Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To write the balanced equation and the net direction of the reaction along with the explanation of the observation.
Concept introduction: If a strong acid reacts with a strong base and produces a weak base and weak acid, then the net direction of the reaction will be towards the right. Similarly, when a weak acid reacts with a weak base to produce strong acid and a strong base, then the net direction of the reaction will be towards the left.
(b)
Interpretation: To write the balanced equation and also the net direction of the reaction along with the explanation of the observation.

- A solution contains Ca2+ and Pb2+ ions, both at a concentration of 0.010 M. You wish to separate the two ions from each other as completely as possible by precipitating one but not the other using aqueous Na2SO4 as the precipitating agent. (a) Which will precipitate first as sodium sulfate is added, CaSO4 or PbSO4? (b) What will be the concentration of the first ion that precipitates (Ca2+ or Pb2+) when the second, more soluble salt begins to precipitate?arrow_forwardMost naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.arrow_forwardWrite a net ionic equation for the reaction with OH- by which antimony(III) hydroxide dissolves when more OH- is addedarrow_forward

When the sample is incubated with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, acetylcholine is converted to choline and acetic acid, which dissociates to yield acetate and a hydrogen ion.

When incubated with acetylcholinesterase, the pH of the solution decreased to 6.89. Assuming there was no buffer in the assay mixture, determine the number of moles of acetylcholine in the 11 mL sample.arrow_forward

At the point where you have added precisely 12.00 mL of the NaOH titrant, which TWO of the following species are the major species (accounting for reactions between the phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide)? Which is present at higher concentration, which at lower concentration? Classify each of the species as ONE of the following: N = not a major species L = major species, lower concentration H = major species, higher concentration Enter N, L, or H for each of these. (There should be one L, one H, and the rest should be N. No partial credit.)
