Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The salt,
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.

- What is the freezing point of vinegar, which is an aqueous solution of 5.00% acetic acid, HC2H3O2, by mass (d=1.006g/cm3)?arrow_forwardWhich of the diagrams in Problem 10-135 represents the substance that is the weakest electrolyte?arrow_forwardThe weak base, CIO (hypochlorite ion), is used in the form of NaCIO as a disinfectant in swimming pools and water treatment plants. What are the concentrations of HCIO and OH and the pH of a 0.015 M solution of NaCIO?arrow_forward
- What term is used to describe the formation of ions, in aqueous solution, from a. a molecular compound b. an ionic compoundarrow_forwardEqual molar quantities of ammonia and sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) are mixed. (a) Write a balanced, net ionic equation for the acid-base reaction that can, in principle, occur. (b) Does the equilibrium lie to the right or left?arrow_forwardUsing the diagrams shown in Problem 10-117, which of the solutions would have the greatest buffer capacity, that is, greatest protection against pH change, when the following occurs? a. A strong acid is added to the solution. b. A strong base is added to the solution.arrow_forward
- You 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_forwardA 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_forwardThe HCl in a 0.10 M HCl solution is 100% dissociated. What are the molar concentrations of HCl, H3O+, and Cl in the solution?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_forwardA weak acid, HA, is dissolved in water. Which one of the following beakers represents the resulting solution? (Water molecules have been omitted for clarity.)arrow_forwardThe 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_forward
