Concept Introduction:
The reaction of an acid HA with a base BOH can be written as:
Here BA stands for salt and the reaction named as neutralization reaction. Thus the reaction of an acid with a base results in the formation of salt and water. The salt is an ionic compound that is formed by the combination of the cation (
Acid | Base | Salt |
Strong | Strong | Neutral |
Strong | Weak | Acidic |
Weak | Strong | Basic |
Weak | Weak | Neutral |

- Two strategies are also followed when solving for the pH of a base in water. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a strong base in water? List the strong bases mentioned in the text that should be committed to memory. Why is calculating the pH of Ca(OH)2 solutions a little more difficult than calculating the pH of NaOH solutions? Most bases are weak bases. The presence of what element most commonly results in basic properties for an organic compound? What is present on this element in compounds that allows it to accept a proton? Table 13-3 and Appendix 5 of the text list Kb values for some weak bases. What strategy is used to solve for the pH of a weak base in water? What assumptions are made when solving for the pH of weak base solutions? If the 5% rule fails, how do you calculate the pH of a weak base in water?arrow_forwardStudents are often surprised to learn that organic acids, such as acetic acid, contain OH groups. Actually, all oxyacids contain hydroxyl groups. Sulfuric acid, usually written as H2SO4, has the structural formula SO2(OH)2, where S is the central atom. Identify the acids whose structural formulas are shown below. Why do they behave as acids, while NaOH and KOH are bases? a. SO(OH)2 b. ClO2(OH) c. HPO(OH)2arrow_forwardA base is a substance that dissociates in water into one or more ______ ions and one or more ________. a.hydrogen . . . anions b.hydrogen . . . cations c.hydroxide . . . anions d.hydroxide . . . cationsarrow_forward

(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 why the pH does not change significantly when a small amount of an acid or a base is added to a solution that contains equal amounts of the acid H3PO4 and a salt of its conjugate base NaH2PO4.arrow_forward
