The ionization of a hypothetical weak base is given as follows:
The expression of
Here,
(b)
Interpretation:
Solution of
Concept Introduction:
Spectator ions are regarded as ions that do not appear in the net ionic equation of an acid-base reaction. This is because they are usually the conjugate base corresponding to strong acids such as chloride, iodide, bromide, or nitrate ions.

Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- 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_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_forwardConsider a 0.45 M solution of ascorbic acid,H2C6H6O6, one form of Vitamin C. H2C6H6O6(aq)HC6H6O6(aq)+ H+(aq)K a=7.9 10 5 HC6H6O6(aq)C6H6O62(aq)+ H+(aq)K a=1.6 10 12 Calculate the pH of this solution and estimate [ HC6H6O6 ] and[ C6H6O62 ].arrow_forward
