- The pH of 0.10 M CH3NH2 (methylamine) is 11.8. When the chloride salt of methylamine, CH3NH3Cl, is added to this solution, does the pH increase or decrease? Explain, using Le Chteliers principle and the common-ion effect.arrow_forwardWrite the Ksp expression for each of these slightly soluble salts: CuBr HgI2 SrSO4arrow_forwardWrite the chemical equation for the formation of each complex ion and write its formation constant expression, (a) [Ag(CN)2] (b) [Cd(NH3)4]2+arrow_forward
- What is the pH of a buffer that is 0.150 M in a weak acid and 0.150 M in the acids conjugate base? The acids ionization constant is 6.8 106.arrow_forwardBriefly describe how a buffer solution can control the pH of a solution when strong acid is added and when strong base is added. Use NH3/NH4Cl as an example of a buffer and HCl and NaOH as the strong acid and strong base.arrow_forwardA student dissolves 0.0100 mole of an unknown weak base in 100.0 mL water and titrates the solution with 0.100 M HNO3. After 40.0 mL of 0.100 M HNO3 was added, the pH of the resulting solution was 8.00. Calculate the Kb value for the weak base.arrow_forward
- You place 1.234 g of solid Ca(OH)2 in 1.00 L of pure water at 25 C. The pH of the solution is found to be 12.68. Estimate the value of Ksp for Ca(OH)2.arrow_forwardKa for formic acid is 1.7 104 at 25C. A buffer is made by mixing 529 mL of 0.465 M formic acid, HCHO2, and 494 mL of 0.524 M sodium formate, NaCHO2. Calculate the pH of this solution at 25C after 110 mL of 0.152 M HCl has been added to this buffer.arrow_forwardDescribe the effect on the pH of the following actions or explain why there is not an effect: (a) Adding sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2, to 0.100 M CH3CO2H (b) Adding NaNO3 to 0.100 M HNO3arrow_forward
- Consider die titration of 50.0 mL of 0.10 M H3A (Ka1 = 5.0 104, Ka2 = 1.0 108, Ka3 = 1.0 1012) titrated by 0.10 M KOH. a. Calculate the pH of the resulting solution at 125 mL of KOH added. b. At what volume of KOH added does pH = 3.30? c. At 75.0 mL of KOH added, is the solution acidic or basic?arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds could be used to create a buffer with a pH of 9.00? ammonia, Kb = 1.76 x 10–5 None of the above compounds could be used to create a buffer with a pH of 9.00. p-toluidine, pKb = 8.92 formic acid, Ka = 1.80 x 10–4 benzene-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, pKa1=2.88, pKa276, pKa3 = 7.13arrow_forwardLemons get their sour flavor from citric acid (Ka = 7.4 x 10-4) a fresh squeezed lemon can have a citric acid concentration of 0.3 M and produce 20 mL. What is the pH after 20 mL of 0.6 KOH has been added?arrow_forward
