56. The conjugate base of citric acid is citrate ion.
57. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Citric acid is used for flavouring foods,
stabilizing pH, and deterring the growth of bacteria.
Understanding
58. Nitric acid produces hydrogen ions in aqueous solution.
59. Ammonia is a Brønsted–Lowry base because it accepts protons, but it is not an
Arrhenius base because it does not ionize to form hydroxide ions.
60. The concentration of liquid water does not change; so it is part of the constant, K.
61. The acid with the smallest Ka ionizes the least and therefore adds the least amount of
hydrogen ion to the solution. Therefore, the acid with a Ka of 1 × 10−6 has the higher pH.
62. When the concentration of a hydrochloric acid solution is doubled, the pH of the
solution does not decrease by a factor of two because pH is a logarithmic scale, not a
linear scale.

pH = −log[H+(aq)]
log(1.0 × 10−7) = −7
−log(1.0 × 10−7) = 7
64. A weak acid is an acid that has a low dissociation. Concentration refers to the amount
of material in solution, not dissociation; therefore, an acid can be both weak and
concentrated.
65. According to Le Châtelier’s principle, increased pressure shifts the equilibrium
toward fewer molecules of gas. In this synthesis, there is a shift toward the product.
66. Hydrofluoric acid has the higher percentage ionization because its Ka value is larger.
67. The order is Ka1 > Ka2 > Ka3 because it is harder to remove additional protons as the
negative charge on the ion increases.
68. Water does not act as a diprotic acid because the hydroxide ion is such a weak acid
that it does not donate a proton in aqueous solutions.
69. (a) The conjugate base is a stronger base than water.
(b) [H+(aq)] > [HA(aq)]
70. The pH of the aqueous salt depends on the ability of the ions to hydrolyze and change
the pH of the solution.

Statement: The pH before titration begins is 2.22.
(b) Required: pH after 50.0 mL of 0.100 mol/L KOH is added
Solution: Before titration begins:
n HC2H3O2(aq) = [HC2H3O2(aq)] × VHC2H3O2(aq)
= (0.200 mmol/mL)(100.00 mL)
n HC2H3O2(aq) = 20.00 mmol
Amount of KOH(aq) added:
nKOH(aq) =[KOH(aq)] × VKOH(aq)
= (0.100 mmol/mL)(50.00 mL)
nKOH(aq) = 5.00 mmol
Since KOH(aq) reacts completely with ethanoic acid:
Unreacted ethanoic acid = n HC2H3O2(aq) – nKOH(aq)
= 20.00 mmol – 5.00 mmol
Unreacted ethanoic acid = 15.0 mmol
Since 50.00 mL of KOH(aq) was added to 100.00 mL of ethanoic acid solution, the
total volume is now 150.00 mL.

(c) Required: pH after 100.0 mL of 0.100 mol/L KOH is added
Solution: Before titration begins:

n HC2H3O2(aq) = 20.00 mmol
Amount of KOH(aq) added:
nKOH(aq) =[KOH(aq)] × VKOH(aq)
= (0.100 mmol/mL)(100.00 mL)
nKOH(aq) = 10.00 mmol
Since KOH(aq) reacts completely with ethanoic acid:
Unreacted ethanoic acid = n HC2H3O2(aq) – nKOH(aq)
= 20.00 mmol – 10.00 mmol
Unreacted ethanoic acid = 10.0 mmol
Since 100.00 mL of KOH(aq) was added to 100.00 mL of ethanoic acid solution, the

Therefore [H+(aq)] = x ≈ 1.8 × 10–5 and the pH can be determined:
pH = –log[H+(aq)]
≈ –log(1.8 × 10–5)
pH ≈ 4.74
Statement: The pH of the solution is 4.74
(d) Required: pH after 150.0 mL of 0.100 mol/L KOH(aq) is added
Solution: Before titration begins:
n HC2H3O2(aq) = [HC2H3O2(aq)] × VHC2H3O2(aq)
= (0.200 mmol/mL)(100.00 mL)
n HC2H3O2(aq) = 20.00 mmol
Amount of KOH(aq) added:
nKOH(aq) =[KOH(aq)] × VKOH(aq)
= (0.100 mmol/mL)(150.00 mL)
nKOH(aq) = 15.00 mmol
Since KOH(aq) reacts completely with ethanoic acid:
Unreacted ethanoic acid = n HC2H3O2(aq) – nKOH(aq)
= 20.00 mmol – 15.00 mmol
Unreacted ethanoic acid = 5.0 mmol
Since 150.00 mL of KOH(aq) was added to 100.00 mL of ethanoic acid solution, the
total volume is now 250.00 mL.
The concentration of unreacted ethanoic acid, [HC2H3O2(aq)], can be determined:

