- Write the net ionic equation in which the slightly soluble salt barium fluoride, BaF2, dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid.arrow_forwardThe solubility product constant of Cu(OH)2 and Mg(OH)2 are 1.6 × 10-9 and 6.0 × 10-12, respectively. In terms of calculating molar solubility, which of these hydroxides is less soluble?arrow_forwardWrite the solubility product expression for copper (II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2?arrow_forward
- For a titration to be effective, the reaction must be rapid and the yield of the reaction must essentially be 100%. Is Kc > 1, < 1, or ≈ 1 for a titration reaction? Kc is the product of all reaction products (choose from: Multiplied by, added to, divided by, subtracted from) the product of the reactants, with all concentrations of reactants and products raised to their respective stoichiometric powers. As the titration proceeds, the amount of reactants (choose from: Increases, decreases, remains the same) and the amount of products (choose from: Increases, decreases, remains the same). Because the value of the numerator is (Choose from much greater than, much less than, approximately equal to) the value of the denominator, the value of Kc will be (Choose from much greater than, much less than, approximately equal to)1 for an effective titration reaction.arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a solution prepared by mixing 19 mL of 0.073 M Ba(OH)2 and 55 mL of 0.48 M KOH? (See the Selected Solubility Product Constants.)arrow_forward1. You are taking samples at a contaminated mine site from a carbonate aquifer to determine the concentration of dissolved lead in the sample. To preserve the sample, you acidify it to pH 5. How much HCl, in equivalents/L, must be added to this sample to make it pH 5 if the total carbonate concentration is 102 M and the initial pH is 10? Note that the total carbonate is the sum of all of the carbonate species ([H2CO3]+[HCO3] + [CO2]) present in the sample. What are the acid-base pairs responsible for buffering in this sample?arrow_forward
- Complete the following solubility constant expression for Fe(OH)2.arrow_forwardThe following diagram represents a buffer composed ofequal concentrations of a weak acid, HA, and its conjugatebase, A-. The heights of the columns are proportionalto the concentrations of the components of the buffer.(a) Which of the three drawings, (1), (2), or (3), representsthe buffer after the addition of a strong acid? (b) Which ofthe three represents the buffer after the addition of a strongbase? (c) Which of the three represents a situation thatcannot arise from the addition of either an acid or a base?arrow_forwardIf 4.5 moles of nitric acid falls into 8000 L of pure water, what will be the change of the pH of the solution? (Note that nitric acid dissociates completely and puts in one hydrogen ion for each molecule of nitric acid)arrow_forward
- Calculate the molar solubility (aq., 20 oC) of aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3, in 0.000852 M NaOH. The Ksp of Al(OH)3is 2.0 x 10–32.arrow_forwardA solution is formed by adding 3.20 grams of solid sodium hypochlorite, NaClO, to 500.0 ml of 0.0750M calcium hypochlorite, Ca(ClO)₂. Calculate the pH of the resulting solution. You may assume that the sodium hypochlorite dissolve completely and that the change in volume is negligible with the addition of the solid.arrow_forwardIn the course of various qualitative analysis procedures, the following mixtures are encountered: Cr(OH)3 and Fe(OH)3 .
