KPK 11th Class Chemistry Chapter 8 Acids, bases and salts Short Questions Answers

What are the conjugate acids and bases? Give the conjugate bases of the following acids:

Conjugate acid and base pairs:

Let us consider a general reaction of Bronsted acid HA with a base. The reaction can be represented by the following equation.

HA + B             A   + HB+

Acid Base conjugate Conjugate

Base of HA acid of B

In the forward reaction, acid HA donates a proton to base B to  form A and HB+ products. In the reverse reaction the HB+ ions is an acid that donates a proton to  the A ion, which acts as a base.

HCl(g)   +   NH3(g)  ⇆ NH4(aq)    +      Cl(aq)

Acid        Base Conjugate Conjugate

Acid Base

The chloride ion, Cl is a base by Bronsted definition and is called a conjugate base of hydrochloride acid. According to Bronsted  –  Lowry “ A reactants and product that differ by a proton[H+] is called conjugate acid – base pair. Every acid has has a conjugate base and every base has a conjugate acid. Thus in an acid base reaction, two conjugate pairs are formed.


Classify as acids and bases giving reasons BF3, NH4+, Ag+, KCN, H2S, SO4-2, Na+, Cl-

Acids Bases
BF3 Lewis acid because they are electron deficient specie NH3 Lewis base because they are electron pair donor 
NH4+ Lowry and Bronsted acid (proton donor) CaO Strong basis because dissolves in water to produces strong base and produces maximum number of OH
Ag+ An electron deficient specie, an electron pair acceptor (Lewis acid)

H2S Weak acid, 

H2S Weak acid, ionizes in water to produce H. Na+ An electron deficient specie, electron pair acceptor ( Lewis acid)

KCN on  hydrolysis produce a strong base and weak acid. Hence solution contain maximum number of OH

SO4-2 electrons pair donor(Lewis base) or proton accepted (Lowry and Bronsted base ) Cl electron pair doner (Lewis base or Proton acceptor. 


Classify the following as Lewis acid or Lewis base.

CO2, H2O, SO2, I, NH3, OH, BCl3

Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor) Lewis base ( electron pair donor)
Co2

SO2

BCl3

H2O

I

NH3

OH


What is the pH of 0.0001M Ca (OH)2 solution.

Solution:

As the Ca(OH)2 is a strong base therefore, it ionizes completely in water. So the concentration of OH is

[OH] =  0.0001    =10-4M

We know that 

pOH =  – log[OH]

pOH =  – log 10-4

pOH =  – (-4) log 10

pOH =  + 4 x 1  = 4

We know that  pH    +    pOH    =14

pH        +  4          = 14

pOH    + 4 -4         = 14 – 4

pOH = 10


What is H+ and OH- ions concentration of a solution which has pH = 4.87

Solution:
We know that
pH     =  – log[H+]
-Log [H+]   = pH
OR
Log [H+]     =   –   pH
Taking antilog at both side
[H+]           =   Anti log (-pH)
[H+] =   Anti log (-4.87)
[H+] = 0.0001349
OR
[H+]         =1.35  x 10-5
We know that
[H+] [OH-]       =    10-14
OR
[H+]      =  1.35 x 10-5
We know that [H+] [OH-]    = 10-14
OR                     10-14                            1   x   10-14
[OH-]  =   ___________________      =    _______________ = 7.40  x  10-10
.                            [H+]                          1.35 x 10-5

Explain how a buffer solution resists in pH when a small amount of an acid or a base is added?

Buffer solutions are capable of maintaining their pH at some fairly constant value even when small amounts of the acid or base are added. Thus a buffer solution is one that tends to maintain its pH when an acid or base is added to it. This property  of such a solution is buffer action. The capability of a buffer solution to maintain a definite pH is called buffer capacity.   

Buffer action:

A buffer solution usually consist of a weakly dissociating acid and the salt of that acid or a weak base and its salt. e.g CH3COOH and CH3COONa, NaHCO3/H2CO3 and NaH2PO4/H3PO4. Suppose a buffer solution of a mixture of acetic acid (CH3COOH)and its salt with a strong base CH3COONa. When small amount of an acid such as HCl is added to this solution , it will combine with the acetate ion to form unionized acetic acid.


Explain why? a) A solution of Na2CO3 b) A solution of FeSO4 is acidic c) A solution of NaCl is neutral

a):   Na2CO3   +    HOH  →  NaOH  +    H2CO3          

sodium carbonate(salt) sodium hydroxide   carbonic acid

The strong base (NaOH) on ionization produces maximum number of OH as compared to H+ produced by weak acid.

        Na2CO3   +    HOH  →    NaOH  +    H2CO3          

sodium carbonate(salt) sodium hydroxide   carbonic acid

The strong base on hydrolysis produces maximum number of OH as compared to H+ produced by weal acid.

b):  FeSO4 is a salt salt of a strong acid i.e H2SO4 and weak base i.e Fe(OH)3. The Fe(OH)3 on hydrolysis produces a strong acid i.e H2SO4 which on ionization produces greater number of H+ as compared to the hydroxyl ions produced by weak base.  

FeSO4     +   H2O  → H2 SO4    +      Fe(OH)3

Ferrous sulphate (salt) strong acid weak base

c):   NaCl when dissolved in water makes the solution neutral through the following reaction.

NaCl  → Na+    +     Cl

Na+    +   HOH → NaOH   +         H+

Cl     +     HOH  →  HCl        +       OH

Both NaOH and HCl are strong base and acid, they dissociates to give  Na+, OH, H+  and Cl ions and the solution behaves neutral
