A person who overdoses on antacids may neutralize too much stomach acid, which causes an imbalance in the bicarbonate equilibrium in die Wood.
- a. How does blood pH change when this occurs?
- b. In which direction will the bicarbonate equilibrium shift during an Alka-Seltzer® overdose?
- c. What is this condition called?
- d. To treat severe forms of this condition, patients are administered NH4C1, which acts as a weak acid. How does this restore the bicarbonate equilibrium?
- e. In which direction will the bicarbonate equilibrium shift as the pH returns to normal?

- Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, is the active ingredient in die antacid TUMS and has a Ksp value of 8.9 1012. If a 10.0-g sample of Mg(OH)2 is placed in 500.0 mL of solution, calculate the moles of OH ions present. Because the Ksp value for Mg(OH)2 is much less than 1, not a lot of solid dissolves in solution. Explain how Mg(OH)2 works to neutralize large amounts of stomach acid.arrow_forwardWhat is the effect on the amount of CaHPO4 that dissolves and the concentrations of Ca2+ and HPO4- when each of the following are added to a mixture of solid CaHPO4 and water at equilibrium? (a) CaCl2. (b) HCl. (c) KClO4. (d) NaOH. (e) CaHPO4arrow_forwardWhat is the effect on the amount of solid Mg(OH)2 that dissolves and the concentrations of Mg2+ and OH- when each of the following are added to a mixture of solid Mg(OH)2 and water at equilibrium? (a) Mgcl2. (b) KOH. (c) HClO4. (d) NaNO3. (e) Mg(OH)2arrow_forward
- To a beaker with 500 mL of water are added 95 mg of Ba(NO3)2, 95 mg of Ca(NO3)2, and 100.0 mg of Na2CO3. After equilibrium is established, will there be • no precipitate? • a precipitate of BaCO3 only? • a precipitate of CaCO3 only? • a precipitate of both CaCO3 and BaCO3? Assume that the volume of the solution is still 500.0 mL after the addition of the salts.arrow_forwardCalcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, dissolves in water to the extent of 1.78 g per liter. What is the value of Ksp for Ca(OH)2? Ca(OH)2(s)Ca2+(aq)+2OH(aq)arrow_forwardHow is the strength of an acid related to the position of its ionization equilibrium? Write the equations for the dissociation (ionization) of HCI, HNO3, and HClO4in water. Since all these acids are strong acids, what does this indicate about the basicity of the Cl-, NO3, and ClO4ions? Are aqueous solutions of NaCl, NaNO3, or NaClO4basic?arrow_forward
- What is the effect on the concentrations of NO2-, HNO2, and OH- when the following are added to a solution of KNO2 in water: (a) HCl. (b) HNO2. (c) NaOH. (d) NaCl. (e) KNO The equation for the equilibrium is: NO2(aq)+H2O(l)HNO2+OH(aq)arrow_forwardMost naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.arrow_forwardIron concentrations greater than 5.4106 M in water used for laundry purposes can cause staining.

- When 250 mg of SrF2, strontium fluoride, is added to 1.00 L of water, the salt dissolves to a very small extent. SrF2(s)Sr2+(aq)+2F(aq) At equilibrium, the concentration of Sr2+ is found to be 1.03 103 M. What is the value of Ksp for SrF2?arrow_forward12.17 Which of the following is more likely to precipitate sulfate ions?
