Midterm 2 (CH 17-19) Flashcards
When a chemical system is at equilibrium:
Which of the following has an effect on the magnitude of the equilibrium constant?
A)Removing products as they are formed
B)Adding more of a reactant
C)Adding a Catalyst
D)Increasing the pressure, in a gas-gas reaction
E)Change in temperature
E)Change in temperature
Which of the following is a strong acid?
A)H2CO3
B)H2SO3
C)H2SO4
D)H3PO3
E)CH3COOH
C)H2SO4
Strong acids include the hydrohalic acids (HCl, HBr, HI) and oxoacids in which the number of oxygen atoms exceeds ionizable protons by two or more
Which of the following acids has the lowest pH?
0.1 M HBO, pKa = 2.43
0.1 M HA, pKa = 4.55
0.1 M HMO, pKa = 8.23
0.1 M HST, pKa = 11.89
pure water
HBO (lowest pKA = strongest acid = highest Ka)
What is the pH of a 0.20 M HCl solution?
B) 0.70
pH=-log(H3O+)
pH= -log (.2) because HCl fully dissociates in aqueous environments and therefore [H3O+] = .2
What is the pH of a 0.0035 M KOH solution?
E)11.54
pOH=-log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14
pOH=-log[.0035]= 2.46
14-2.46=pH
pH=11.54
What is the [OH−] for a solution at 25°C that has [H3O+] = 2.35 × 10−3 M?
C)4.26 x 10^-12
[H3O+] x [OH-] = 1x10^-14
[OH-]= (1x10^-14)/(2.35x10^-3)
What is the [H3O+] for a solution at 25°C that has pOH = 5.640?
C)4.37x10^-9
pH+pOH=14
14-5.640=8.36
10^-pH = [H3O+]
10^-8.36=[H3O+]
Butyric acid is responsible for the odor in rancid butter. A solution of 0.25 M butyric acid has a pH of 2.71. What is the Ka for the acid?
D)1.5x10^-5
CH3CH2CH2COOH = butyric acid
What is the value of Kb for the cyanide anion, CN−? Ka(HCN) = 6.2 × 10−10
B)1.6 × 10−5
Kw=Ka x Kb Kw=1x10^-14
(1x10^-14)/(6.2x10^-10) = 1.6x10^-5
Which of the following aqueous liquids is the most acidic?
A solution is prepared by adding 0.10 mol of sodium fluoride, NaF, to 1.00 L of water. Which statement about the solution is correct?
A) The solution is basic
NaF + H2O -> Na+ F- Solution will be basic as there are no acidic ions to balance the basicity.
A solution is prepared by adding 0.10 mol of iron(III) nitrate, Fe(NO3)3, to 1.00 L of water. Which statement about the solution is correct?
C)The solution is acidic