pH ≈ 5.22
Statement: The pH of the solution is 5.22
(e) Required: pH after 200.0 mL of 0.100 mol/L KOH is added
Solution: Before titration begins:
n HC2H3O2(aq) = [HC2H3O2(aq)] × VHC2H3O2(aq)
= (0.200 mmol/mL)(100.00 mL)
n HC2H3O2(aq) = 20.00 mmol
Amount of KOH(aq) added:

Since KOH(aq) reacts completely with ethanoic acid:
Unreacted ethanoic acid = n HC2H3O2 – nKOH
= 20.00 mmol – 20.00 mmol
Unreacted ethanoic acid = 0.00 mmol
Since 200.00 mL of KOH(aq) was added to 100.00 mL of ethanoic acid solution, the
total volume is now 300.00 mL. The pH of the resulting solution is determined by
the hydrolysis of the ethanoate ion.

73. Most indicators can be used for this type of titration because the pH changes from
very low to very high close to the equivalence point.
74. Methyl yellow is a better indicator because the equivalence point has a pH greater
than 7 and thymol blue changes colour at a very low pH.
75. Buffer systems can be either acidic, basic or neutral. An acidic buffer consists of a
weak acid in equilibrium with its conjugate base:
HA(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + A−(aq)
When an acid is added to this system, the additional hydrogen ions react with the
conjugate base, A–1(aq) to form HA(aq). As a result, the system shifts to the left.
Conversely, when a base is added to this system, the hydroxide ions from the base react
with the hydrogen ions from the equilibrium, causing the system to shift to the right.
A basic buffer consists of a weak base, B(aq), in equilibrium with its conjugate acid,
BH+(aq) :
B(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ BH+(aq) + OH−(aq)
When an acid is added to this system, the additional hydrogen ions react with the
hydroxide ions from the equilibrium. As a result, the system shifts to the left.
Conversely, when a base is added to this system, the hydroxide ions from the base react
with the conjugate acid, causing the system to shift to the right.

chloride are essentially completely ionized; no equilibrium is established to form a
buffer.

78. (a) In the lungs, Hb(O2)4 is favoured; in cells, HbH44+(aq) is favoured.
(b) As the carbon dioxide level falls, the equilibrium of the carbonic acid-hydrogen
carbonate buffer shifts toward carbonic acid, which decreases pH. Breathing into a bag
increases carbon dioxide, which raises the pH and releases oxygen.
(c) Sodium hydrogen carbonate increases pH and releases oxygen in the blood.

83. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Prepare buffer solutions with known pH across
the entire pH range. Prepare a solution of a weak acid with pH = 4. Add methyl orange
indicator to make an orange-coloured solution. Prepare a solution of a weak base at the
same concentration with pH = 10. Add thymolphthalein to make a blue solution.
Combine equal amounts of the two coloured solutions to make a colourless solution.
84. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Choose an acid or base whose Ka is close to the
desired [H+]. Calculate the concentrations of the acid or base and its salt needed to
produce a buffer at the pH. Prepare the solution. Determine the pH and adjust by adding
the acid or base or its salt to get to the exact pH required.
85. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Titrate samples of the buffer with a strong acid
and with a strong base to determine the amount of hydrogen ions and the amount of
hydroxide ions that can be added without substantial change to the pH.

