A chemical system is set up by placing some solid ammonium chloride in an ammonia solution. The equilibrium established can be represented as follows: NH4*(aq) + H2O(e) 2 H30*(aq) + NH3(aq) The pH of the solution is taken, then a small amount of NaOH(aq) is added and the pH is taken again. What can be said about the change in pH for the solution? The pH significantly increases because a strong base has been added to the solution. The pH significantly decreases because a strong base has been added to the solution. There is very little change to the pH of the solution. If anything the pH of the solution decreases slightly.

You are given two glasses of water that have different temperatures. The temperature of the first glass is at 298 K, while the second glass has a temperature of 303 K. It has been determined that the Kw value for the second glass of water is 1.47 x 10-¹4. Which of the following statements is true? (a) The pH of the room temperature glass is higher, but both glasses have the same acidity. (b) The room temperature glass of water has a higher pH, and is more basic than the other glass of water. (c) Both glasses of water are neutral, so both will have a pH of 7.00. (d) The room temperature water has a lower pH, so is more acidic. (e) The warmer glass of water has a lower pH, and is more acidic than the other glass of water.
8. (a) HA(aq) is a weak acid with a dissociation constant, Ka, of 8.8 x 10−12. What is the pH of a 0.022 M solution of A−(aq)? The temperature is 25 ◦C. (b) For the reaction A(g) =A(l), the equilibrium constant is 0.666 at 25.0 ◦C and 0.222 at 75.0 ◦C. Making the approximation that the entropy and enthalpy changes of this reaction do not change with temperature, at what temperature will the equilibrium constant be equal to 0.777?
A solution is prepared by adding 100 mL of 1.0 M HC,H,O,(aq) to 100 mL of 1.0 M NaC,H,O,(aq). The solution is stirred and its pH is measured to be 4.73. After 3 drops of 1.0 M HCl are added to the solution, the ph of the solution is measured and is still 4.73. Which of the following equations represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH?
