370/371/372

OpenStudy (photon336):

373

@Rushwr @sweetburger @Woodward

OpenStudy (rushwr):

370. I will go with C Beacuse Strong acids don't form conjugated acids. They form conjugate base . The conjugate base for this is NO3^-1

OpenStudy (rushwr):

371. I'll go with A \[Ka = \frac{ [H ]^{2} [S ^{2-}]}{ [H _{2}S] }\]

OpenStudy (rushwr):

this is the Ka equation for the overall reaction.

OpenStudy (photon336):

i think it gives the Ka for the H2S

OpenStudy (photon336):

Ka1 = 1x10^-7 ka just compares exponents so it would be i think 7

OpenStudy (rushwr):

To find Ka we have o multiply Ka1 and Ka2 and get the pKa

OpenStudy (photon336):

they say that because the second kA is so small you can just ignore it.

OpenStudy (photon336):

but wait is that what you are supposed to do? i forgot that

OpenStudy (photon336):

i'm just curious

OpenStudy (rushwr):

IDK that but what I know is what I did . for 372 i'll go with D

OpenStudy (rushwr):

wait it must be that then! What is the answer given for that is it 7?

OpenStudy (rushwr):

373. it would be thymol blue !

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Since it is a weak acid strong base titration the anionic hdrolysis occur making the medium basic at its equivalence point. Hence the pH increases !

OpenStudy (photon336):

going to leave this open coming back later.

OpenStudy (rushwr):

oki doki

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I thought 371 was supposed to be kind of like a trick question but then again I should probably review my acid base things. I thought we would say pKa of \(H_2S\) would be 7 and that the other value would be the value of the pKa of \(HS^-\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

372 seems fun one cause you really get to compare pKas of all these conjugate acids and bases. I guess the question is, which one of these answer choices is most basic?

OpenStudy (photon336):

@Woodward the solution said that because the second pKa was so small you could just ignore it.

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[K _{3}PO _{4} ---> PO _{4} +3K ^{+}\] |dw:1439180017859:dw| \[PO _{4} + H2O --> HPO4 + OH ^{-}\] not sure
