- A solution has a pH of 4.5. What would be the color of the solution if each of the following indicators were added? (See Fig. 14-8.) a. methyl orange b. alizarin c. bromcresol green d. phenolphthaleinarrow_forwardCalculate the pH of solutions that are 0.25 M formic acid and 0.40 M sodium formate. 0.50 M benzoic acid and 0.15 M sodium benzoate.arrow_forwardEstimate the pH that results when the following two solutions are mixed. a) 50 mL of 0.3 M CH3COOH and 50 mL of 0.4 M KOH b) 100 mL of 0.3 M CH3COOH and 50 mL of 0.4 M NaOH c) 150 mL of 0.3 M CH3COOH and 100 mL of 0.3 M Ba(OH)2 d) 200 mL of 0.3 M CH3COOH and 100 mL of 0.3 M Ba(OH)2arrow_forward
- Choose a weak-acid/weak-base conjugate pair from which you could prepare a buffer solution with pH = 7.5. Explain how you chose the conjugate pair. Calculate the ratio [weak base]/[weak acid) required to give pH = 7.5.arrow_forwardWhat is a salt? List some anions that behave as weak bases in water. List some anions that have no basic properties in water. List some cations that behave as weak acids in water. List some cations that have no acidic properties in water. Using these lists, give some formulas for salts that have only weak base properties in water. What strategy would you use to solve for the pH of these basic salt solutions? Identify some salts that have only weak acid properties in water. What strategy would you use to solve for the pH of these acidic salt solutions? Identify some salts that have no acidic or basic properties in water (produce neutral solutions). When a salt contains both a weak acid ion and a weak base ion, how do you predict whether the solution pH is acidic, basic, or neutral?arrow_forwardWater is accidentally added to 350.00 mL of a stock solution of 6.00 M HCI. A 75.00-mL sample of the diluted solution is titrated to pH 7.00 with 78.8 mL of 4.85 M NaOH. How much water was accidentally added? (Assume that volumes are additive.)arrow_forward
