Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The anion formed from the given hydrosulfuric acid
Introduction:
According to Bronsted-Lowry concept, an acid is a species that can easily donate a proton and the species that accepts this donated proton is known as a base. The species that is left after the donation of a proton is an anion and is known as a conjugate base while the species that gains the proton acts as a cation and is known as a conjugate acid.
b.
To determine:
The anion formed from the given lactic acid
Introduction:
According to Bronsted-Lowry concept, an acid is a species that can easily donate a proton and the species that accepts this donated proton is known as a base. The species that is left after the donation of a proton is an anion and is known as a conjugate base while the species that gains the proton acts as a cation and is known as a conjugate acid.
c.
To determine:
The anion formed from the given carbonic acid
Introduction:
According to Bronsted-Lowry concept, an acid is a species that can easily donate a proton and the species that accepts this donated proton is known as a base. The species that is left after the donation of a proton is an anion and is known as a conjugate base while the species that gains the proton acts as a cation and is known as a conjugate acid.

- 3.85 The particulate drawing shown represents an aqueous so- lution of an acid HA, where A might represent an atom or group of atoms. Is HA a strong acid or a weak acid? Explain how you can tell from the picture.arrow_forwardVitamin C has the formula C6H8O6. Besides being an acid, it is a reducing agent. One method for determining the amount of vitamin C in a sample is to titrate it with a solution of bromine, Br2, an oxidizing agent. C6H8O6(aq) + Br2(aq) 2 HBr(aq) + C6H6O6(aq) A 1.00-g "chewable" vitamin C tablet requires 27.85 ml of 0.102 M Br2 for titration to the equivalence point. What is the mass of vitamin C in the tablet?arrow_forwardOne half liter (500. mL) of 2.50 M HCl is mixed with 250. mL of 3.75 M HCl. Assuming the total solution volume after mixing is 750. mL, what is the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution? What is its pH?arrow_forward
- Give an example of a polyprotic acid and write equations for the successive neutralizations of the acidic hydrogen atoms of the acid molecule to produce a series of salts.arrow_forwardWhat is the net ionic equation for the reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide? (a) H3O+(aq) + OH(aq) 2 H2O(l) (b) Na+(aq) + CH3CO2(aq) NaCH3CO2(aq) (c) CH3CO2H(aq) + OH(aq) H2O(l) + CH3CO2(aq) (d) CH3CO2H(aq) + NaOH(aq) H2O(l) NaCH3CO2(aq)arrow_forwardEqual quantities of the hypothetical strong acid HX, weak acid HA, and weak base BZ are added to separate beakers of water, producing the solutions depicted in the drawings. In the drawings, the relative amounts of each substance present in the solution (neglecting the water) are shown. Identify the acid or base that was used to produce each of the solutions (HX, HA, or BZ).arrow_forward
- ssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.arrow_forwardA mountain lake that is 4.0 km × 6.0 km with an average depth of 75 m has an H+(aq) concentration of 1.3 × 10−6 M. Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that would have to be added to the lake to change the H+(aq) concentration to 6.3 × 10−8 M. Assume that all the carbonate is converted to carbon dioxide, which bubbles out of the solution.arrow_forward
