- Two strategies are followed when solving for the pH of an acid in water. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a strong acid in water? What major assumptions are made when solving strong acid problems? The best way to recognize strong acids is to memorize them. List the six common strong acids (the two not listed in the text are HBr and HI). Most acids, by contrast, are weak acids. When solving for the pH of a weak acid in water, you must have the Ka value. List two places in this text that provide Ka values for weak acids. You can utilize these tables to help you recognize weak acids. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a weak acid in water? What assumptions are generally made? What is the 5% rule? If the 5% rule fails, how do you calculate the pH of a weak acid in water?arrow_forwardNicotinic acid, C6H5NO2, is found in minute amounts in all living cells, hut appreciable amounts occur in liver, yeast, milk, adrenal glands, white meat, and corn. Whole wheat (lour contains about 60. 0g per gram of flour. One gram (1.00 g) of the acid dissolves in water to give 60. mL of solution having a pH of 2.70. What is the approximate value of Ka for the acid? Nicotinic acidarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is(are) true? Correct the false statements. a. When a base is dissolved in water, the lowest possible pH of the solution is 7.0. b. When an acid is dissolved in water, the lowest possible pH is 0. c. A strong acid solution will have a lower pH than a weak acid solution. d. A 0.0010-M Ba(OH)2 solution has a pOH that is twice the pOH value of a 0.0010-M KOH solution.arrow_forward
- Boron trifluoride, BF3, and diethyl ether, (C2H5)2O, react to produce a compound with the formula BF3 : (C2H5)2O. A coordinate covalent bond is formed between the boron atom on BF3 and the oxygen atom on (C2H5)2O. Write the equation for this reaction, using Lewis electron-dot formulas. Label the Lewis acid and the Lewis base. Determine how many grams of BF3: (C2H5)2O are formed when 9.10 g BF3 and 23.3 g (C2H5)2O are placed in a reaction vessel, assuming that the reaction goes to completion.arrow_forwardCodeine, C23H21NO3, is an alkaloid (Kb = 6 2 109) used as a painkiller and cough suppressant. A solution of codeine is acidified with hydrochloric acid to pH 4.50. What is the ratio of the concentration of the conjugate acid of codeine to that of the base codeine?arrow_forwardEach box represents an acid solution at equilibrium. Squares represent H+ ions. Circles represent anions. (Although the anions have different identities in each figure, they are all represented as circles.) Water molecules are not shown. Assume that all solutions have the same volume. (a) Which figure represents the strongest acid? (b) Which figure represents the acid with the smallest Ka? (c) Which figure represents the acid with the lowest pH?arrow_forward
- A certain sample of rainwater gives a yellow color with methyl red and a yellow color with bromthymol blue. What is the approximate pH of the water? Is the rainwater acidic, neutral, or basic? (See Figure 15.10.)arrow_forwardBarbituric acid. HC4H3N2O3, is used to prepare various barbiturate drugs (used as sedatives). Calculate the concentrations of hydronium ion and barbiturate ion in a 0.10 M solution of the acid. The value of Ka is 9.8 105.arrow_forwardFor 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_forward
