A chemistry graduate student is given 300. mL of a 0.20M nitrous acid (HNO,) solution. Nitrous acid is a weak acid with K=4.5 × 10¯*. What mass of K,- NaNO, should the student dissolve in the HNO, solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =3.07? You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the NaNO, is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits.

Show what happens upon (a) the addition of 2 mol of OH- (2 ). (b) the addition of 5 mol of OH- (5 ). (c) the addition of 10 mol of OH- (10 ). (d) the addition of 12 mol of OH- (12 ). Which addition (a)-(d) represents neutralization halfway to the equivalence point?
Sketch the titration curve for a weak acid titrated by a strong base. When performing calculations concerning weak acidstrong base titrations, the general two-slep procedure is to solve a stoichiometry problem first, then to solve an equilibrium problem to determine the pH. What reaction takes place in the stoichiometry part of the problem? What is assumed about this reaction? At the various points in your titration curve, list the major species present after the strong base (NaOH, for example) reacts to completion with the weak acid, HA. What equilibrium problem would you solve at the various points in your titration curve to calculate the pH? Why is pH 7.0 at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration? Does the pH at the halfway point to equivalence have to be less than 7.0? What does the pH at the halfway point equal? Compare and contrast the titration curves for a strong acidstrong base titration and a weak acidstrong base titration.

Explain.
A saturated solution of a slightly soluble electrolyte in contact with some of the solid electrolyte is said to be a system in equilibrium. Explain. Why is such a system called a heterogeneous equilibrium?

A buffer is prepared using the butyric acid/butyrate (HC4H7O2/C4H7O2)acid-base pair. The ratio of acid to base is 2.2 and Ka for butyric acid is1.54105. (a) What is the pH of this buffer? (b) Enough strong base is added to convert 15% of butyric acid to the butyrate ion. What is the pH of the resulting solution? (c) Strong acid is added to the buffer to increase its pH.

Consider the titration of HF (K a=6.7104) with NaOH. What is the pH when a third of the acid has been neutralized?
A monoprotic organic acid that has a molar mass of 176.1 g/mol is synthesized. Unfortunately, the acid produced is not completely pure. In addition, it is not soluble in water. A chemist weighs a 1.8451-g sample of the impure acid and adds it to 100.0 mL of 0.1050 M NaOH. The acid is soluble in the NaOH solution and reacts to consume most of the NaOH. The amount of excess NaOH is determined by titration: It takes 3.28 mL of 0.0970 M HCl to neutralize the excess NaOH. What is the purity of the original acid, in percent?
Which of the following will affect the total amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent? a. The solution is stirred. b. The solute is ground to fine particles before dissolving. c. The temperature changes.
Consider the nanoscale-level representations for Question 110 of the titration of the aqueous weak acid HX with aqueous NaOH, the titrant. Water molecules and Na+ ions are omitted for clarity. Which diagram corresponds to the situation: After a very small volume of titrant has been added to the initial HX solution?
