Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The molarity of the HCl solution needs to be calculated if the pH of saturated
Concept introduction:
As per the Bronsted-Lowry theory of bases and acids, proton acceptors are bases and proton donors are acids. Molecule which can either accept or donate the proton are known as amphiprotic. So, an amphiprotic act as either base or acid. Hydrogen sulfate ion, hydrogen carbonate ion, amino acids and water are common illustrations of amphiprotic molecules. Because they might donate the proton, all the amphiprotic species have hydrogen atom.
Molarity of any solution is defined as number of moles of solute in 1 L of the solution.

- One half liter (500. mL) of 2.50 M HCl is mixed with 250. mL of 3.75 M HCl. Assuming the total solution volume after mixing is 750. mL, what is the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution? What is its pH?arrow_forwardA mountain lake that is 4.0 km × 6.0 km with an average depth of 75 m has an H+(aq) concentration of 1.3 × 10−6 M. Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that would have to be added to the lake to change the H+(aq) concentration to 6.3 × 10−8 M. Assume that all the carbonate is converted to carbon dioxide, which bubbles out of the solution.arrow_forwardAccording to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?arrow_forward
