1. a. Base (Strong) -> Li++OH- b. Base (weak) -> Mg2++2OH- (these ions will be found in solution but to a lesser extent than if this was a strong base) c. Acid (weak) -> H+ + ClO- (these ions will be found in solution but to a lesser extent than if this was a strong acid) d. Acid (strong) -> H+ + Br- e. Base (Strong) -> K+ + OH- f. Acid (weak) -> HSO3- + H+ (these ions will be found in solution but to a lesser extent than if this was a strong acid) 2. It has a proton that can be transferred3. Left. The concentration of hydroxide and hydronium ions in pure water is very, very small. Although it is rarely something you need to worry about when looking at acids and bases in solution,it does help account for certain properties of water such as electrical conductivity. 4. HCO3- + HCl -> H2CO3 (acting as a base)HCO3- + NaOH -> NaCO3 + H2O (acting as an acid) 5. SO42- + H3O+
7. HCl is a stronger acid than H2S. Acids become stronger as the X-H bond becomes more polar. The larger the difference in the electronegativity between X and H atoms, the easier it is to form H + and X - ions. b. Lewis acid. Ag+ is a cation. c. Lewis acid. Ni2+ is a cation. d. Lewis acid. Pt4+ is a cation. e. Lewis base. Oxygen has lone pairs f. Lewis acid. Sulfur can accept the lone pair electrons from another atom 10. SiF4 has a central Silicon Atom which can expand its octet to 12 (compared to the typical 8) so that it forms [SiF6]2-. |
