You see some sludge and your pal Gary tells you that it has a concentration of 2.00 x 10-4 M hydrogen ion concentration. What is the pH?
pH = -log[]
pH = -log[2.00 x 10-4] = 3.699
List the strong bases
The hydroxides: (LiOH, NaOH, ect...)
List the 6 strong acids that you should have memorized.
HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4 (don't get this on your clothes), HNO3, HClO4
A solution has [OH-] = 5.00 x 10-4 M. What is the pH?
pH = -log[]
pOH = -log [5.00x10-4] = 3.301
14.000 - 3.301 = 10.699
Is (CH3)3N a strong or weak base? Why?
Weak base, it is not a group 1 or 2 hydroxide compound. It can accept H+ to become (CH3)3NH+
What kind(s) of acid is HBr? (Definition and is it strong or weak?)
Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and maybe Lewis? eh? Depends on the context prolly
The pH of a solution is 4.5. Calculate the [OH-] concentration.
[] = 10-p[]
pH = 4.5
pOH = 14 - 4.5 = 9.5
[OH-] = 10-9.5 = 3.2 x 10-10
Is H2O a strong or weak base? Why?
Is HF a strong of weak acid? Why?
**HINT: perhaps you may want to look at a periodic table periodically
Weak, because fluorine is really electronegative.
We didn't talk about this, so let's do this later :)
CH3CO2H (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ H3O+ (aq) + CH3CO2- (aq)
At equilibrium [CH3CO2H] =0.0787M; [H3O+] = [CH3CO2-] = 0.00118 M
What is the value for Ka? What is the value for Kb? (Kw = 1.0 x 10-14)
Ka = (0.00118)(0.00118)/0.0787 = 1.77 x 10-5
Kw = Ka x Kb
1.0 x 10-14/1.77x10-5 = 5.65 x 1010
If the pH of the solution is 6 in an aqueous solution at 25ºC, what is the pOH?
pOH = 8
If the pOH of an aqueous solution at 25ºC is 9.5, what is the pH?
The ion product of water is 1.00 x 10-14
pH = 4.5
The ion product of water at 80ºC is 2.4 x 10-13. What are the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in pure water at 80ºC?
HINTS: -log[] = p[], [] = 10-p[]
Kw = 2.4 x 10-13
pKw = -log(2.4 x 10-13)= 12.62
12.62 = pH + pOH
pH = pOH
12.62/2 = 6.31
10-6.31 = 4.90 x 10-7
List and differentiate between the three definitions of bases.
Arrhenius base: Increases [OH-]
Brønsted-Lowry Base: Proton acceptor
Lewis Base: Any electron rich species
List and differentiate between the three acid definitions.
Arrhenius Acid: A substance that increases [H+] in aqueous solution
Brønsted-Lowry Acid: A H+ donor
Lewis acid: Any electron deficient species
