- Follow 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_forwardWhat are the major species in solution after NaHSO4 is dissolved in water? What happens to the pH of the solution as more NaHSO4 is added? Why? Would the results vary if baking soda (NaHCO3) were used instead?arrow_forwardThe acidity of a solution is measured by its pH. If Ht represents the concentration of hydrogen ions (in moles/liter) in the solution, the pH is defined by pH = – log H+ Based on careful measurements and calculations, a chemist examines two solutions and asserts: "The hydrogen ion concentration of Solution A is 158 times greater than the hydrogen ion concentration of Solution B." If the pH of solution B is 3.4, determine the pH of Solution A. Report your answer to one decimal place. Solution A has pH equal to Number (Report to the nearest 0.1)arrow_forward
- Write separate equations representing the reaction of HSO3−(a) as an acid with OH−(b) as a base with HIarrow_forwardThe CO2 we breathe reacts with water in our blood to form the weak acid H2CO3. What mole ratio of H2CO3/HCO3− is required to obtain a pH of 7.40, the pH of blood? (Assume that the Ka of H2CO3 is 4.4 ✕ 10−8.)arrow_forwardA laboratory technician wants to determine the aspirin content of a headache pill by acid-base titration. Aspirin has a Ka of 3.0 x 10−4. If the pill is dissolved in water to give a solution about 0.015 M, what is the pH of this solution? (Neglect dilution effects.) If the solution in the problem above is then titrated against KOH solution, what will be the pH at the stoichiometric point.arrow_forward
- The active ingredient of bleach such as Clorox is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). Its conjugate acid, hypochlorous acid (HClO), has a Ka of 3.0 × 10–8. (a)The undiluted bleach contains roughly 1 M NaClO. Calculate the pH of 1 M NaClO solution. (b)Some applications require extremely diluted bleach solution, such as swimming pools. Suppose the solution in (a) is diluted by 10,000 -fold. Calculate the pH of the diluted solution, and demonstrate that you can still neglect the autoionization of water in your calculation. (c)Suppose the solution in (a) is diluted by 1million-fold, briefly explain how your approach will be different. Write the equation with [H3O+] as the unknown, but you do not need to solve it.arrow_forwardThe active ingredient of bleach such as Clorox is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO).

What changes in the calculations would then have to be made to determine the molar concentrations of the base?arrow_forwardThe active ingredient of bleach such as Clorox is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO).
