A chemistry exam focused on acid-base chemistry, covering topics such as identifying acids, bases, and salts, bronsted-lowry acid-base reactions, ph calculations, titrations, and buffer solutions. It includes questions that require calculations and explanations, making it suitable for students studying chemistry at the university level. The exam also tests the understanding of indicators and their use in titrations, providing a comprehensive assessment of acid-base chemistry concepts. It also includes the use of the henderson-hasselbalch equation and the calculation of ph for buffer solutions, as well as the determination of the molarity of hcl solutions. The document also covers the concept of % ionization for weak bases like ammonia.

Show the calculation of the [H+] and pH of a 0.00350 M solution of the strong acid H 2 SO 4. Your Answer: Explanation: Formula of conjugate base of the stronger acid: Your Answer: Stronger acid is: AsH Explanation: the size of As is bigger among N, P and As and as size increases bonding with H+ becomes less strong as small atoms forms stronger bonds with H+ as hybridization is stronger between atoms of the same size. so AS-H bond dissociation enthalpy decreaes hense acidity increases. AsH3 ---> AsH2- (conjugate base) Stronger acid is: AsH 3 Explanation: As is the largest atom (of N, P or As) which makes the H-As bond weakest and most likely to form H+ Formula of conjugate base of stronger acid: conjugate base of AsH 3 is AsH 2 -

In the titration of 0.300 grams of Al(OH) 3 in the presence of bromothymol blue indicator, the blue solution turns yellow after 26.4 mL of HCl of unknown concentration is added. Show the calculation of the molarity of the HCl solution. Your Answer: moles of Al(OH)3 = 0.3 / 78 = 3.85 x 10^-3moles of Al(OH)3 Al(OH)3 + 3 HCl --> AlCl3 + 3 H2O 1 mol Al(OH)3 ---> 3 mol HCl [H+] = 2 x [H 2 SO 4 ] = 0.00700 M 2. pH = - log (0.00700) =
Now, pH = - log [H+] = - log (0.00350) = 2. concentratio of H+ = [H+] = 0.00350 M and pH of the solution is 2.45 or

Show calculation of the pH of a buffer prepared by mixing 0.080 M NaC 2 H 3 O 2 and 0.060 M HC 2 H 3 O 2. HC 2 H 3 O 2 H+^ + C 2 H 3 O - 2 Ka = 1.8 x 10 -^5 Your Answer: using the Henderson Hasselbalch equation: pH = PKa + log (base-/acid) Predict and explain whether a solution of NH 4 Cl is acidic, basic or neutral. Your Answer: NH4Cl is a salt of a weak base NH4OH and a strong acid HCl. When NH4Cl is dissolved in H2O the following reaction will be present in the solution: NH4Cl + 2H2O --> NH4OH + HCl Since HCl is a strong acid it is mainly present as H+ and Cl- ions. And NH4OH does not ionize fully because H+ ions are in excess over OH- ions. This will make the solution acidic. NH 4 Cl: Acidic since NH 4 hydrolyzes to form a weak base (NH 4 OH) and H 3 O+
H2O (liq) < --------------- > NH4+ + OH-
pOH = - log [OH-] = - log (2.70 x 10 -^5 ) = 4. pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.57 = 9.
(0.210) x = 2.70 x 10 -^5 1.8 x 10 -^5 = (0.140) (x) x = (1.8 x 10 -^5 ) (0.210) / (0.140) (0.140 + x) (x) (0.210 - x)
[NH 3 ] NH 3 + H 2 O^ (liq) NH 4 + + OH^ - The OH- reacts with H+ and decreases [OH-] and shifts equilibrium to the products/ right. [NH4+] will increase by 0.0100M and NH3 will decrease by the same. The new concentratiosn are as follows: [NH4+] = 0.150 + 0.0100 = 0.160M [NH3] = 0.200 - 0.0100= 0.190M then [H+] = [NH3]/[NH4+] x Ka --> 0.190/0.160 x 1.8x10^(-5) = 2.1375 x 10^ (-5) Ph = - log [H+] =- log [ 2.1375 x 10 ^(-5) ph =
Incorrect application of buffer equation; solved for [H+] and not [OH-]. Minus 4 points.
Your Answer:
Quiz Score: 93 out of 100 The location of the equivalence point is at approximately pH 8.5, indicates that this is a weak acid with a strong base. The indicator should be phenolphthalein. The rapid rise occurse approsimately between pH 7 and pH 10. The indicator chosen should change color within pH7 - pH10 which corresponds to phenolphthalein. The other indicators are not in this range and not selected. The equivalence point at pH > 7, shows that this is a weak acid / strong base titration. The rapid rise occurs approximately between pH 7 and pH 11. The indicator should change color within that range so we should choose Phenolphthalein.
