    ACID BASE ASSIGNMENT

    SCH4U, CHEMISTRY
    RIBBA PATHAN
    July 1, 2017

    1.
    Acid: H3PO4

    Base: NH3

    +
    Conjugate Acid: NH4

    -
    Conjugate Base: H2PO4

    2.
    We know pH = -log [H+]

    = -log (3.2 x 10-5)

    = - (-4.5)

    = 4.5

    Since pH is less than 7, lake is considered as acidic.


    3.

    pH + pOH = 14

    pOH = 14 - 7.41 = 6.59

    [OH-] = 1x10-6.59,

    or more conventionally ...

    [OH-] = 2.57x10-7

    4.

    NaOH dissociates 100% --> Na+ + OH-

    0.0026 mol/L NaOH --> 0.0026 mol/L OH-

    pOH = -log 0.0026

    pOH = 2.59

    pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.59
    pH = 11.4

    It is basic because pH >7


    5.

    From the pH we get the hydrogen ion concentration.

    [H+] = 10-pH = 10-3.96 = 1.10x10-4

    HF(aq) <==> H+ ..........+............ F-

    0.20 ..............1.10x10-4 ....1.10x10-4

    Ka = [H+][F-] / [HF]
    Ka = (1.10x10-4)² / 0.20
    Ka = 6.01x10-8

    Percent ionization = 1.10x10-4 / 0.20 x 100 = 0.055%

    So why the big deviation from the accepted value of Ka for HF,

    which appears to be anywhere from 3.5x10-4 to 6.6×10-4,

    depending on the table you find? Just for grins, we'll use a value

    of 5x10-4 for the Ka of HF, and find the actual hydrogen ion

    concentration in a 0.20M HF solution:

    √(5.0x10-4 x 0.20) = 0.010 = [H+]

    pH = 2.0

    The pH of the solution should be about 2, not nearly 4.


    6.

    Equation is

    HNO3 + LiOH -> Li(NO3) + H2O

    First calculate the number of moles of nitric acid and hydroxide

    n=cv

    n = 0.379x0.025
    n(HNO3) = 0.009475mol

    Same for hydroxide


    n = 0.573x0.012
    n = 0.006876mol

    So not all acid has reacted


    0.009475 - 0.006876 = 0.002599mol acid remaining

    Convert back to find our final concentration


    c=n/v
    c=0.002599/0.037. Note new volume
    [HNO3] = 0.07024

    As HNO3 is a strong acid it completely dissociates to H+ and NO3-


    so [HNO3] = [H+] = 0.07024M

    pH = -log[H+]
    pH = -log0.07024
    pH = 1.2
