Chapter 18.8, Problem 18.12AFP

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To determine whether KClO2 is acidic, basic, or neutral salt.

Concept introduction: Depending on the ability of the ion to react with water the nature of the salt can be determined. If the cation is a strong base and the anion is a strong acid, then the solution or the salt will be neutral. If the cation is a weak base and the anion is a strong acid, then the solution will be acidic. If the cation is a strong base and the anion is a weak acid, then the solution will be basic.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To determine whether CH3NH3NO3 is acidic, basic, or neutral salt.

Concept introduction: Depending on the ability of the ion to react with water the nature of the salt can be determined. If the cation is a strong base and the anion is a strong acid, then the solution or the salt will be neutral. If the cation is a weak base and the anion is a strong acid, then the solution will be acidic. If the cation is a strong base and the anion is a weak acid, then the solution will be basic.

c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To determine whether RbBr is acidic, basic, or neutral salt.

Concept introduction Depending on the ability of the ion to react with water the nature of the salt can be determined. If the cation is a strong base and the anion is a strong acid, then the solution or the salt will be neutral. If the cation is a weak base and the anion is a strong acid, then the solution will be acidic. If the cation is a strong base and the anion is a weak acid, then the solution will be basic.

Predict whether aqueous solutions of the following substances are acidic, basic, or neutral and write hydrolysis equations for the acidic and basic solutions. (a) CsBr;  (b) Al(NO3)3;  (c) KCN;  (d) CH3NH3Cl
The active ingredient of bleach such as Clorox is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). Its conjugate acid, hypochlorous acid (HClO), has a Ka of 3.0 × 10^–8. (a)  The undiluted bleach contains roughly 1 M NaClO. Calculate the pH of 1 M NaClO solution.  (b)  Some applications require extremely diluted bleach solution, such as swimming pools. Suppose the solution in (a) is diluted by 10,000 -fold. Calculate the pH of the diluted solution, and demonstrate that you can still neglect the autoionization of water in your calculation.  (c)  Suppose the solution in (a) is diluted by 1 million-fold, briefly explain how your approach will be different. Write the equation with [H3O+] as the unknown, but you do not need to solve it.
