Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 81E
In dilute aqueous solution HF acts as a weak acid. However, pure liquid HF (boiling point = 19.5 °C) is a strong acid. In liquid HF, HNO3 acts like a base and accepts protons. The acidity of liquid HF can be increased by adding one of several inorganic fluorides that ale Lewis acids and accept F- ion (for example, BF3 or SbF5]. Write balanced chemical equations for the reaction of pure HNO3 with pure HF and of pure HF with BF3.

- The simplest amino acid is glycine, H2NCH2CO2H. The common feature of amino acids is that they contain the functional groups: an amine group, -NH2, and a carboxylic acid group, -CO2H. An amino acid can function as either an acid or a base. For glycine, the acid strength of the carboxyl group is about the same as that of acetic acid. CH3CO2H, and the base strength of the amino group is slightly greater than that of ammonia, NH3.
