- A student prepares 455 mL of a KOH solution, but neglects to write down the mass of KOH added. His TA suggests that he take the pH of the solution. The pH is 13.33. How many grams of KOH were added?arrow_forwardConsider 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.arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a solution obtained by mixing 235 mL of NaOH with a pH of 11.57 and 316 mL of Sr(OH)2 with a pH of 12.09? Assume that volumes are additive.arrow_forward
- . 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?arrow_forwardWhy have chemists not tabulated the fraction ionized for different acids? Such a table would make problems such as calculating the pH of an acid solution quite simple.arrow_forwardThe pH of a 0.15-M solution of HSO4- is 1.43. Determine Ka for HSO4- from these data.arrow_forward
- You are asked to determine whether an unknown white solid is acidic or basic. You also need to say whether the acid or base is weak or strong. You are given the molar mass of the solid and told that it is soluble in water. Describe an experiment that you can perform to obtain the desired characteristics of the white solid.arrow_forwardCalculate 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 =1.54105arrow_forwardBoric acid, B(OH)3, is used as a mild antiseptic. What is the pH of a 0.015 M aqueous solution of boric acid? What is the degree of ionization of boric acid in this solution? The hydronium ion arises principally from the reaction B(OH)3(aq)+2H2O(l)B(OH)4(aq)+H3O+(aq)arrow_forward
