(a)
Interpretation:
The salt,
Concept introduction:
Solutions of substances in which the ions are the conducting species are called electrolytes. The ionization depends on the nature of the substance. Some substances are more ionized in solution. Other substances are ionized to a lesser extent.

Which of the diagrams represents the substance that is the strongest electrolyte?arrow_forward
- Using the diagrams shown in Problem 10-117, which of the solutions would have the greatest buffer capacity, that is, greatest protection against pH change, when the following occurs? a. A strong acid is added to the solution. b. A strong base is added to the solution.arrow_forwardThe weak base, CIO (hypochlorite ion), is used in the form of NaCIO as a disinfectant in swimming pools and water treatment plants. What are the concentrations of HCIO and OH and the pH of a 0.015 M solution of NaCIO?arrow_forwardEqual molar quantities of ammonia and sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) are mixed. (a) Write a balanced, net ionic equation for the acid-base reaction that can, in principle, occur. (b) Does the equilibrium lie to the right or left?arrow_forward
- A solution of sodium cyanide, NaCN, has a pH of 12.10. How many grams of NaCN are in 425 mL of a solution with the same pH?arrow_forwardWrite two BrnstedLowry acid-base reactions and show how they represent proton-transfer reactions.arrow_forwardA Liquid HF undergoes an autoionization reaction: 2HFH2F++F (a) Is KF an acid or a base in this solvent? (b) Perchloric acid, HCIO4, is a strong acid in liquid HF. Write the chemical equation for the ionization reaction. (c) Ammonia is a strong base in this solvent. Write the chemical equation for the ionization reaction. (d) Write the net ionic equation for the neutralization of perchloric acid with ammonia in this solvent.arrow_forward
- - pH of Saliva The pH of saliva is normally in the range of 6.4 to 7.0. However, when a person is ill, the person's saliva becomes more acidic. (a) When Marco is sick, he tests the pH of his saliva and finds that it is 5.5. What is the hydrogen ion concentra- tion of his saliva? (b) Will the hydrogen ion concentration in Marco's saliva increase or decrease as he gets better? (c) After Marco recovers, he tests the pH of his saliva, and it is 6.5. Was the saliva more acidic or less acidic when he was sick?arrow_forwardDetermine whether each compound is more soluble in an acidic solution than it is in a neutral solution.(a) BaF2 (b) AgI (c) Ca(OH)2arrow_forward6 4 The active ingredient formed by aspirin in the body is salicylic acid, CH₂OH(CO₂H). The carboxyl group (-CO,H) acts as a weak acid. The phenol group (an OH group bonded to an aromatic ring) also acts as an acid but a much weaker acid. What are all of the ionic and molecular species present in a 0.001-M aqueous solution of CH₂OH(CO₂H) in order of descending concentration? 4 A B C D [H₂O]> [C_H_OH(CO₂H)]> [H*]>[C_H₂OH(CO₂) -]>[C_H₂O(CO₂H¯)]> [OH-] [H₂O]>[H+]>[C_H₂OH(CO₂H)]>[C_H_OH(CO₂)¯]>[C.H₂O(CO₂H¯)]>[OH-] [H₂O]> [C_H_OH(CO₂H)]> [CH₂OH(CO₂)-]> [C_H_O(CO₂H-)]> [OH-]>[H+] [+H]] ] <[0²H]arrow_forward
