- Verify that the equilibrium position for the reaction between phenol and hydroxide ion is on the right by comparing the pKa value of the acid on the left with that of the acid on the right. Which acid is stronger? do the same for the reaction of phenol with hydrogen carbonate ionarrow_forwardBased on their compositions and structures and on conjugateacid–base relationships, select the stronger base in eachof the following pairs: (a) NO3- or NO2-, (b) PO43- or AsO43-,(c) HCO3- or CO32-.arrow_forwardWhich of the following reactions favor formation of the products? (For the pKa values necessary to solve this problem, see Appendix I. Recall that the equilibrium favors formation of the weaker acidarrow_forward
- Which acid do you think would have the lower pKa value: HBrO4, HBrO3, HBrO2, or HBrO? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhich statement about the pKa value is false? The pKa value is calculated from the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of the acid. The pKa value is a measure of the strength of an acid. The pKa value of a given acid gives an indication of the strength of the conjugate base of that acid. A larger pKa value indicates a stronger acid and a weaker associated conjugate base. All of these statements are correct.arrow_forwardWhich of the following two acids has the stronger conjugate base? Nitrous acid, Ka = 7.1 x 10–4 Phenol, Ka = 1.0 x 10–10 The strength of the conjugate base cannot be obtained from the information given. Nitrous acid, because it has a larger Ka value. Nitrous acid, because it has a smaller Ka value. Phenol, because it has a larger Ka value. Phenol, because it has a smaller Ka value.arrow_forward
- 1) Consider the reaction AH(+) + H₂O → A: + H₂O¹. For the following named acids: 1) draw the structure of the acid, 2) give the approximate pKa of the conjugate acid (±1 pKa unit), 3) give the name of the conjugate base, and 4) draw the structure of the conjugate base. For the purposes of answering this question you may use pKa values evenly divisible by 5.
