ionic bonding

presence of a hydroxide or hydrogen ion

  1. What is another name for the acid dissociation constant? (1 point)

equilibrium constant

mole fraction

  1. Acetic acid ionizes in water as follows:

CH3COOH + H2O CH3COO– + H3O+

Fewer than 1% of ethanoic acid molecules are ionized at any instant. The acetate ion (CH3COO– ) is therefore ____. (1 point)

a poor hydrogen-ion acceptor

a good hydrogen-ion acceptor

a poor hydrogen-ion donor

a good hydrogen-ion donor

  1. A substance of Ka of 1 x 10–5 would be classified as a ____. (1 point)

strong acid

weak acid

strong base

weak base

  1. A base has a Kb of 2.5 x 10–11. Which of the following statements is true? (1 point)

This is a concentrated base.

This base ionizes slightly in aqueous solution.

This is a strong base.

An aqueous solution of this base would be acidic.

  • 1. A strong or weak base will easily separate into its ions when added to water, Therefore it will be highly soluble.

    "complete ionization in water"

    1. See above. " Ionization constant"

    2. Look at the reaction. The CH3COOH lost a hydrogen, and the H2) gained a hydrogen to form the hydronium ion (H3O+).

    Therefore, "a good hydrogen-ion donor"

    1. Take the negative log of that number....=5

    The pH is 5. If a pH of 7 is neutral, and less than 7 is acidic, greater than 7 is basic .... Is 5 closer to 1 or 7? Is it more acidic or closer to neutral?

    1. Same as above. Take then negative log of Kb.....= 10.6

    So is it closer to 7 (neutral) or closer to 14 (highly basic)?

  • 1. Complete ionization in water.

    1. Ionization constant.

    2. A good hydrogen-ion acceptor.

    3. Weak acid.

    5. This base ionizes slightly in aqueous.
