Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation
- You have prepared dilute solutions of equal molar concentrations of HC2H3O2 (acetic arid), HNO2, HF, and HCN. Rank the solutions from the highest pH to the lowest pH. (Refer to Table 16.1.)arrow_forwardWhat are the concentrations of hydrogen ion and acetate ion in a solution of 0.10 M acetic acid, HC2H3O2? What is the pH of the solution? What is the degree of ionization? See Table 16.1 for the value of Ka.arrow_forwardExercise 16.2 Calculate [H+] in a solution in which [OH]=2.0102M. Is this solution acidic, neutral, or basic?arrow_forward
- Exercise 16.7 Calculate the pH of a solution of 5.0103M HC1.arrow_forwardBenzoic acid, HC7H5O2, and its salts are used as food preservatives. What is the concentration of benzoic acid in an aqueous solution of 0.015 M sodium benzoate? What is the pH of the solution? Ka for benzoic acid is 6.3 105.arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of an aqueous solution that is 0.0030 M pyruvic acid, HC3H3O3? (Pyruvic acid forms during the breakdown of glucose in a cell.)arrow_forward
- ercise 15.4 Give the concentrations of the ions in each of the following solutions: 10 M Na2CO3 0 10 M Al2(SO4) 3arrow_forwardExercise 16.1 Which of the following represent conjugate acid—base pairs? a. H2O, H2O+ b. OH-, HNO3 c. H2SO4, SO42-d. HC2H3O2, C2H3O2-arrow_forwardA 0.010 M solution of ammonia, NH3, has a pH of 10.6 at 25C. What is the concentration of hydroxide ion? (One way to solve this problem is to find the pOH first and then calculate the hydroxide-ion concentration.)arrow_forward
- The beaker on the left below represents a buffer solution of a weak acid HA and its conjugate base, A. (Water molecules and spectator ions have been omitted for clarity.) a Which beaker on the right, X or Y, depicts the solution after the addition of two formula units of NaOH? b How many HCl molecules can be added to the original buffer solution before the buffer capacity is exceeded? c Draw a picture of the solution where the buffer capacity has been exceeded by the addition of HCl.arrow_forwardIdentify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base in each of the following reactions. Write the chemical equations using electron-dot formulas. a. b. O2 + CO2 CO32arrow_forwardQuinine is an alkaloid, or naturally occurring base, used to treat malaria. A 0.0015 M solution of quinine has a pH of 9.84. The basicity of alkaloids is due to a nitrogen atom that picks up protons from water in the same manner as ammonia does. What is Kb?arrow_forward
