C) 4.87 D) 8.13

6

What is the balanced equation for the acid–base reaction of nitrous acid with lithium hydroxide?

A)

B)

Li(OH)2(aq) + 2 HNO3(aq) ---> 2 H2O(l) + Li(NO3)2(aq)

C)

LiOH(aq) + HNO3(aq) ---> H2O(l) + LiNO3(aq)

D)

2 LiOH(aq) + H2NO2(aq) ---> 2 H2O(l) + Li2NO2(aq)

Explanation / Answer

1.Which ion is the strongest base?

A) Br– B) NO3– C) I– D) F–

Answer:

the stronger base is one which is conjugate base of weak acid so answer is F-


2 HCl (aq) is an example of a

A) weak base. B) strong base. C) weak acid. D) strong acid.

Answer: it shows high degree of dissociation into H+ and Cl- so it is a strong acid

3Which species can be a Brønsted–Lowry acid?

A) HCO3– B) HI C) NaBr D) LiOH

Answer: Bronsted lowry acid is the one which can give H+ so answer is HI

4 The [–OH] in a solution is 1.7 × 10–11 M. What is the [H3O+] in this wine?

A)5.9 × 10–4 M D) 1.7 × 10–11 M B)1.0 × 10–7 M E) 1.0 × 10–14 M C) 5.9 × 10–18 M

Answer: The product of concentration of [OH-] [H3O+] = 10^-14

so if [OH-] = 1.7 × 10–11

[H3O+] = 10–14 / 1.7 × 10–11 = 5.88 X 10^-4 M ( option A)

5

What is the pH of a cleaning solution with a [H3O+] = 7.4 × 10–9 M H3O+?

A) 6.9 B) 9.1

C) 4.87 D) 8.13

Answer

pH = -log[H3O+]

In aquesous solution [H3O+] = 7.4 × 10–9 + 10^-7 ( due to water)

pH = -log (7.4 × 10–9 + 10^-7 ) = - log(1.074 X 10^-7 M) = 6.96 ( option A)

6

What is the balanced equation for the acid–base reaction of nitrous acid with lithium hydroxide?

2 LiOH(aq) + H2NO2(aq) ---> 2 H2O(l) + Li2NO2(aq)
