Study Aids:
Click the Study Aids tab at the bottom of the book to access your Study Aids (usually practice quizzes and flash cards).
Study Pass:
Study Pass is our latest digital product that lets you take notes, highlight important sections of the text using different colors, create "tags" or labels to filter your notes and highlights, and print so you can study offline. Study Pass also includes interactive study aids, such as flash cards and quizzes.
Highlighting and Taking Notes:
If you've purchased the All Access Pass or Study Pass, in the online reader, click and drag your mouse to highlight text. When you do a small button appears – simply click on it! From there, you can select a highlight color, add notes, add tags, or any combination.
Printing:
If you've purchased the All Access Pass, you can print each chapter by clicking on the Downloads tab. If you have Study Pass, click on the print icon within Study View to print out your notes and highlighted sections.
Search:
To search, use the text box at the bottom of the book. Click a search result to be taken to that chapter or section of the book (note you may need to scroll down to get to the result).

12.8 End-of-Chapter Material
Additional Exercises
-
Write the balanced chemical equation between Zn metal and HCl(aq). The other product is ZnCl2.
-
Write the neutralization reaction in which ZnCl2, also found in Exercise 1, is the salt product.
-
Why isn’t an oxide compound like CaO considered a salt? (Hint: what acid-base combination would be needed to make it if it were a salt?)
-
Metal oxides are considered basic because they react with H2O to form OH compounds. Write the chemical equation for a reaction that forms a base when CaO is combined with H2O.
-
Write the balanced chemical equation between aluminum hydroxide and sulfuric acid.
-
Write the balanced chemical equation between phosphoric acid and barium hydroxide.
-
Write the equation for the chemical reaction that occurs when caffeine (C8H10N4O2) acts as a Brønsted-Lowry base.
-
Citric acid (C6H8O7) is the acid found in citrus fruits. It can lose a maximum of three H+ ions in the presence of a base. Write the chemical equations for citric acid acting stepwise as a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
-
Can an amphiprotic substance be a strong acid and a strong base at the same time? Explain your answer.
-
Can an amphiprotic substance be a weak acid and a weak base at the same time? If so, explain why and give an example.
-
Under what conditions will the equivalence point of a titration be slightly acidic?
-
Under what conditions will the equivalence point of a titration be slightly basic?
-
Write the chemical equation for the autoionization of NH3.
-
Write the chemical equation for the autoionization of HF.
-
What is the pOH range for an acidic solution?
-
What is the pOH range for a basic solution?
-
The concentration of commercial HCl is about 12 M. What is its pH and pOH?
-
The concentration of concentrated H2SO4 is about 18 M. Assuming only one H+ comes off the H2SO4 molecule, what is its pH and pOH? What would the pH and pOH be if the second H+ were also ionized?
Answers
-
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
-
-
The O2− ion would come from H2O, which is not considered a classic acid in the Arrhenius sense.
-
-
2Al(OH)3 + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 6H2O
-
-
C8H10N4O2 + H2O → C8H10N4O2H+ + OH−; the H+ ion attaches to one of the N atoms in the caffeine molecule.
-
-
As a strong acid or base, an amphiprotic substance reacts 100% as an acid or a base, so it cannot be a base or an acid at the same time.
-
-
if the salt produced is an acidic salt
-
-
NH3 + NH3 → NH4+ + NH2−
-
-
pOH > 7
-
-
pH = −1.08; pOH = 15.08
