1. (8 pts) What is the [H+], [OH-], pH, and pOH of the following solutions?
a. 3.4 grams of HCl in 400 mL of water
[H+] =_____________
[OH-] =_____________
pH =_____________
pOH =_____________
b. 4.3 grams of KOH in 340 mL of water
[H+] =_____________
[OH-] =_____________
pH =_____________
pOH =_____________
2. (5 pts) Calculate the pH and pOH value when 10.0 mL of 0.15 M NaOH has been added
to 10.0 mL of 0.10 M of HC2H3O2.
3. (6 pts) Find the molarity of the following
a. [NaOH]. It takes 13.0 mL of 0.12 M HNO3 to neutralize 8.4 mL of NaOH
b. [HCl]. If it takes 78.0 mL of 1.20 M KOH to neutralize 122.0 mL of HCl.
4. (6 pts) What does a pH of 7, 2, and 10 mean?
5. (5 pts) A particular saturated solution of silver chromate (Ag2CrO3) has [Ag+] = 5.0 x 10-5
M and [CrO42-] = 4.4 x 10-4 M. What is the value of Ksp for Ag2CrO4?
6. (10 pts) Calculate the pH and concentration of all species present (H2CO3, HCO3-, CO32-,
H3O+, and OH-) in a 0.020 M of carbonic acid solution. (Ka1= 4.3 x 10-7; Ka2 = 5.6 x 10-11)
7. (6 pts) If you have 2.3 mol of HF in 23 mL of water, find the molarity of F-, H3O+, and
HF at equilibrium if Ka = 3.5 x 10-4.
8. (3 pts) What is the difference between strong acid/base and weak acid/base?
9. (3 pts) Explain how to make a buffer and what they do?
Extra Credit: (5 pts)
You have 3 moles of water. Given that Kw = 1.0x10-14, show how to find concentration of H+ and
OH- and calculate pH and pOH from this.
