Chapter 6: Q42P (page 143)

Write the formulas and names for three classes of weak acids and two classes of weak bases.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The three classes of weak acid are:

  • Carboxylic acids with a formula ofRCO2H .
  • Ammonium ions with a formula of R3NH+.
  • Metal cations with a formula ofMn+ .

The two classes of weak bases are:

  • Amines with a formula of R3N.
  • Carboxylate anions with a formula ofRCO2 .

Step by step solution

01

Definition of acid and base.

A chemical interaction between an acid and a base is known as an acid–base reaction. It may be used to determine the pH of a solution.

What concentration of Fe(CN)64-(ferrocyanide) is in equilibrium with1.0μMAg+ androle="math" localid="1663331502441" Ag4Fe(CN)6(s)? Express your answer with a prefix from Table 1-3.

Identify the Bronsted-Lowry acids among the reactants in the following reactions:

(a) KCN+HI⇌HCN+KI

(b)PO43-+H2O⇌HPO42-+OH-

Henry's law states that the concentration of a gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to the pressure of the gas. This law is a consequence of the equilibrium

X(g)⇋KhX(aq)Kh=[x]pX

where Khis called the Henry's law constant. For the gasoline additive MTBE, Kh=1.71M/bar . Suppose we have a closed container with aqueous solution and air in equilibrium. If the concentration of MTBE in the water is 1.00x102ppm (=100μgMTBE/gsolution≈100μg/mL), what is the pressure of MTBE in the air?
