- A 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_forwardExplain the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid.arrow_forwardWhat is the freezing point of vinegar, which is an aqueous solution of 5.00% acetic acid, HC2H3O2, by mass (d=1.006g/cm3)?arrow_forward
- The pH of a 0.10-M solution of propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH, a weak organic acid, is measured at equilibrium and found to be 2.93 at 25 °C. Calculate the Ka of propanoic acid.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_forwardUsing 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_forward
- Equal 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_forwardPlease help me on this im despreate :(arrow_forwardComplete the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction between a weak acid and a strong base.
