What is the pH of water?
7
what is the pH range for acidic solutions?
The pH range for acidic solutions is 0 to 6.99
If the pH of a solution is 8. What does it mean?
It means it is a weak base
pH + pOH = ?
14
If the pKa of a weak acid is 4.2, compare its acidity to another weak acid with a pKa of 3.8. Which acid is stronger?
The acid with a pKa of 3.8 is stronger. (lower pKa)
How does a weak acid dissociate in water?
A weak acid partially dissociate in water
What is the relationship between Ka and pKa?
pKa = -log(Ka)
Ka . Kb = ?
Kw or 10-14
[OH-] [H3O+] = ?
Kw or 10-14
Kb for methylamine is 4.47x10-4. Find Ka.
Ka = 2.2 x 10-11
If the concentration of hydroxide ions [OH-] in a solution is 1 x 10-9 M, what is the pH of the solution?
pH=5
Ka for acetic acid is 1.75x10-5 . Find Kb
Kb = 5.7x10-10
You have a buffer solution containing 0.1 M acetic acid (CH3COOH) and 0.2 M acetate ions (CH3COO-). Given that the pKa for acetic acid is 4.75, calculate the pH of the buffer solution.
pH≈5.05
What is the concentration of OH- if [H+] = 1.0x10-3M.
[OH-]=1.0x10-11M
Calculate the pH of a buffer solution containing 0.2 M formic acid (HCOOH) and 0.15 M formate ions (HCOO-). (pKa for formic acid is 3.75)
pH ≈ 3.6
