Question

a) NH3 is a weak base (?b=1.8×10−5) and so the salt NH4Cl acts as a weak acid. What is the pH of a solution that is 0.060 M in NH4Cl at 25 °C?

b) HClO is a weak acid (?a=4.0×10−8) and so the salt NaClO acts as a weak base. What is the pH of a solution that is 0.056 M in NaClO at 25 °C?

c) Given that Ka for HClO is 4.0×10−8 at 25 °C, what is the value of Kb for ClO- at 25 °C?

ci) Given that Kb for C6H5NH2  is 1.7×10−9 at 25 °C, what is the value of Ka for C6⁢H5⁢NH3+ at 25 °C?

d) What is the Ka reaction of HCN?

di) The Ka of HCN is 6.2×10−10. What is the Kb value for CN− at 25 °C?
