Acetic acid is a weak acid, meaning it does not fully dissociate in water. Instead, there is an equilibrium between the dissolved but undissociated molecule and the component ions:
HOAc (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ H3O+ (aq) + OAc– (aq)OAc– is an abbreviation for the acetate ion, CH3COO–, and H3O+ is the hydronium ion (lone protons, H+ (aq), do not exist!).
(d) When starting with completely un-dissociated acetic acid, is it accurate to assume that [HOAc]0 = [HOAc]eq? Why or why not?
(e) A highly concentrated acetic acid solution contains 15.0M acetic acid at equilibrium. What are the equilibrium concentrations of the hydronium and acetate ions in this solution?
(f) Creating the concentrated acetic acid solution by dissolving liquid HOAc in water raises the temperature of the water by about 5°C from room temperature. At 50°C, do you expect the solution to contain more or less acetate ion OAc– than what you calculated in (c)? Why?

- The pigment cyanidin aglycone is one of the anthocyanin molecules that gives red cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra) its characteristic red coloration. Many chemistry students have used this red cabbage indicator to study acid-base chemistry. Estimate tire pH range at which cyanidin agly-cone shows a color change.

Consider the reaction of acetic acid in water CH3CO2H(aq)+H2O(l)CH3CO2(aq)+H3O+(aq) where Ka = 1.8 105 a. Which two bases are competing for the proton? b. Which is the stronger base? c. In light of your answer to part b. why do we classify the acetate ion (CH3CO2) as a weak base? Use an appropriate reaction to justify your answer. In general, as base strength increases, conjugate acid strength decreases. Explain why the conjugate acid of the weak base NH3 is a weak acid. To summarize, the conjugate base of a weak acid is a weak base and the conjugate acid of a weak base is a weak acid (weak gives you weak). Assuming Ka for a monoprotic strong acid is 1 106, calculate Kb for the conjugate base of this strong acid. Why do conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties in water? List the conjugate bases of the six common strong acids. To tie it all together, some instructors have students think of Li+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ as the conjugate acids of the strong bases LiOH, KOH. RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2. Although not technically correct, the conjugate acid strength of these cations is similar to the conjugate base strength of the strong acids. That is, these cations have no acidic properties in water; similarly, the conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties (strong gives you worthless). Fill in the blanks with the correct response. The conjugate base of a weak acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a weak base is a_____acid. The conjugate base of a strong acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a strong base is a_____ acid. (Hint: Weak gives you weak and strong gives you worthless.)arrow_forward
