Consider the following acidic equilibrium: H₂CO₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq). If you add NaHCO₃ to this solution, which of the following will occur?
A) The reaction quotient will decrease.
B) The reaction will shift in the reverse direction.
C) The equilibrium constant will increase.
D) No changes to the equilibrium positions will take place.
Swimming pool disinfectants produce hypochlorous acid upon dissolution. The weak acid ionizes as follows:
HClO (aq) ⇄ H+ (aq) + ClO‒ (aq) Ka=3.0 x 10 ‒8
As strong oxidizing agents, both acid and its conjugate base kill bacteria. However, too high [HClO] is irritating to swimmers’ eyes and too high [ClO‒] will cause the ions to decompose in sunlight. The recommended pH to circumvent both problems is 7.8. Determine the ratio of the weak acid and its conjugate base at this pH.

- You found a bottle of aqueous solution in the laboratory cabinet. Unfortunately, the label has been eroded and you could not recognize it. To the best of your recollection, it may be one of the following solutions: HCl CH3COOH CH3CH2COOH A mixture of HF and NaF (both of substantial amount) A mixture of H3PO4 and NaH2PO4 (both of substantial amount) NH4Cl NaHCO3 In order to identify the solution, you conduct the following experiments: Using a pH meter, you determine the pH of the solution to be 3.00. You dilute 20 mL of the solution with water to a total volume of 200 mL and measure the pH again, this time it reads 3.50. You take some volume of the solution, add phenolphthalein, and titrate it with NaOH solution until the mixture turns pink. You record the volume of the required titrant as Vt and the pH meter reads 9.05. In a separate flask, you take the same volume of the unknown solution as in step iii and titrate it with the same NaOH…arrow_forwardYou found a bottle of aqueous solution in the laboratory cabinet.
