1. pH =3.56 [H +]= ________.

 

2. The equilibrium constant for the reaction: HCN(aq) = H + (aq) + CN- (aq) is 1x10-10 . Initially the system contains only HCN in the concentration of 2 M. At equilibrium:

 

a) If the [H +] is x, what are the [CN -] and the [HCN] equal to?

 

b) What is the approximate concentration of HCN?

 

c) Calculate the concentration of H + at equilibrium

 

3. What is the % ionization of chloroacetic acid in a 0.25 M solution?

Ka (Chloroacetic) = 1.4x10 -3

 (answer = 7.6%)

4. Lactic acid has one acid H. A 0.1 M solution has a pH of 2.44; what is the Ka?

 (answer = 1.3x10-4 )

5. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constants for the following reactions from the value of Ka=1.8x10-5 for AcOH and Kw.

a) AcO - (aq) + H + (aq) = HOAc(aq)

b) HOAc(aq) + OH- (aq) = H2O(l) + AcO- (aq)

c) AcO- (aq) + H2O(l) = AcOH(aq) + OH-

 

Ka of acetic acid is 1.8x10-5

 6. What is the pH of a 0.56 M solution of NH3?

 (answer = 11.5)
