- 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_forwardIn each of the following chemical equations, identify the conjugate acid—base pairs. a. HF(aq)+H2O(l)F-(aq)+H3O+(aq)b. CN(aq)+H2O(l)HCN(aq)+OH(aq) c. HCO3-(aq)+H2O(l)H2CO3(aq)+OH-(aq)arrow_forwardFor oxyacids, how does acid strength depend on a. the strength of the bond to the acidic hydrogen atom? b. the electronegativity of the element bonded to the oxygen atom that bears the acidic hydrogen? c. the number of oxygen atoms? How does the strength of a conjugate base depend on these factors? What type of solution forms when a nonmetal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide. What type of solution forms when a metal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide.arrow_forward
- You 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_forwardCalculate the ionization constant for each of the following acids or bases form the ionization constant of its conjugate base or conjugate acid: (a) F- (b) NH4+ (c) AsO43- (d) (CH3)2 NH2+ (e) NO2- (f) HC2O4- (as a base)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_forward
- Which of the following beakers best represents a container of a weak acid, HA, in water? (Water molecules have been omitted for clarity.)arrow_forwardCoal and other fossil fuels usually contain sulfur compounds that produce sulfur dioxide, SO2, when burned. One possible way to remove the sulfur dioxide is to pass the combustion gases into a tower packed with calcium oxide, CaO. Write the equation for the reaction. Identify each reactant as either a Lewis acid or a Lewis base. Explain how you arrived at your answer.arrow_forwardNovocaine, C13H21O2N2Cl, is the salt of the base procaine and hydrochloric acid. The ionization constant for procaine is 7106. 15 a solution of novocaine acidic or basic? What are [H3O+], [OH-], and pH of a 2.0% solution by mass of novocaine, assuming that the density of the solution is 1.0 g/mL.arrow_forward
- Consider two separate solutions: one containing a weak acid. HA, and one containing HCl. Assume that you start with 10 molecules of each. a. Draw a molecular-level picture of what each solution looks like. b. Arrange the following from strongest to weakest base: Cl- H2O. A- . Explain.arrow_forwardA shampoo solution at 25C has a hydroxide-ion concentration of 1.5 109 M. Is the solution acidic, neutral, or basic?arrow_forwardIn 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_forward
