- . How is the strength of an acid related to the fact that a competition for protons exists in aqueous solution between water molecules and the anion of the acid?arrow_forwardYou have a solution of the weak acid HA and add some of the salt NaA to it. What are the major species in the solution? What do you need to know to calculate the pH of the solution, and how would you use this information? How does the pH of the solution of just the HA compare with that of the final mixture? Explain.arrow_forwardWrite the Lewis structures of the reactants and product of each of the following equations, and identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base in each: (a) CS2+SHHCS3 (b) BF3+FBF4 (c) I+SnI2SnI3 (d) Al(OH)3+OHAl(OH)4 (e) F+SO3SFO3arrow_forward
- A chemist takes 8.579 mL of liquid acetic acid, CH₃COOH (molar mass: 60.052 g/mol) with 1.05 g/mL density and mix it with 12.305 g of solid sodium acetate, CH₃COONa (molar mass: 82.0343g/mol) and prepare an aqueous solution of 1.0 L by adding required amount of water. (Acidity constant of CH₃COOH is 1.8x10⁻⁵) What would the pH of the solution be if 0.020 mol HCl added to the solution in a? What would the pH of the solution be if 0.15 mol HCl added to the solution in a? What would the pH of the solution be if 0.17 mol HCl added to the solution in a?.arrow_forward(a) Acid rain is no threat to lakes in areas where the rock is limestone (calcium carbonate), which can neutralize the acid. Wherethe rock is granite, however, no neutralization occurs. How does limestone neutralize acid? (b) Acidic water can be treated withbasic substances to increase the pH, although such a procedure is usually only a temporary cure. Calculate the minimum mass oflime, CaO, needed to adjust the pH of a small lake (V = 4 x 109 L) from 5.0 to 6.5.

- Polymers are not very soluble in water, but their solubility increases if they have charged groups. (a) Case in, a milk protein,contains many —COO⁻ groups on its side chains. How does the solubility of casein vary with pH? (b) Histones are proteins es-sential to the function of DNA. They are weakly basic due to the presence of side chains with —NH2 and =NH groups. How does the solubility of a histone vary with pH?arrow_forwardA solution was prepared by 0.250 moles of ammonium chloride to 500.0 mL of 0.35 M ammonia. Given the KB of NH3 is 1.86 × 10^⁻5, determine the pH of the resultant solution. (You may assume the volume is unchanged.)arrow_forwardDue to the pandemic Covid-19, the uses of hand sanitizers are very important among us. Predict and explain the colour of the solution and pH value when red cabbage indicator was added to the hand sanitizers.arrow_forward
