- 8-28 Will carbon dioxide be evolved as a gas when sodium bicarbonate is added to an aqueous solution of each compound? Explain. (a) Sulfuric acid (b) Ethanol, C2H5OH (c) Ammonium chloride, NH4CIarrow_forward8-55 We commonly refer to a buffer as consisting of approximately equal molar amounts of a weak acid and its conjugate base—for example, CH3COOH and CH3COO-. Is it also possible to have a buffer consisting of approximately equal molar amounts of a weak base and its conjugate acid? Explain.arrow_forward8-87 The pKavalue of barbituric acid is 5.0. If the H3O+ and barbiturate ion concentrations are each 0.0030 M, what is the concentration of the undissociated barbituric acid?arrow_forward
- 8-50 The usual concentration of HCO3- ions in blood plasma is approximately 24 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). How would you make up 1.00 L of a solution containing this concentration of HCO3- ions?arrow_forward8-86 Following are three organic acids and the pKaof each: butanoic acid, 4.82; barbituric acid, 5.00; and lactic acid, 3.85. (a) What is the Kaof each acid? (b) Which of the three is the strongest acid, and which is the weakest? (c) What information do you need to predict which of the three acids would require the most NaOH to reach a phenolphthalein end point?arrow_forward8-82 Assume that you have a dilute solution of HCI (0.10 M) and a concentrated solution of acetic acid (5.0 M). Which solution is more acidic? Explain.arrow_forward
- 8-44 What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 3.4 g of Ba(OH)2 in enough water to make 450 mL of solution? Assume that Ba(OH)2 ionizes completely in water to Ba2+ and OH- ions. What is the pH of the solution?arrow_forward8-112 Consider an initial 0.040 M hypobromous acid (HOBr) solution at a certain temperature. At equilibrium after partial dissociation, its pH is found to be 5.05. What is the acid ionization constant, Ka, for hypobromous acid at this temperature?arrow_forward8-58 What is the connection between buffer action and Le Chatelier's principle?arrow_forward
- Draw an energy diagram for a reaction with keq = 1. What is the value of ∆G° in this reaction?arrow_forward8-79 (Chemical Connections 8D) Another form of the sprinter's trick is to drink a sodium bicarbonate shake before the event. What would be the purpose of doing so? Give the relevant equations.arrow_forward8-63 The pH of a solution made by dissolving 1.0 mol of propanoic acid and 1.0 mol of sodium propanoate in 1.0 L of water is 4.85. (a) What would the pH be if we used 0.10 mol of each (in 1 L of water) instead of 1.0 mol? (b) With respect to buffer capacity, how would the two solutions differ?arrow_forward
