Calculate the pH at 25 °C of a 0.20 M solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaCIO) . Note that hypochlorous acid (HCIO) is a weak acid with a pK, of 7.50. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

Which of the following conditions indicate an acidic solution? pH = 3.04 (H+| > 1.0 X IO’7 A/ pOH = 4.51 |OH-J = 3.21 X 10"12 M

Without writing an equation, specify the molecular ratio in which each of the following acidbase pairs will react. a. HCl and KOH b. H2CO3 and KOH c. HCl and Ca(OH)2 d. H2CO3 and Ca(OH)2

Two strategies are also followed when solving for the pH of a base in water. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a strong base in water? List the strong bases mentioned in the text that should be committed to memory. Why is calculating the pH of Ca(OH)2 solutions a little more difficult than calculating the pH of NaOH solutions? Most bases are weak bases. The presence of what element most commonly results in basic properties for an organic compound? What is present on this element in compounds that allows it to accept a proton? Table 13-3 and Appendix 5 of the text list Kb values for some weak bases. What strategy is used to solve for the pH of a weak base in water? What assumptions are made when solving for the pH of weak base solutions? If the 5% rule fails, how do you calculate the pH of a weak base in water?

Students are often surprised to learn that organic acids, such as acetic acid, contain OH groups. Actually, all oxyacids contain hydroxyl groups. Sulfuric acid, usually written as H2SO4, has the structural formula SO2(OH)2, where S is the central atom. Identify the acids whose structural formulas are shown below. Why do they behave as acids, while NaOH and KOH are bases? a. SO(OH)2 b. ClO2(OH) c. HPO(OH)2

Hydrogen, H2S, and sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2 are mixed in water. Using Table 16.2, write a balanced equation for the acid-base reaction that could in principle, occur. Does the equilibrium lie toward the products or the reactants?

In each of the following acid-base reactions, identify the Brnsted acid and base on the left and their conjugate partners on the right. (a) HCO2H(aq) + H2O() HCO2(aq) + H3O+(aq) (b) NH3(aq) + H2S(aq) NH4+(aq) + HS(aq) (c) HSO4(aq) + OH(aq) SO42(aq) + H2O+()

5. Given the general equation illustrating the reaction of the acid HA in water, HA(aq)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+A(aq)explain why water is considered a base in the Brønsted-Lowry model.

Develop a set of rules by which you could predict the pH for solutions of strong or weak acids and strong or weak bases without using a calculator. Your predictions need to be accurate to 1 pH unit. Assume that you know the concentration of the acid or base and that for the weak acids and bases you can look up the pKa (log Ka) or Ka values. What rules would work to predict pH?

Acids You make a solution by dissolving 0.0010 mol of HCl in enough water to make 1.0 L of solution. a Write the chemical equation for the reaction of HCl(aq) and water. b Without performing calculations, give a rough estimate of the pH of the HCl solution. Justify your answer. c Calculate the H3O+ concentration and the pH of the solution. d Is there any concentration of the base OH present in this solution of HCl(aq)? If so, where did it come from? e If you increase the OH concentration of the solution by adding NaOH, does the H3O+ concentration change? If you think it does, explain why this change occurs and whether the H3O+ concentration increases or decreases. f If you were to measure the pH of 10 drops of the original HCl solution, would you expect it to be different from the pH of the entire sample? Explain. g Explain how two different volumes of your original HCl solution can have the same pH yet contain different moles of H3O+. h If 1.0 L of pure water were added to the HCl solution, would this have any impact on the pH? Explain.
