Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for equation 8.15 has to written.
Concept introduction:
Balanced equation:
If the chemical equation contains the equal number of atoms and charge in both reactant and product side is known as balanced equation.
(b)
Interpretation:
Wheather the bicarbonate ion functioning as acid (or) base has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Acid -Base reaction:
The reaction between acid and base to produce a salt is called acid-base reaction.
Strong Acids: Acids that dissociates into ions completely which results in easy donation of protons are considered as strong acids. Strong acid forms weaker conjugated base.
Weak Acids: Acids that do not easily dissociate into ions completely which has difficulty in proton donation are considered as weak acids. Weak acid forms stronger conjugated base

Chemistry In Context
- Unpolluted rain water has a pH of about 5.5. Acid rain has been shown to have a pH as low as 3.0. Calculate the [H+] ratio of acid rain to unpolluted rain.arrow_forwardA sample of coffee has a pH of 4.3. Calculate the hydronium ion concentration in this coffee. Is the coffee acidic or basic?arrow_forwardDraw a curve similar to that shown in Figure 14.23 for a series of solutions of NH3. Plot [OH-] on the vertical axis and the total concentration of NH3 (both ionized and nonionized NH3 molecules) on the horizontal axis. Let the total concentration of NH3 vary from 11010M to 1102M.arrow_forward
- Figure 14.3 shows the pH of some common solutions. How many times more acidic or basic is each of these compared with a neutral solution? (a) Black coffee (b) Household ammonia (c) Baking soda (d) Vinegararrow_forwardCommon Acids and Bases Use the data in Table 18.8 to answer the following questions. Which substance is the most basic? Which substance is closest to neutral? Which has a concentration of H+=4.01010M ? Which has a pOH of 11.0? How many times more basic is antacid than blood?arrow_forwardThe measured pH of a sample of seawater is 8.30. (a) Calculate the H3O+ concentration. (b) Is the sample acidic or basic?arrow_forward
