ACID-BASE EQUILIBRIA Doc Jill wants to determine the Ao of a weak acid she isolated called Yurdaughteric acid (HYd). She prepared a solution of the weak acid by diluting 3.5 mL of 0.10 M HYd with 13.5 mL of water. Upon measuring the conductivity of the solution and a blank, she obtained 192.0 puS/cm and 4.0 uS/cm, respectively. She also measured the pH of the solution and got a pH of 3.12. Help her find the following: 5. a 6. Equilibrium concentration of the weak acid (HYd) 7. K, 8. Ao

What is an acidbase indicator? Define the equivalence (stoichiometric) point and the end point of a titration. Why should you choose an indicator so that the two points coincide? Do the pH values of the two points have to be within 0.01 pH unit of each other? Explain.
Isocyanic acid (HNCO) can be prepared by heating sodium cyanate in the presence of solid oxalic acid according to the equation 2NaOCN(s)+H2C2O4(s)2HNCO(l)+Na2C2O4(s) Upon isolating pure HNCO(l), an aqueous solution of HNCO can be prepared by dissolving the liquid HNCO in water. What is the pH of a l00.-mL solution of HNCO prepared from the reaction of 10.0 g each of NaOCN and H2C2O4, assuming all of the HNCO produced is dissolved in solution? (Ka of HNCO = 1.2 l04.)
A bottle of concentrated hydroiodic acid is 57% HI by weight and has a density of 1.70 g/mL. A solution of this strong and corrosive acid is made by adding exactly 10.0 mL to some water and diluting to 250.0 mL. If the information on the label is correct, what volume of 0.988 M NaOH is needed to neutralize the HI solution? Suggest an indicator for the titration.
A friend asks the following: Consider a buffered solution made up of the weak acid HA and its salt NaA. If a strong base like NaOH is added, the HA reacts with the OH to form A. Thus the amount of acid (HA) is decreased, and the amount of base (A) is increased. Analogously, adding HCI to the buffered solution forms more of the acid (HA) by reacting with the base (A). Thus how can we claim that a buffered solution resists changes in the pH of the solution? How would you explain buffering to this friend?
A buffer is prepared in which the ratio [ H2PO4 ]/[ HPO42 ]is 3.0. (a) What is the pH of this buffer? (b) Enough strong acid is added to convert 15% of HPO42- to H2PO4-. What is the pH of the resulting solution? (c) Enough strong base is added to make the pH 7.00. What is the ratio of [H2PO4-] to [HPO42-] at this point?
Sketch the titration curve for a weak acid titrated by a strong base. When performing calculations concerning weak acidstrong base titrations, the general two-slep procedure is to solve a stoichiometry problem first, then to solve an equilibrium problem to determine the pH. What reaction takes place in the stoichiometry part of the problem? What is assumed about this reaction? At the various points in your titration curve, list the major species present after the strong base (NaOH, for example) reacts to completion with the weak acid, HA. What equilibrium problem would you solve at the various points in your titration curve to calculate the pH? Why is pH 7.0 at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration? Does the pH at the halfway point to equivalence have to be less than 7.0? What does the pH at the halfway point equal? Compare and contrast the titration curves for a strong acidstrong base titration and a weak acidstrong base titration.
Chromic acid, H2CrO4, is commonly obtained by adding concentrated H2SO4 to a dichromate. It is used to clean glass. For chromic acid, Ka is 1.8101 and 3.2107 for its first and second dissociation, respectively. Write the overall equation and calculate K for the complete dissociation of chromic acid.
In dilute aqueous solution HF acts as a weak acid. However, pure liquid HF (boiling point = 19.5 C) is a strong acid. In liquid HF, HNO3 acts like a base and accepts protons. The acidity of liquid HF can be increased by adding one of several inorganic fluorides that ale Lewis acids and accept F- ion (for example, BF3 or SbF5]. Write balanced chemical equations for the reaction of pure HNO3 with pure HF and of pure HF with BF3.
Consider a solution prepared by mixing a weak acid HA. HCl, and NaA. Which of the following statements best describes what happens? a. The H+ from the HCl reacts completely with the A from the NaA. Then the HA dissociates somewhat. b. The H+ from the HCl reacts somewhat with the A from the NaA to make HA, while the HA is dissociating. Eventually you have equal amounts of everything. c. The H+ from the HCl reacts somewhat with the A from the NaA to make HA while the HA is dissociating. Eventually all the reactions have equal rates. d. The H+ from the HCl reacts completely with the A from the NaA. Then the HA dissociates somewhat until too much H+ and A are formed, so the H+ and A react to form HA, and so on. Eventually equilibrium is reached. Justify your choice, and for choices you did not pick, explain what is wrong with them.
