Solution of
Concept Introduction:
Salts formed from alkali metal cation and halogens as anions are neutral. This is because the cation acts as spectator ion while the anion is not strong enough to react with water as halides are conjugate bases of strong hydrohalic acids. Thus salts such as

- What is the freezing point of vinegar, which is an aqueous solution of 5.00% acetic acid, HC2H3O2, by mass (d=1.006g/cm3)?arrow_forwardWrite two BrnstedLowry acid-base reactions and show how they represent proton-transfer reactions.arrow_forwardThe weak base, CIO (hypochlorite ion), is used in the form of NaCIO as a disinfectant in swimming pools and water treatment plants. What are the concentrations of HCIO and OH and the pH of a 0.015 M solution of NaCIO?arrow_forward
- You are asked to determine whether an unknown white solid is acidic or basic. You also need to say whether the acid or base is weak or strong. You are given the molar mass of the solid and told that it is soluble in water. Describe an experiment that you can perform to obtain the desired characteristics of the white solid.arrow_forwardWhich of the terms weak, strong, monoprotic, diprotic, and triprotic characterize(s) each of the following acids? More than one term may apply in a given situation. a. H3PO4 b. H3PO3 c. HBr d. HC2H3O2arrow_forwardConsider a 0.33 M solution of the diprotic acid H2X. H2X H+(aq)+ HX(aq)Ka1=3.3 10 4 HX H+(aq)+ X2(aq)Ka2=9.7 10 8 Calculate the pH of the solution and estimate [HX-] and [X2-].arrow_forward
- Acidity of a solution is determined by the concentration H of hydrogen ions in the solution (measured in moles per liter of solution). Chemists use the negative of the logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions to define the pH scale, as shown in the following formula. pH = - log (H) Lower pH values indicate a more acidic solution. (a) Normal rain has a pH value of 5.6. Rain in the eastern United States often has a pH level of 3.8. How much more acidic is this than normal rain? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) times as acidic as normal rain(b) If the pH of water in a lake falls below a value of 5, fish often fail to reproduce. How much more acidic is this than normal water with a pH of 5.6? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) times as acidic as normal waterarrow_forwardAcidity of a solution is determined by the concentration H of hydrogen ions in the solution (measured in moles per liter of solution).
