Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The classification of hypochlorous acid,
Concept introduction:
Arrhenius gave the definitions of acid and base. According to him, “An acid is a substance which ionizes in water to produce hydrogen ions.” A stronger acid has high degree of ionization and weaker acid has low degree of ionization.
(b)
Interpretation:
The classification of chlorous acid,
Concept introduction:
Arrhenius gave the definitions of acid and base. According to him, “An acid is a substance which ionizes in water to produce hydrogen ions.” A stronger acid has high degree of ionization and weaker acid has low degree of ionization.
(c)
Interpretation:
The classification of chloric acid,
Concept introduction:
Arrhenius gave the definitions of acid and base. According to him, “An acid is a substance which ionizes in water to produce hydrogen ions.” A stronger acid has high degree of ionization and weaker acid has low degree of ionization.
(d)
Interpretation:
The classification of perchloric acid,
Concept introduction:
Arrhenius gave the definitions of acid and base. According to him, “An acid is a substance which ionizes in water to produce hydrogen ions.” A stronger acid has high degree of ionization and weaker acid has low degree of ionization.

- A solution of sodium cyanide, NaCN, has a pH of 12.10. How many grams of NaCN are in 425 mL of a solution with the same pH?arrow_forwardssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.arrow_forwardOne half liter (500. mL) of 2.50 M HCl is mixed with 250. mL of 3.75 M HCl. Assuming the total solution volume after mixing is 750. mL, what is the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution? What is its pH?arrow_forward
- Classify each of the following as a strong or weak acid or base. a NH3 b HCNO c Mg(OH)2 d HClO3arrow_forwardDescribe some physical and chemical properties of acids and bases. What is meant by a strong acid or base? Are strong acids and bases also strong electrolytes? Give several examples of strong acids and strong bases.arrow_forwardFollow the directions of Question 19 for the following acids: (a) hypochlorous acid (b) formic acid, HCHO2 (c) acetic acid, HC2H3O2 (d) hydrobromic acid (e) sulfurous acidarrow_forward
- Equal quantities of the hypothetical strong acid HX, weak acid HA, and weak base BZ are added to separate beakers of water, producing the solutions depicted in the drawings. In the drawings, the relative amounts of each substance present in the solution (neglecting the water) are shown. Identify the acid or base that was used to produce each of the solutions (HX, HA, or BZ).arrow_forwardPhosphoric acid, H3PO4, has three protons that can ionize. Write the equations for its three ionization reactions, each of which is a dynamic equilibrium.arrow_forward3.102 Classify the following compounds as acids or bases, weak or strong. (a) perchloric acid, (b) cesium hydroxide, (c) carbonic acid, H2CO3, (d) ethylamine, C2H5NH2arrow_forward
- Write a net ionic equation for any precipitation reaction that occurs when 1 M solutions of the following are mixed. (a) copper(II) sulfate and sodium chloride (b) manganese(II) nitrate and ammonium hydroxide (c) silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid (d) nickel(II) sulfate and potassium hydroxide (e) ammonium carbonate and sodium nitratearrow_forwardOranges and grapefruits are known as citrus fruits because their acidity comes mainly from citric acid, H3C6H5O7. Calculate the concentration of citric acid in a solution if a 30.00-mL sample is neutralized by 15.10 mL of 0.0100 M KOH. Assume that three acidic hydrogens of each citric acid molecule are neutralized in the reaction.arrow_forwardConsider the following generic equation OH(aq)+HB(aq) B(aq)+H2OFor which of the following pairs would this be the correct prototype equation for the acid-base reaction in solution? If it is not correct, write the proper equation for the acid-base reaction between the pair. (a) hydrochloric acid and pyridine, C5H5N (b) sulfuric acid and rubidium hydroxide (c) potassium hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid (d) ammonia and hydriodic acid (e) strontium hydroxide and hydrocyanic acidarrow_forward
