Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The oxide
Concept Introduction:
Acidic oxide is the one that forms Bronsted acid when reacted with water. Acidic oxides are formed from nonmetals. They are molecular compounds.
Basic oxide is the one that accept a proton from water resulting in formation of hydroxide ions. Basic oxides are formed form metals. They are ionic compounds.
Amphoteric oxides are the ones that react with both acid and base. The elements that are present in the diagonal line starting from beryllium towards polonium and many

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- When carbon dioxide dissolves in water it reacts to produce carbonic acid, H2CO3(aq), which can ionize in two steps. H2CO3(aq)HCO3(aq)+H+(aq)Kc1=4.2107HCO3(aq)CO32(aq)+H+(aq)Kc2=4.81011 Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction H2CO3(aq)CO32(aq)+2H+(aq)arrow_forwardThe hydrogen phthalate ion, C8HsO4, is a weak acid with Ka = 3.91 106. C8H5O4(aq)+H2O(l)C8H4O42(aq)+H3O+(aq) What is the pH of a 0.050 M solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate. KC8H5O4? Note: To find the pH for a solution of the anion, we must take into account that the ion is amphiprotic. It can be shown that, for most cases of amphiprotic ions, the H3O+ concentration is [H3O+]=Ka1Ka2 For phthalic acid, C8H6O4 is Ka1 is 1.12 103, and Ka2 is 3.91 106.arrow_forwardA 0.100 M solution of HOBr has a pH of 5.343. What is Ka for HOBr?arrow_forward
- Some metal oxides, such as Sc2O3, do not react with purewater, but they do react when the solution becomes eitheracidic or basic. Do you expect Sc2O3 to react when the solutionbecomes acidic or when it becomes basic? Write a balancedchemical equation to support your answer.arrow_forwardhow change in pH changes the colour of K2Cr2O7?arrow_forwardThe pH of a 0.2 M solution of CuSO4 is 4.0. Write chemical equations to explain why a solution of this salt is neither basic [from the reaction of SO42-(aq) with water] nor neutral, but acidic.arrow_forward
- Surface water in an open area of the Indian Ocean adjacent to Kenja has an alkalinity 2320 micromoles/liter and a total carbonate concentration of 2.03 x 10^-3 moles/liter. Calculate the concentrations of HCO3- and CO32-, and also the pH of this sea water.arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a 1.278 M NaH2AsO4 solution?arrow_forwardA weak acid, HA, has pKa=6.2. If a solution of NaA (aq) is prepared, what does the pH of the solution need to be adjusted to in order to achieve the following ratios of deprotonated species? A) [A-]/[HA]=0.01 B) [A-]/[HA]=1arrow_forward
