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.
One 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?
A 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.
Complete each of these reactions by filling in the blanks. Predict whether each reaction is product-favored or reactant-favored, and explain your reasoning. (a) _________ (aq) + Br(aq) NH3(aq) + HBr(aq) (b) CH3COOH(aq) + CN(aq) ________ (aq) + HCN(aq) (c) ________ (aq)+H2O () NH3(aq) + OH(aq)
How many mEq of HCO3 are present in a solution that also contains 75 mEq of Na+, 83 mEq K+, 10 mEq Ca2+, and 153 mEq Cl?
An acid is titrated with NaOH. The following beakers are illustrations of the contents of the beaker at various times during the titration. These are presented out of order. Note: Counter-ions and water molecules have been omitted from the illustrations for clarity. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) a. Is the acid a weak or strong acid? How can you tell? b. Arrange the beakers in order of what the contents would look like as the titration progresses. c. For which beaker would pH = pKa? Explain your answer. d. Which beaker represents the equivalence point of the titration? Explain your answer. e. For which beaker would the Ka value for the acid not be necessary to determine the pH? Explain your answer.
Most 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.
Hydrogen, H2S, and sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2 are mixed in water. Using Table 16.2, write a balanced equation for the acid-base reaction that could in principle, occur. Does the equilibrium lie toward the products or the reactants?
. What does it mean to say that an acid is strong in aqueous solution? What does this reveal about the ability of the acids anion to attract protons?
Lead poisoning has been a hazard for centuries. Some scholars believe that the decline of the Roman Empire can be traced, in part, to high levels of lead in water from containers and pipes, and from wine that was stored in leadglazed containers. If we presume that the typical Roman water supply was saturated with lead carbonate, PbCO3 (Ksp = 7.4 1014), how much lead will a Roman ingest in a year if he or she drinks 1 L/day from the container?
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.
A scientist has synthesized a diprotic organic acid, H2A, with a molar mass of 124.0 g/mol. The acid must be neutralized (forming the potassium salt) for an important experiment. Calculate the volume of 0.221 M KOH that is needed to neutralize 24.93 g of the acid, forming K2A.
