- If one mole of the following compounds were each placed into separate beakers containing the same amount of water, rank the Cl(aq) concentrations from highest to lowest (some may be equivalent): KCl, AlCl3, PbCl2, NaCl, HCl, NH3, KOH, and HCN.arrow_forwardConsider the titration curve in Exercise 115 for the titration of Na2Cr3 with HCl. a. If a mixture of NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 was titrated, what would be the relative sizes of V1, and V2? b. If a mixture of NaOH and Na2CO3 was titrated, what would be the relative sizes of V1 and V2? c. A sample contains a mixture of NaHCO3 and Na2CO3. When this sample was titrated with 0.100 M HCl, it took 18.9 mL to reach the first stoichiometric point and an additional 36.7 mL to reach the second stoichiometric point. What is the composition in mass percent of the sample?arrow_forwardGive three example solutions that fit each of the following descriptions. a. a strong electrolyte solution that is very acidic b. a strong electrolyte solution that is slightly acidic c. a strong electrolyte solution that is very basic d. a strong electrolyte solution that is slightly basic e. a strong electrolyte solution that is neutralarrow_forward
- A scientist has synthesized a diprotic organic acid, H2A, with a molar mass of 124.0 g/mol. The acid must be neutralized (forming the potassium salt) for an important experiment. Calculate the volume of 0.221 M KOH that is needed to neutralize 24.93 g of the acid, forming K2A.arrow_forwardThe pH of a solution of Ba(OH)2 is 10.66 at 25 . What is the hydroxide ion concentration in the solution? If the solution volume is 125 mL, what mass of Ba(OH)2 must have been dissolved?arrow_forwardHydrazine, N2H4, can interact with water in two steps. N2H4(aq) + H2O() N2H5+(aq) + OH(aq) Kb1 = 8.5 107 N2H5+(aq) + H2O() N2H62+(aq) + OH(aq) Kb2 = 8.9 1016 (a) What is the concentration of OH, N2H5+ and N2H62+ in a 0.010M aqueous solution of hydrazine? (b) What is the pH of the 0.010M solution hydrazine?arrow_forward
- Consider a 0.10-M H2CO3 solution and a 0.10-M H2SO4 solution. Without doing any detailed calculations, choose one of the following statements that best describes the [H+] of each solution and explain your answer. a. The [H+] is less than 0.10 M. b. The [H+] is 0.10 M. c. The [H+] is between 0.10 M and 0.20 M. d. The [H+] is 0.20M.arrow_forwardFor conjugate acidbase pairs, how are Ka and Kb related? Consider the reaction of acetic acid in water CH3CO2H(aq)+H2O(l)CH3CO2(aq)+H3O+(aq) where Ka = 1.8 105 a. Which two bases are competing for the proton? b. Which is the stronger base? c. In light of your answer to part b. why do we classify the acetate ion (CH3CO2) as a weak base? Use an appropriate reaction to justify your answer. In general, as base strength increases, conjugate acid strength decreases. Explain why the conjugate acid of the weak base NH3 is a weak acid. To summarize, the conjugate base of a weak acid is a weak base and the conjugate acid of a weak base is a weak acid (weak gives you weak). Assuming Ka for a monoprotic strong acid is 1 106, calculate Kb for the conjugate base of this strong acid. Why do conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties in water? List the conjugate bases of the six common strong acids. To tie it all together, some instructors have students think of Li+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ as the conjugate acids of the strong bases LiOH, KOH. RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2. Although not technically correct, the conjugate acid strength of these cations is similar to the conjugate base strength of the strong acids. That is, these cations have no acidic properties in water; similarly, the conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties (strong gives you worthless). Fill in the blanks with the correct response. The conjugate base of a weak acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a weak base is a_____acid. The conjugate base of a strong acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a strong base is a_____ acid. (Hint: Weak gives you weak and strong gives you worthless.)arrow_forwardPhenol, C6H5OH, is a weak organic acid. Suppose 0.515 g of the compound is dissolved in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. The resulting solution is titrated with 0.123 M NaOH. C6H5OH(aq) + OH(aq) C6H5O(aq) + H2O() (a) What is the pH of the original solution of phenol? (b) What are the concentrations of all of the following ions at the equivalence point: Na+, H3O+, OH, and C6H5O? (c) What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?arrow_forward
