A physician wishes to prepare a buffer solution at pH = 3.85 that efficiently resists changes in pH yet contains only small concentration of the buffering agents. Which of the following weak acids together with its sodium salt would be best to use?
Acetoacetic acid (pKa = 3.58)
Which of the following aqueous solutions will have highest pH?
NaCl is salt of strong acid and strong base so it has pH of about 7. NH4Cl is salt of strong acid and weak base so it has pH is much less than 7. CH3COONH4 is salt of weak acid and weak base so it has pH of about 7. Na2CO3 is salt of weak acid and strong base so it has pH is much greater than 7.
What is the pH of a 0.10 M solution of barium hydroxide, Ba (OH)2?
pH = 13.30 Barium hydroxide is a strong base for both stages of dissociation: Ba (OH)2(s) → Ba2+ + 2OH– So the solution will have 0.20 M hydroxide ions. Now use the auto dissociation product for water: [H+][OH–] = 1.0 × 10-14M [OH–] = 2.0 × 10-1M [H+] = 5.0 × 10-14M And then pH = −log10 ([H+] = 5.0 × 10-14) = 13.30.
Which of the following oxides is not expected to react with sodium hydroxide?
CaO being a basic oxide does not react with NaOH, however SiO2 (acidic oxide), BeO (amphoteric oxide) and Br2O3 (acidic oxide) react with NaOH.
