- For oxyacids, how does acid strength depend on a. the strength of the bond to the acidic hydrogen atom? b. the electronegativity of the element bonded to the oxygen atom that bears the acidic hydrogen? c. the number of oxygen atoms? How does the strength of a conjugate base depend on these factors? What type of solution forms when a nonmetal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide. What type of solution forms when a metal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide.arrow_forwardArsenic acid (H3AsO4) is a moderately weak triprotic acid. Write equations showing its stepwise dissociation. Which of the three anions formed in these reactions will be the strongest Brnsted base? Which will be the weakest Brnsted base? Explain your answers.arrow_forwardWrite equations to illustrate the acid-base reaction when each of the following pairs of Brnsted acids and bases are combined: Acid Base a.HOCl H2O b.HClO4 NH3 c.H2O NH2 d.H2O OCl e.HC2O4 H2Oarrow_forward
- Classify the solutions represented in Exercises 9.27 and 9.29 as acidic, basic, or neutral.arrow_forwardYou are asked to determine whether an unknown white solid is acidic or basic. You also need to say whether the acid or base is weak or strong. You are given the molar mass of the solid and told that it is soluble in water. Describe an experiment that you can perform to obtain the desired characteristics of the white solid.arrow_forwardEach box represents an acid solution at equilibrium. Squares represent H+ ions, and circles represent the anion. Water molecules are not shown. Which figure represents a strong acid? Which figure is a weak acid?arrow_forward
- In a particular solution, acetic acid is 11% ionized at 25 C. Calculate the pH of the solution and the mass of acetic acid dissolved to yield 1.00L of solution.arrow_forward. Consider 0.25 M solutions of the following salts: NaCl. RbOC1, KI, Ba(ClO4),, and NH4NO3. For each salt, indicate whether the solution is acidic, basic, or neutral.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid.arrow_forward
- Write a formula for the conjugate base formed when each of the following behaves as a Brnsted acid: a. HSO3 b. HPO42 c. HClO3 d. CH3NH3+ e. H2C2O4arrow_forwardSolution A has a pH of 2.0. Solution B has a pH of 5.0 Which solution is more acidic? Based on the H+ ion concentrations in the two solutions, how many times more acidic?arrow_forwardUsing an acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer solution, what ratio of conjugate base to acid will you need to maintain the pH at 5.00? Describe how you would prepare such a solution.arrow_forward
