The following scenes represent three weak acids HA

(a) Rank the acids in order of increasing Ka.
(b) Rank the acids in order of increasing
c) Rank the conjugate bases in order of increasing .
(d) What is the percent dissociation of HX?
(e) If equimolar amounts of the sodium salts of the acids (NaX, NaY, and NaZ) were dissolved in water, which solution would have the highest pOH? The lowest pH?
Explain the differing extents of dissociation of in and .
(a) A Br酶nsted-Lowry acid-base reaction proceeds in the net direction in which a stronger acid and stronger base form a weaker acid and weaker base. Explain
(b) The molecular scene at the right depicts an aqueous solution of two conjugate acid-base pairs: HA/A and HB/B. The base in the first pair is represented by red spheres and the base in the second pair by green spheres; solvent molecules are omitted for clarity. Which is the stronger acid? Stronger base? Explain.

Question: Use Appendix C to rank the following in order of increasing acid strength: .
Nitrogen is discharged from wastewater treatment facilities into rivers and streams, usually as and role="math" localid="1663321622328" :
role="math" localid="1663321638309"
One strategy for removing it is to raise the pH and 鈥渟trip鈥 the role="math" localid="1663321651423" from solution by bubbling air through the water.
(a) At pH=7.00, what fraction of the total nitrogen in solution isrole="math" localid="1663321664485" , de铿乶ed asrole="math" localid="1663321682077"
(b) What is the fraction at pH 10.00?
(c) Explain the basis of ammonia stripping.