89. Phenolphthalein is not an appropriate indicator for this titration because it does not
change colour at a pH near the equivalence point. Methyl red is a better indicator for this
titration.
90. A titration of a weak acid with a weak base is not feasible because there would be a
buffering effect around the endpoint, and so the curve would not have a sharp break.
Reflect on Your Learning
91. Answers will vary. Sample answer: There may be many examples of acids and bases
in foods, cleaning solutions, medicines, and other everyday substances. A pH meter or
pH indicator strips could be used to search for examples.
92. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Many materials may act as indicators if they are
acidic or basic and have a different colour than their salt. A stain remover could work by
changing the pH of the coloured substance to a form that does not have colour.
93. Answers will vary based on student experience.
Research
94. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Because acid forms as substances in the paper
break down, books that are printed on acidic paper are stored at cool temperatures and
low humidity to slow the reactions. Valuable books can often be treated with a slightly
basic buffer solution to neutralize the acid and react with the additional acid that forms.
95. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Arab scientists learned to make alkali hydroxides
at least 1200 years ago. The first alkali hydroxides to be isolated, sodium hydroxides and
potassium hydroxide, were produced from the ashes of burnt wood. The word alkali
comes from the Arab word for ashes.

97. Answers will vary. Students should trace acid rain through the pH change in lakes
and streams, and connect this information to the presence of nitrogen and sulfur
compounds in the atmosphere. By relating higher concentrations of these compounds to
power plant locations and population centres, students can point to the combustion of
fuels as the original source.
98. Answers will vary. Sample answer: The main goal of food preservation is to kill and
prevent growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. Most organisms
exist in a particular pH range. Acidic foods, such as tomatoes, naturally resist spoiling
when they are canned. Other foods can be preserved by pickling in vinegar, which
decreases its pH, or sometimes by treating with lye to increase the pH.
99. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Limestone is made of calcium carbonate, a weak
base, which can neutralize the acid in acid rain and act as a buffer to maintain lake water
at an optimum pH. Limestone is used for treating lakes and streams because it is a natural
material, is mined in many locations around the world, and dissolves slowly, producing a
long-lasting treatment.
100. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Svante Arrhenius was a research chemist and
professor in Sweden during the late 1800s and early 1900s. His contributions to
chemistry include the observation that pure water does not conduct electric current but a
salt solution does conduct because salts form ions in solution. He expanded on the theory
of ions to include a definition of acids and bases as substances that form hydrogen ions
and hydroxide ions in solution. In addition to his studies of ions, he developed the
concept of activation energy in chemical reactions, one of the basic concepts of collision
theory. Arrhenius was the first scientist to relate temperature on Earth to the
concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and also to predict global warming as
a result of burning fossil fuels.
101. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Acid indigestion and acid reflux occur when
stomach acids leak into the esophagus and damage tissues. The simplest medical
treatment is an antacid, which is a basic compound that reduces the acidity of the stomach
contents. Other treatments reduce the amount of acid by causing cells in the digestive
system to reduce the production of acidic compounds.

102. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Buffers are used in medicines to control the
effect of pH changes on the pharmaceutical compound and to match the pH of the
medicine to that of the body system where it is used. Most body fluids contain buffering
compounds that control pH. Matching the medicine to the pH of the body increases the
effectiveness of delivering the medicine and protects tissues from possibly harmful pH
changes.
103. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Most toothpastes for controlling tooth decay use
fluoride salts such as stannous fluoride. The fluoride ion replaces the hydroxide ion in
hydroxyapatite, forming a surface coating that has a lower reactivity with acids.
104. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Occupations in which people would monitor pH
regularly include manufacturing chemists and technicians who use pH probes and
titrations to measure acids and bases during chemical reactions, environmental
technicians who use probes to monitor and control acidity in streams and lakes, medical
lab technicians who measure the pH of body fluids, and food chemists who use
information about pH to process foods safely.
105. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Household products use a wide variety of
acids and bases. Acids used at home include the acetic acid in vinegar, which is a
component of many cleaning compounds, and citric acid, used to preserve foods.
Household bases include ammonia (base), used in cleaning and disinfecting solutions and
in treatments for insect bites and stings, and sodium carbonate, a component of laundry
detergents.
106. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Most plants grow best within a particular pH
range. Depending on the type of plant and its specific needs for elements and compounds
in soil, the optimum pH range can vary from about 6 to 7.5. Farmers adjust soil pH by
adding mineral elements and compounds to the soil. The most common mineral soil
conditioners are lime, composed of calcium carbonate and/or magnesium carbonate,
which is used to increase soil pH, and sulfur, used to decrease soil pH.
