(A) hydroxyl (B) carbonyl (C) amino (D) phosphatearrow_forward(a) Draw the Lewis structures for at least four species thathave the general formula where X and Y may be the same or different, and n mayhave a value from +1 to -2. (b) Which of the compoundsis likely to be the strongest Brønsted base?arrow_forwardSolve the following Given that pH = 13, 7.5 , 7.4 find: (a) pOH (b) H3O+ (c) OH-arrow_forward
- 2-11 2.19] A solution has an H+ concentration of 10-5 M. (a) What is the pH of this solution? (b) What is the pOH (Assume that the temperature of the solution is 25°C.) Answer: (a) 5 (b) 9 BMarrow_forwardWould CH3NH3C2H3O2 (salt) be neutral, basic, acidic or cannot be determined?arrow_forwardWhy is (CH3)3Cl considered to be a Lewis Acid?arrow_forward
- Which is the stronger base, (CH3)3N or H2 BO3− ?arrow_forwardFor the following five reactions: (i) Cl− + AlCl3 → AlCl4−(ii) (CH3)3N + HCl → (CH3)3NHCl(iii) OH− + H3O+ → 2H2O(iv) Co3+ + 6NH3 → Co(NH3)6(v) F− + SiF4 → SiF5− Identify the Lewis acids. Choose from the list below and enter the five letters in order.

- Consider two acids: HCO2H (formic acid, pKa = 3.8) and pivalic acid [(CH3)3CCO,H, pK = 5.0]. (a) Which acid has the larger K? (b) Which acid is the stronger acid? (c) Which acid forms the stronger conjugate base? (d) When each acid is dissolved in water, for which acid does the equilibrium lie further to the right? %3D The pKa values in Table 2.1 span a large range (-7 to 50). The pK, scale is logarithmic. small difference in pK, translates into a large numerical difference, For example, the diffe between the pK, of NH3 (38) and CH2=CH, (44) is six pKa units. This means that NH, is one million times more acidic than CH,=CH,.arrow_forward(a) Calculate [OH-] of a 4.40×10-1 M aqueous solution of triethylamine ((C2H5)3N, Kb = 4.0×10-4). (b)Calculate the pH of the above solution.arrow_forwardBenzoic acid (C6H5COOH) and aniline (C6H5NH2) areboth derivatives of benzene. Benzoic acid is an acid withKa = 6.3 x10-5 and aniline is a base with Ka = 4.3 x10-10. (a) What are the conjugate base of benzoic acid andthe conjugate acid of aniline? (b) Anilinium chloride(C6H5NH3Cl) is a strong electrolyte that dissociates intoanilinium ions (C6H5NH3+) and chloride ions. Which willbe more acidic, a 0.10 M solution of benzoic acid or a 0.10M solution of anilinium chloride? (c) What is the value ofthe equilibrium constant for the following equilibrium?C6H5COOH(aq) + C6H5NH2(aq) ⇌ C6H5COO-(aq) + C6H5NH3+(aq)arrow_forward
