Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.53QE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether Solution A or Solution B in each measurement is a strong or weak acid has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Conductivity is utilized to determine the concentration of ions in a solution. The conductivity is directly proportional to the concentrations of the ions.
The concentration-conductivity relationship between strong and weak acids is different. At same concentration, the conductivity of strong acid solution is higher than weak acid because strong acids dissociate completely.
At same concentration, the conductivity of weak acid solution is lower than strong acid because weak acid dissociates partially into ions.

1. Nitric acid and nitrous acid are two acids associated with acid deposition.
a. I Ise the information in the table to identify which acid is a strong acid and which
a weak acid. Support your reasoning without the use of a calculation.
The concentration of both acids are the same, but the pH of nitric acid is lower.
So, nitric acid is the stronger acid and nitrous is
Answer: makes an acid strong because more hydronium ion produced.
weak. Lower pH
b. Support your answer to question 1.a. using a calculation.
HNO3 -> H++ NO3-
LHNO33-L4+]=0.jM
Answer:
pH = log (H+)-log (0.1)
=1.0
Answer:
HNO₂ H+NO₂
c. Identify one other difference that you would expect if you tested these two
solutions. Include the name of the test, the expected results for each solution,
and the reasoning for the expected difference.
