp value for Mg(OH)2 is much less than 1, not a lot of solid dissolves in solution. Explain how Mg(OH)2 works to neutralize large amounts of stomach acid.arrow_forwardWhat are the equilibrium concentrations of acetic acid, the acetate ion, and H3O+ for a 0.10 M solution of acetic acid (K2 = 1.8 105)? What is the pH of the solution?arrow_forward
- For conjugate acidbase pairs, how are Ka and Kb related? Consider the reaction of acetic acid in water CH3CO2H(aq)+H2O(l)CH3CO2(aq)+H3O+(aq) where Ka = 1.8 105 a. Which two bases are competing for the proton? b. Which is the stronger base? c. In light of your answer to part b. why do we classify the acetate ion (CH3CO2) as a weak base? Use an appropriate reaction to justify your answer. In general, as base strength increases, conjugate acid strength decreases. Explain why the conjugate acid of the weak base NH3 is a weak acid. To summarize, the conjugate base of a weak acid is a weak base and the conjugate acid of a weak base is a weak acid (weak gives you weak). Assuming Ka for a monoprotic strong acid is 1 106, calculate Kb for the conjugate base of this strong acid. Why do conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties in water? List the conjugate bases of the six common strong acids. To tie it all together, some instructors have students think of Li+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ as the conjugate acids of the strong bases LiOH, KOH. RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2. Although not technically correct, the conjugate acid strength of these cations is similar to the conjugate base strength of the strong acids. That is, these cations have no acidic properties in water; similarly, the conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties (strong gives you worthless). Fill in the blanks with the correct response. The conjugate base of a weak acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a weak base is a_____acid. The conjugate base of a strong acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a strong base is a_____ acid. (Hint: Weak gives you weak and strong gives you worthless.)arrow_forwardCalculate the CO2+ equilibrium concentration when 0.100 mole of [CO(NH3)6](NO3)2 is added to a solution with 0.025 M NH3.

Many chemistry students have used this red cabbage indicator to study acid-base chemistry. Estimate tire pH range at which cyanidin agly-cone shows a color change.
