- Ethanol (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_forward12.63 For each of the following reactions, indicate the Bronsted-Lowrv acids and bases. What are the conjugate acid-base pairs?

- Are solutions of the following salts acidic, basic, or neutral? For those that are not neutral, write balanced chemical equations for the reactions causing the solution to be acidic or basic. The relevant Ka and Kb values are found in Tables 13-2 and 13-3. a. NaNO3 b. NaNO2 c. C5H5NHClO4 d. NH4NO2 e. KOCl f. NH4OClarrow_forwardA hydrogen atom in the organic base pyridine, C5H5N, can be substituted by various atoms or groups to give XC5H4N, where X is an atom such as Cl or a group such as CH3. The following table gives Ka values for the conjugate acids of a variety of substituted pyridines. (a) Suppose each conjugate acid is dissolved in sufficient water to give a 0.050 M solution. Which solution would have the highest pH? The lowest pH? (b) Which of the substituted pyridines is the strongest Brnsted base? Which is the weakest Brnsted base?arrow_forwardAccording to the Brønsted-Lowry theory, which of the following would you expect to act as an acid? Which as a base? Both acid and base? (a) CHO2- (b) NH4+ (c) HSO3-arrow_forward
- Use Table 14.3 to help answer the following questions. a. Which is the stronger base, ClO4 or C6H5NH2? b. Which is the stronger base, H2O or C6H5NH2? c. Which is the stronger base, OH or C6H5NH2? d. Which is the stronger base, C6H5NH2 or CH3NH2?arrow_forwardBoron trifluoride, BF3, and diethyl ether, (C2H5)2O, react to produce a compound with the formula BF3 : (C2H5)2O. A coordinate covalent bond is formed between the boron atom on BF3 and the oxygen atom on (C2H5)2O. Write the equation for this reaction, using Lewis electron-dot formulas. Label the Lewis acid and the Lewis base. Determine how many grams of BF3: (C2H5)2O are formed when 9.10 g BF3 and 23.3 g (C2H5)2O are placed in a reaction vessel, assuming that the reaction goes to completion.arrow_forward
