Homework #6
1. Calculate the pH of solutions prepared by:
a. Dissolving 0.20 g of sodium hydroxide in water to give 100.0 mL of solution

b. Dissolving 1.26 g of pure nitric acid in water to give 0.500 L of solution

c. Dilluting 40.0 mL of 0.075 M Ba(OH)2 to a volume of 300.0 mL

d. Mixing equal volumes of 0.20 M HCl and 0.50 M HNO3 (Assume that volumes are additive.)

2. Hippuric acid (HC9H8NO3), found in horse urine, has pKa = 3.62. Calculate the pH and percent
dissociation of 0.100 M hippuric acid.

3. Calculate the pH and the concentrations of H2SO3, HSO3-, SO32-, H3O+, and OH- in 0.025 M H2SO3
(Ka1 = 1.5 × 10-2; Ka2 = 6.3 × 10-8).

4. A buffer is made using 45.0 mL of 0.750 M HC3H5O2 (Ka = 1.310-5) and 55.0 mL of 0.700 M
NaC3H5O2. What volume of 0.10 M NaOH must be added to change the pH of the original buffer
solution by 2.5%?

5. A student dissolves 0.0100 mol of an unknown weak base in 100.0 mL water and titrates the solution
with 0.100 M HNO3. After 40.0 mL of 0.100 M HNO3 was added, the pH of the resulting solution was
8.00. Calculate the Kb value for the weak base.

6. Will a precipitate of Cd(OH)2 form if 1.0 mL of 1.0 M Cd(NO3)2 is added to 1.0 L of 5.0 M NH3?
Cd2+(aq) + 4NH3(aq) Cd(NH3)42+(aq) K = 1.0 x 107
Cd(OH)2(s) Cd2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) Ksp = 5.9 x 10-15
