Ka of acetic acid is 1.8× 10−5 and Ka of formic acid is 1.8×10−4. Same Acetic acid Formic acidarrow_forwardArrange the following compounds or anions in each group in order of decreasing basicity: (a) H3C−, H2N−, HO−, F− (b) H2O, NH3, HO−, H2N−arrow_forward
- Rank the Acidity of the following sets of compounds in an increasing order. Give an explanation for your answer.arrow_forwardRank the attached compounds in order of increasing acidity, and then ranktheir conjugate bases in order of increasing basicity ?arrow_forwardPredict the stronger acid in each pair: (a) HNO3 or HNO2;(b) H2S or H2O; (c) H2SO4 or H2SeO4; (d) CH3COOH or CCl3COOH.arrow_forward
- Choose the stronger acid in each of the following pairs:(a) H₂SeO₃ or H₂SeO₄(b) H₃PO₄ or H₃AsO₄(c) H₂S or H₂Tearrow_forwardWhich is the stronger base, NO3− or CN−?arrow_forwardIn acidic solution, ________. Select one: A. [H3O+] = [OH-] B. [H3O+] = 0M C. [H3O+] < [OH-] D. [OH-] > 7.00 E. [H3O+] > [OH-]arrow_forward
- Place the following compounds in order of relative acidity. Consider 1 to be the most acidic and 6 to be the least acidic.arrow_forwardPredict which acid in the following pairs of acids is the stronger acids: a) H2SO3 or H2SeO3b); b) H2SeO4 or H2SeO3.arrow_forwardThe pKa of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, page 55) is 4.17, showing that it is slightly more acidic than acetic acid (CH3COOH, pKa 4.74). Compare the most stable conjugate base of ascorbic acid with the conjugate base of acetic acid, and suggest why these two compounds have similar acidities, even though ascorbic acid lacks the carboxylic acid (COOH) group.arrow_forward
