Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 122SCQ
The acidity of the oxoacids was described in Section 16.9, and a larger number of acids are listed in the table below.
- (a) What general trends do you see in these data?
- (b) What has a greater effect on acidity, the number of O atoms bonded directly to the central atom E or the number of OH groups?
- (c) Look at the acids based on Cl, N, and S. Is there a correlation of acidity with the formal charge on the central atom, E?
- (d) The acid H3PO3 has a pKa of 1.8, and this led to some insight into its structure. If the structure of the acid were P(OH)3, what would be its predicted pKa value? Given that this is a diprotic acid, which H atoms are lost as H+ ions?

- Following is a structural formula for imidazole, a building block of the essential amino acid histidine (Chapter 27). It is also a building block of histamine, a compound all too familiar to people with allergies and takers of antihistamines. When imidazole is dissolved in water, proton transfer to it gives a cation. Is this cation better represented by structure A or B? Explain.arrow_forwardThe following reactions illustrate Brnsted acid-base behavior.

Which of the following can act as a Lewis acid? (Hint : In each case, draw the Lewis electron dot structure of the molecule or ion. Are there lone pairs of electrons on the central atom? If so, it can be a Lewis base. Does the central atom lack an electron pair? If so, it can behave as a Lewis acid.) PH3 BCl3 H2S HS−arrow_forward
- Hydrazine, N2H4 (having the structure H2NNH2), and its derivatives have been used as rocket fuels. Draw the Lewis electron-dot formula for the hydrazine molecule. Describe the geometries expected about the nitrogen atoms in this molecule. Why would you expect hydrazine to be basic? Which substance, NH3 or N2H4, would you expect to be more basic? Why? Write the chemical equation in which hydrazine reacts with hydrochloric acids to form the salt N2H5Cl. Consider the positive ion of this salt. How does its basic character compare with that of NH3 and N2H4? Explain.arrow_forwardCoal and other fossil fuels usually contain sulfur compounds that produce sulfur dioxide, SO2, when burned. One possible way to remove the sulfur dioxide is to pass the combustion gases into a tower packed with calcium oxide, CaO. Write the equation for the reaction. Identify each reactant as either a Lewis acid or a Lewis base. Explain how you arrived at your answer.arrow_forwardAluminum chloride, AlCl3, behaves more as a molecular compound than an ionic one. This is illustrated in its ability to form a fourth covalent bond with a chloride ion: AlCl3+ClAlCl4. From the Lewis diagram of the aluminum chloride molecule and the electron configuration of the chloride ion, show that this is an acidbase reaction in the Lewis sense, and identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base. Aluminum chloride is a white solid at room conditions, although it is typically manufactured mixed with some yellow ironIII chloride. Its appearance is that of an ionic compound.arrow_forward
