- . The odor of spoiled butter is due in part to butanoic acid (HC4H7O2) which results from the breakdown of the fat in butter. A 0.100M solution of butanoic acid is 1.23% ionized. Write the chemical equation for the ionization of this acid in water. Write the Ka expression for this acid. What is the equilibrium concentration of each product and the reactant?arrow_forwardWrite an equation for the ionization of hydrogen cyanide, HCN, in aqueous solution. What is the equilibrium expression Ka for this acid ionization?arrow_forwardWrite the chemical equation and the expression for the equilibrium constant, and calculate Kb for the reaction of each of the following ions as a base. (a) sulfate ion (b) citrate ionarrow_forward
- 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. Anth-H(aq) Anth(aq) + H+ (aq) Ka = 1.3 107arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a solution that consists of 0.20 M ammonia, NH3, and 0.20 M ammonium chloride, NH4Cl?arrow_forwardDoes the pH of the solution increase, decrease, or stay the same when you (a) Add solid sodium oxalate, Na2C2O4, to 50.0 mL of 0.015-M oxalic acid? (b) Add solid ammonium chloride to 100. mL of 0.016-M HCl? (c) Add 20.0 g NaCl to 1.0 L of 0.012-M sodium acetate, NaCH3COO?arrow_forward
- The pH of an aqueous solution of acetic acid (CH3COOH) is 2.0. What is the initial molar concentration of CH3COOH, if its acid ionization constant is Ka = 1.8×10–5?arrow_forwardWhat is the concentration of calcium ion, Ca2+ (in x 10-3 M) in a solution of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, that has a pH of 12.25?arrow_forwardYou have two different concentrations of a buffer solution, 2.0 M and 0.20 M, to which 0.01 mol HCl has been added. Which of these solutions has the higher buffer capacity? In other words, which would be able to resist pH via the addition of acid longer?arrow_forward
- If the molar concentration of Ca(OH)2 in a saturated solution is 2.12 X 10-2 M, determine the pH of the saturated solution:arrow_forwardMethanoic acid is also called formic acid. It has the chemical formula HCOOH(l). It is a colourless fuming liquid that is mainly used as a preservative. It exhibits the following equilibrium in water:HCOOH(aq) + H2O(l) → HCOO–(aq) + H3O+(aq) 4) The concentration of the hydroxide ion, OH-(aq), in an aqueous solution is 2.5 x 10–3 mol/L. What is the pH of the solution? PLEASE HELP THIS IS VERY URGENTarrow_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
