Chapter 13, Problem 161AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The acids are to be identified from the given structural formula. The explanation of the fact that the given compounds behave as acid whereas $\text{NaOH}$ and $\text{KOH}$ behaves as base is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The acid in which acidic protons are attached to oxygen atom is known as oxyacid.

If a compound contains ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ion, then it is an acid whereas if a compound contain ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ion, then it is a base.

To identify: The acids from the given structural formula of $\text{SO}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{2}}$; the reason that $\text{SO}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{2}}$ behaves as acid whereas $\text{NaOH}$ and $\text{KOH}$ behaves as base.

If a compound contains ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ion, then it is an acid whereas if a compound contain ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ion, then it is a base.

To identify: The acids from the given structural formula of ${\text{ClO}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{OH}\right)$; the reason that ${\text{ClO}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{OH}\right)$ behaves as acid whereas $\text{NaOH}$ and $\text{KOH}$ behaves as base.

If a compound contains ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ion, then it is an acid whereas if a compound contain ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ion, then it is a base.

To identify: The acids from the given structural formula of $\text{HPO}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{2}}$; the reason that $\text{HPO}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{2}}$ behaves as acid whereas $\text{NaOH}$ and $\text{KOH}$ behaves as base.
