Question

What is the pH of a solution of 1.00L of water with 0.00527 moles of HCl in it ?

What is the pH of a solution of 1.00L of water with 0.0165 moles of HNO3 in it ?

What is the pH of a solution of 1.00L of water with 0.0823 moles of NaOH in it ?

What is the pH of a solution of 1.00L of water with 0.0815 moles of KOH in it ?

Based on the definitions for strong acid and weak acid, would you expect the concentration of an acid to play a role in determining if it's strong or weak? Explain your answer. Be specific.

In the neutralization reaction

H2SO4 + 2 KOH à 2 H2O + K2SO4

If there is 850 mL of 0.128 M H2SO4 reacting with 470 mL of a KOH solution with unknown concentration, what is the concentration of KOH?

Explanation / Answer

pH of HCl = 2.28

pH of HNO3 = 1.78

pH of NaOH = 12.92

pH of KOH = 12.91

Concentration will not play on strength of acids. it depend how easily ( or what extend) dissociates in solvent or solution. If it completely dissociate , that will be strong acid, if partially dissociate then that will be weak acid.

H2SO4 + 2 KOH à 2 H2O + K2SO4 in this reaction H2SO4 and KOH both are completely dissociates and forms K2SO4 salt so both are termed as strong

850 mL of 0.128 M H2SO4 = 108.8 mmol of H2SO4

1 eq of acid will react with 2 eq of KOH so we need 217.6 mmol of KOH in 470 mL

0.2176 mole / 0.470 L = 0.463 M concentration of KOH 470 mL needed.
