- 3.85 The particulate drawing shown represents an aqueous so- lution of an acid HA, where A might represent an atom or group of atoms. Is HA a strong acid or a weak acid? Explain how you can tell from the picture.arrow_forwardThe formula for tartaric acid is preferably written as H2C4H4O6 rather than as C4H6O6. Explain why.arrow_forward3.102 Classify the following compounds as acids or bases, weak or strong. (a) perchloric acid, (b) cesium hydroxide, (c) carbonic acid, H2CO3, (d) ethylamine, C2H5NH2arrow_forward
- ssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.arrow_forward(a) Rank the following 0.1 M solutions in order from least electrical conductivity to greatest electrical conductivity: carbonic acid, citric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, and water. (b) Rank the following bases in order from strongest to weakest: monohydrogen phosphate ion, carbonate ion, fluoride ion, ammonia, nitrite ion, and water.arrow_forwardHydrochloric acid is one of the common acids used in the laboratory. It is a very strong acid and react with many substances including metals. (a) Why is hydrochloric acid classified as a strong acid? (b) Write a chemical equation to represent its action on zinc (c) What is observed when: i. litmus paper is dipped in hydrochloric acid? ii. two drops of methyl orange is put in 20cm3 of 0.1M hydrochloric acid? iii. Hydrochloric acid react with calcium carbonatearrow_forward
- Cake alum (aluminum sulfate) is used as a flocculatingagentin water purification. The “floc” is a gelatinous precipitate of aluminum hydroxide that carries small suspended particles and bacteria out of solution for removal by filtration.(a) The hydroxide is formed by the reaction of the aluminum ion with water. Write the equation for this reaction.(b) The acidity from this reaction is partially neutralized by the sulfate ion. Write an equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardExplain the following chemical properties of acids with the help of balanced chemical equations only.(i) When an acid reacts with a metal carbonate.(ii)When an acid reacts with a metal bicarbonate.(iii) When an acid reacts with a metal oxide.arrow_forward(a) A 50.0 mL solution is prepared to be 1.29 M acetylsalicylic acid. In the first step, 8.55 mL of NaOH is titrated into the solution until the pH is exactly 5.0. What is the concentration of the titrant (NaOH)? (b) In the second step, enough 5.85 M nitric acid is added to the solution after the titration in part (a) is complete until the pH is one unit lower than the pKa of acetylsalicylic acid. What volume (mL) of nitric acid was added?arrow_forward
- Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) reacts withacids in foods to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which inturn decomposes to water and carbon dioxide gas. In a cake batter, the CO2(g) forms bubbles and causes the caketo rise. (a) A rule of thumb in baking is that 1/2 teaspoon ofbaking soda is neutralized by one cup of sour milk. The acidcomponent in sour milk is lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)COOH.Write the chemical equation for this neutralization reaction.(b) The density of baking soda is 2.16 g/cm3. Calculatethe concentration of lactic acid in one cup of sour milk(assuming the rule of thumb applies), in units of mol/L.(One cup = 236.6 mL = 48 teaspoons). (c) If 1/2 teaspoonof baking soda is indeed completely neutralized by the lactic acid in sour milk, calculate the volume of carbon dioxidegas that would be produced at 1 atm pressure, in anoven set to 350 °F.arrow_forwardThe pH scale for acidity is defined by pH – log10 H*| where |H*| is the concentration of hydrogen ions measured in moles per liter (M). (A) The pH of Drano is 13.3. Calculate the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per liter (M). [H*] = M (B) The pH of rain water is 5.5. Calculate the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per liter (M). [H*] = Marrow_forward10 mL of a solution of NaOH is found to be completely neutralized by 8 mL of a givensolution of HCl.
