(a)
Interpretation:
The base,
Concept introduction:
Solutions of substances in which the ions are the conducting species are called electrolytes. The ionization depends on the nature of the substance. Some substances are more ionized in solution. Other substances are ionized to a lesser extent.

- Students are often surprised to learn that organic acids, such as acetic acid, contain OH groups. Actually, all oxyacids contain hydroxyl groups. Sulfuric acid, usually written as H2SO4, has the structural formula SO2(OH)2, where S is the central atom. Identify the acids whose structural formulas are shown below. Why do they behave as acids, while NaOH and KOH are bases? a. SO(OH)2 b. ClO2(OH) c. HPO(OH)2arrow_forwardWhich of the diagrams in Problem 10-135 represents the substance that is the weakest electrolyte?arrow_forwardWrite two BrnstedLowry acid-base reactions and show how they represent proton-transfer reactions.arrow_forward
- The following four diagrams represent aqueous solutions of four different acids with the general formula HA. Which of the four acids is the strongest acid?arrow_forwardClassify each of the following as a strong or weak acid or base. a NH3 b HCNO c Mg(OH)2 d HClO3arrow_forwardYou 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_forward
- A Liquid HF undergoes an autoionization reaction: 2HFH2F++F (a) Is KF an acid or a base in this solvent? (b) Perchloric acid, HCIO4, is a strong acid in liquid HF. Write the chemical equation for the ionization reaction. (c) Ammonia is a strong base in this solvent. Write the chemical equation for the ionization reaction. (d) Write the net ionic equation for the neutralization of perchloric acid with ammonia in this solvent.arrow_forwardDifferentiate between the terms strength and concentration as they apply to acids and bases. When is HCl strong? Weak? Concentrated? Dilute? Answer the same questions for ammonia. Is the conjugate base of a weak acid a strong base?arrow_forwardHydrogen, H2S, and sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2 are mixed in water. Using Table 16.2, write a balanced equation for the acid-base reaction that could in principle, occur. Does the equilibrium lie toward the products or the reactants?arrow_forward
