Problem 162
For solutions of the same concentration, as acid strength increases, indicate what happens to each of the following (increases, decreases, or doesn't change). a. \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\) d. \(\mathrm{pOH}\) b. \(\mathrm{pH}\) e. \(K_{\mathrm{a}}\) c. \(\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]\)
Problem 174
Making use of the assumptions we ordinarily make in calculating the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of an aqueous solution of a weak acid, calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of a \(1.0 \times 10^{-6}-M\) solution of hypobromous acid (HBrO, \(K_{\mathrm{a}}=2 \times 10^{-9}\) ). What is wrong with your answer? Why is it wrong? Without trying to solve the problem, explain what has to be included to solve the problem correctly.
Problem 179
Consider \(1000 . \mathrm{mL}\) of a \(1.00 \times 10^{-4}-M\) solution of a certain acid HA that has a \(K_{\mathrm{a}}\) value equal to \(1.00 \times 10^{-4}\). How much water was added or removed (by evaporation) so that a solution remains in which \(25.0 \%\) of HA is dissociated at equilibrium? Assume that HA is nonvolatile.
