Interpretation:
The acidic and basic nature should be determined given the resulting solution of the statement.
Concept introduction:
Strong acid: Acid solutions contains hydrigen ions, the higher concentration of hydrogen ions, the lower
pKa: It is introduced as an index to express the acidity of weak acids, where
An acid-base reaction reaction is represented as written below.
The base will take up the proton from acid and form its conjugate acid and simultaneously acid will form its conjugate base. The equilibrium will be forward or backward can be determined by using the dissociation constants

- ssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.arrow_forwardMagnesium metal (a component of alloys used in aircraft and a reducing agent used in the production of uranium, titanium, and other active metals) is isolated from sea water by the following sequence of reactions: Mg2+(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+Ca2+(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+2HCl(aq)MgCl2(s)+2H2O(l)MgCl2(l)electrolysisMg(s)+Cl2+Cl2(g) Sea water has a density of 1.026 g/cm3 and contains 1272 parts per million of magnesium a5 Mg2+(aq) by mass. What mass, in kilograms, of Ca(OH)2; is required to precipitate 99.9% of the magnesium in 1.00103 L of sea water?arrow_forwardUse the appropriate tables to calculate H for (a) the reaction between MgC03(s) and a strong acid to give Mg2+(aq), CO2(g), and water. (b) the precipitation of iron(III) hydroxide from the reaction between iron(III) and hydroxide ions.arrow_forward

She takes 1.00 g of aspirin, dissolves it in water, and neutralizes it with 17.6 mL of 0.315 M KOH. The equation for the reaction is HAsp(aq)+OH(aq)Asp(aq)+H2OWhat is the molar mass of aspirin?arrow_forwardOne 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_forward
- Gold metal will dissolve only in aqua regia, a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid in a 3:1 volume ratio. The products of the reaction between gold and the concentrated acids are AuCl4-(aq), NO(g), and H2O. The equation for this reaction where HNO3 and HCl are strong acids is Au(s)+4Cl(aq)+4H+(aq)+NO3(aq)AuCl4(aq)+NO(g)+2H2O(a) What stoichiometric ratio of hydrochloric acid to nitric acid should be used? (b) What volumes of 12 M HCl and 16 M are HNO3 required to furnish the Cl- and NO3- ions to react with 25.0 g of gold?arrow_forwardWhat volume of 0.600 M HCl is required to react completely with 2.50 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate? NaHCO3(aq)+HCl(aq)NaCl2(g)+CO2(l)arrow_forwardOn Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?arrow_forward
