- Leucine is an amino acid with this Lewis structure: Write the Lewis structure for the zwitterion form of leucine.arrow_forwardA solution contains 0.675 g of ethylamine, C2H5NH2, per 100.0 mL of solution. Electrical conductivity measurements at 20C show that 0.98% of the ethylamine has reacted with water. Write the equation for this reaction. Calculate the pH of the solution.arrow_forwardHypofluorous acid, HOF, is known, but fluorous acid, HOFO, is not. Which acid would you expect to be stronger?arrow_forward
- Both ions in the salt ammonium acetate (NH4C2H3O2) hydrolyze in aqueous solution. Explain why this hydrolysis produces a neutral solution rather than an acidic or basic solution.arrow_forwardWhat are the major species in solution after NaHSO4 is dissolved in water? What happens to the pH of the solution as more NaHSO4 is added? Why? Would the results vary if baking soda (NaHCO3) were used instead?arrow_forwardA solution contains 4.25g of ammonia per 250.0 mL of solution. Electrical conductivity measurements at 25C show that 0.42% of the ammonia has reacted with water. Write the equation for this reaction and calculate the pH of the solution.arrow_forward
- Hydrazine, N2H4 (having the structure H2NNH2), and its derivatives have been used as rocket fuels. Draw the Lewis electron-dot formula for the hydrazine molecule. Describe the geometries expected about the nitrogen atoms in this molecule. Why would you expect hydrazine to be basic? Which substance, NH3 or N2H4, would you expect to be more basic? Why? Write the chemical equation in which hydrazine reacts with hydrochloric acids to form the salt N2H5Cl. Consider the positive ion of this salt. How does its basic character compare with that of NH3 and N2H4? Explain.arrow_forwardHypophosphorous acid, H3PO2, and phosphoric acid, H3PO4, have approximately the same acid strengths. From this information, and noting the possibility that one or more hydrogen atoms may be directly bonded to the phosphorus atom, draw the structural formula of hypophosphorous acid. How many grams of sodium hydroxide would be required to completely neutralize 1.00 g of this acid?arrow_forward. How is the strength of an acid related to the fact that a competition for protons exists in aqueous solution between water molecules and the anion of the acid?arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardAn aqueous solution contains a mixture of 0.0500 M HCOOH (Ka = 1.77 104) and 0.150 M CH3CH2COOH (Ka = 1.34 105). Calculate the pH of this solution. Because both acids are of comparable strength, the H+ contribution from both acids must be considered.arrow_forward
