Question

15.6 mL of 4.0 M HCl are diluted with water to make 1.5 L of solution. What should be the pH of the final solution?

Which of these statements are true?

1.   A Bronsted base accepts a proton from an acid.

2. OH- is the conjugate acid of O2-.

3.   H3O+ is the conjugate acid of OH-.

4.    An Arrhenius acid is a substance that produces H+ ions.

5.   The stronger the acid, the smaller the Ka

III, V

Explanation / Answer

(A)

M1 = 4.0 M

v1 = 15.6 mL

M2 = ??

V2 = 1500 mL

M1 V1 = M2 V2

4 x 15.6 = M2 x 1500

M2 = 0.0416 M

new [H+] = 0.0416 M

pH = -log[H+] = -log[0.0416]

      = 1.38

pH = 1.38

(B)

answer : b. I, II, IV

explanation:

1.   A Bronsted base accepts a proton from an acid. --------> correct

reason:     bronsted concept : an acid is a proton donar and base is a proton acceptor

2. OH- is the conjugate acid of O2-.   -----------------> correct

O2-    + H + --------------------> OH-

base                                       conjugate acid

3.   H3O+ is the conjugate acid of OH-. -----------------> wrong

        OH- + H+ ----------------------> H2O

       base                                         conjugate acid

4.    An Arrhenius acid is a substance that produces H+ ions. ----------------> correct

        it is defination

5.   The stronger the acid, the smaller the Ka

    The stronger the acid larger Ka values . smaller pKa value
