Answer:

B is a stronger base than A^-, which is a stronger base than H2O, which is a stronger base than CI^-

Explanation:

The general equation for each acid is:

HA(aq) + H2O(ac) ⇄ H3O+(aq) + A-(aq)

HB(aq) + H2O(ac) ⇄ H3O+(aq) + B-(aq)

When these acids dissociate into its ions in water they lose a proton (H+), so they are proton donors (acids) and H2O is the proton acceptor (base). This reaction produces a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.

Conjugate base is what remains of the acid molecule after it loses a proton:

HA = acid         A- Conjugate base

HB = acid         B- Conjugate base

A conjugate acid is formed when the proton is transferred to the base

H2O = base                H3O+ = Conjugate acid

The stronger acid will produce a weaker base. According to this, if HA is a stronger acid than HB, A- would be the weaker base (B- is the stronger base).

Compared with water, A- and B- are stronger bases because when they compete for a proton they have much greater affinity for H+ than water does and the equilibrium position will lie far to the left. (HA and HB are weak acids)

Finally Cl- is the weakest base because it comes after dissociation of HCl which is a strong acid

HCl(aq) + H2O → H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Note there is no double arrows, equilibrium lies far to the right. A strong acid yields a weak conjugate base it means one that has a low affinity for a proton.

What is the term for a liquid composed of polar molecules?
IrinaVladis [17]
A dissolving liquid composed of polar molecules is a polar solvent.

The distinction of polar and non-polar liquids is important because the like dissolves like rule. This rule states that the solubility is greater when the polarity of the liquid is similar to the polarity of the solute.

So, to dissolve polar compounds (e.g. ionic compounds) you should use polar solvents (e.g. water).

Answer: polar solvent

A buret is filled with 0.1517 M A 25.0 mL portion of an unknown acid and two drops of indicator are added to an Erlenmeyer flask
erik [133]

Answer:

Molarity of Unknown Acid = 0.1332 M

Explanation:

Data for solving problem:

Molarity of base in buret (M₁)= 0.1517 M

volume of the acid in Erlenmeyer flask (V₂)= 25.0 mL

Volume of the base in the buret (V₁) = final volume of buret - initial volume in buret

final volume of buret = 22.5 mL

initial volume in buret = 0.55 mL

So

Volume of the base in the buret (V₁) = 22.5 mL -0.55 mL = 21.95 mL

Volume of the base in the buret (V₁)  = 21.95 mL

Molarity of Unknown acid in the Erlenmeyer flask (M₂) = To be find

Explanation:

It is acid base titration and  formula for this titration is as follows:

Molarity of base x Volume of base = Molarity of acid x volume of acid

it can be written as

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂ -------------------- equation (1)

we have to find M₂

so by rearrangment the equation (1)

M₁V₁ / V₂ = M₂ ------------------ equation (2)

put the values in equation in equation (2)

M₂ = 0.1517 M x 21.95 mL / 25.0 mL

M₂ = 3.3298 /25.0

M₂ = 0.1332 M

so the Molarity of Unknown acid is <u>0.1332 M</u>
