Classify Chloric, Perchloric, Chlorous, and Hypochlorous acid AND give their formula.

What is Chloric and Perchloric acid are Strong acids while Chlorous and Hypochlorous Acids are weak. What is Chloric acid is HClO3, Perchloric is HClO4, Chlorous is HClO2, and Hypochlorous is HClO.

What is the formula for the autoionization of water? What is the equilibrium constant for this AND what is its value? Are all species involved? Why or why not?

What is H2O (l) + H2O (l) ⇌ OH- + H3O+?

What is Kw=1*10^-14=[OH-][H3O+]?

What is NO, not all species are involved because we are using Liquid water, so liquids are not in equilibrium constants.

Is ammonia a Lewis, Arrhenius, and or Bronsted-Lowry Base or Acid and why?

What is an Arrhenius, Lewis, and Bronsted-Lowry Base (ALL 3)

300

What does it mean to be a strong acid/ base? How about a weak acid/base? What does IONIZATION mean and how does it apply?

What is ionization is the process of forming ions, from an acid or base in this case? What is strong acids/bases are fully ionized in water? What is weak acids/bases are NOT fully ionized and therefore are reversible?

A chemist is studying the acid–base behavior of four different compounds in water. Compound A has an acid dissociation constant of Ka = 3.2 × 10⁻⁵, while Compound B has a base dissociation constant of Kb = 1.0 × 10⁻³. Compound C was measured to have a pKa of 9.4, and Compound D was found to have a pKb of 4.8. Based on these values, determine which compound is the most acidic and which is the least acidic, put in order from MOST acidic to LEAST acidic. 

What is A>D>C>B?

Why does Kw=Ka*Kb for ONLY Conjugate pairs?

What is you need to be able to cancel and isolate [OH] and [H]

Ka= [H][A]/[HA]

Kb= [OH][HA]/[A]

([H][A]/[HA])*([OH][HA]/[A])--> 

[H]*[OH]=Kw
