(a)
Interpretation:
The stronger acid out of
Concept Introduction:
The most common representation of oxy acid is given by
(b)
Interpretation:
The stronger acid out of
Concept Introduction:
The acidic strength is determined by the ease with the acid that can donate a proton in an aqueous solution. This is determined based on size of the atoms for hydrides. The nuclei size may affect the strength of bond between the element and the hydrogen in the hydrides.

- Differentiate between the terms strength and concentration as they apply to acids and bases. When is HCl strong? Weak? Concentrated? Dilute? Answer the same questions for ammonia. Is the conjugate base of a weak acid a strong base?arrow_forwardWhich of each pair of acids is stronger? Why? (a) HClO3, HClO4 (b) H2S, H2Searrow_forwardConsider the following four solutions: (1) apple juice, pH 3.8, (2) pickle juice, pH 3.5, (3) carbonated beverage, pH 3.0, and (4) drinking water, pH 7.2. a. Which solution has the highest [H3O+]? b. Which solution has the highest [OH]? c. List the solutions in order of increasing acidity. d. List the solutions in order of decreasing basicity.arrow_forward
- You are asked for the H+ concentration in a solution of NaOH(aq). Because sodium hydroxide is a strong base, can we say there is no H+. since having H+ would imply that the solution is acidic?arrow_forwardRank the following acids (M=0.10)in order of decreasing[ H+ ]: HFHCl HCN HCIOarrow_forwardConsider the following four biological solutions: (1) bile, pH 8.0, (2) blood, pH 7.4, (3) urine, pH 6.0, and (4) gastric juice, pH 1.6. a. Which solution has the lowest [H3O+]? b. Which solution has the lowest [OH]? c. List the solutions in order of decreasing acidity. d. List the solutions in order of increasing basicity.arrow_forward
