General Chemistry: Atoms First
- In the following net ionic reaction, identify each species as either a Brnsted-Lowry acid or a Brnsted -Lowry base: CH3COO(aq)+HS(aq)CH3COOH(aq)+S2(aq). Identify the conjugate of each reactant and state whether it is a conjugate acid or a conjugate base.arrow_forwardUsing the diagrams shown in Problem 10-37, which of the four acids is the weakest acid?arrow_forwardRank the compounds in each of the following groups in order of increasing acidity or basicity, as indicated, and explain the order you assign. (a) acidity: HCI, HBr, HI. (b)basicity: H2O, OH-, H-, CI-. (c) basicity: Mg(OH)2, Si(OH)4, ClO3(OH) (Hint: Formula could also be written as HCIO4). (d) acidity: HF, H2O, NH3, CH4arrow_forward
- 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.)

What volume of ammonia gas at 25C and 1.00 atm pressure is necessary?arrow_forward
- Write a formula for the conjugate base formed when each of the following behaves as a Brnsted acid: a. HSO4 b. CH3NH3+ c. HClO4 d. NH4+ e. HClarrow_forwardEthanol (ethyl alcohol), CH3CH2OH, can act as a BrnstedLowry acid. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as an acid with hydroxide ion, OH. Ethanol can also react as a BrnstedLowry base. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as a base with hydronium ion, H3O+. Explain how you arrived at these chemical equations. Both of these reactions can also be considered Lewis acid base reactions. Explain this.arrow_forwardYou are asked to calculate the H+ concentration in a solution of NaOH(aq). Because sodium hydroxide is a base, can we say there is no H+. since having H+ would imply that the solution is acidic?arrow_forward
