Write the Lewis structures of the reactants and product of each of the following equations, and identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base in each: (a) CS2+SHHCS3 (b) BF3+FBF4 (c) I+SnI2SnI3 (d) Al(OH)3+OHAl(OH)4 (e) F+SO3SFO3
Calculate the pH of a buffer solution prepared from 0.155 mol of phosphoric acid, 0.250 mole of KH2PO4, and enough water to make 0.500 L of solution.
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.
The common ion effect for weak acids is to significantly decrease the dissociation of the acid in water. Explain the common ion effect.
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?
Amino acids are an important group of compounds. At low pH, both the carboxylic acid group (CO2H) and the amine group (NHR) are protonated. However, as the pH of the solution increases (say, by adding base), the carboxylic acid proton is removed, usually at a pH between 2 and 3. In a middle range of pHs, therefore, the amine group is protonated, but the carboxylic acid group has lost the proton. (This is called a zwitterion.) At more basic pH values, the amine proton is dissociated. What is the pH of a 0.20 M solution of alanine hydrochloride, [NH3CHCH3CO2H]Cl?
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.)

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.
