A cook dissolves a teaspoon of baking soda (NaHCO \(_{3}\) ) in a cup of water and then discovers that the recipe calls for a tablespoon, not a teaspoon. If the cook adds two more teaspoons of baking soda to make up the difference, does the additional baking soda change the pH of the solution? Explain why or why not.
At a particular temperature, the \(\left[\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}\right]\) in a saturated solution of barium sulfate is \(1.04 \times 10^{-5} M .\) Starting with this information, calculate the \(K_{\mathrm{sp}}\) value of barium sulfate at this temperature.
A pH 3.00 buffer is prepared by mixing solutions of nitrous acid and sodium nitrite. The total concentration of nitrous acid and sodium nitrate in the buffer is \(0.100 M\) Suppose 1.00 milliliter of \(1.00 M \mathrm{HCl}\) is added to a \(100 \mathrm{mL}\) sample of the buffer and 1.00 milliliter of \(1.00 M\) \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) is added to another \(100 \mathrm{mL}\) sample. In which sample would the addition of strong acid or base produce the greater change in \(\mathrm{pH}\) ? Explain your selection.
Why is \(\mathrm{BF}_{3}\) a Lewis acid but not a Bronsted-Lowry acid?
What effect does adding more NaF have on the pH and buffer capacity of an aqueous solution that is initially \(1.0 \mathrm{MHF}\) and \(0.50 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaF} ?\)
