- Write equations that show H2PO4- acting both as an acid and as a base.arrow_forwardWill the following oxides give acidic, basic, or neutral solutions when dissolved in water? Write reactions to justify your answers. a. CaO b. SO2 c. Cl2Oarrow_forwardEthanol (ethyl alcohol), CH3CH2OH, can act as a BrnstedLowry acid. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as an acid with hydroxide ion, OH. Ethanol can also react as a BrnstedLowry base. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as a base with hydronium ion, H3O+. Explain how you arrived at these chemical equations. Both of these reactions can also be considered Lewis acid base reactions. Explain this.arrow_forward
- Determine the hydrogen ion or hydroxide ion concentration in each of the following solutions, as appropriate. (a) a solution in which [H3O+] = 9.02 1010 M (b) a solution in which [OH] = 1.06 1011 Marrow_forwardThe dihydrogen phosphate ion has the ability to act as an acid in the presence of a base and as a base in the presence of an acid. What is this property called? Illustrate this behavior with water by writing BrnstedLowry acidbase reactions. Also illustrate this property by selecting a common acid and base to react with the dihydrogen phosphate ion.arrow_forwardPure liquid ammonia ionizes in a manner similar to that of water. (a) Write the equilibrium for the autoionization of liquid ammonia. (b) Identify the conjugate acid form and the base form of the solvent. (c) Is NaNH2 an acid or a base in this solvent? (d) Is ammonium bromide an acid or a base in this solvent?arrow_forward
- Consider the following four biological solutions: (1) bile, pH 8.0, (2) blood, pH 7.4, (3) urine, pH 6.0, and (4) gastric juice, pH 1.6. a. Which solution has the lowest [H3O+]? b. Which solution has the lowest [OH]? c. List the solutions in order of decreasing acidity. d. List the solutions in order of increasing basicity.arrow_forwardHome gardeners spread aluminum sulfate powder around plants to increase the acidity of the soil. Describe the chemistry at the nanoscale level for such a soil treatment.arrow_forward
