Define pOH. Write an equation relating pH and pOH.
Calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of each of these solutions: (a) \(0.0010 \mathrm{MHCl},\) (b) \(0.76 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{KOH}\) (c) \(2.8 \times 10^{-4} M\) \(\mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_{2},(\mathrm{~d}) 5.2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HNO}_{3}\).
Oxalic acid \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)\) has the following structure: An oxalic acid solution contains these species in varying concentrations: \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}, \mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}^{-}, \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}^{2-}\), and \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\). (a) Draw Lewis structures of \(\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}^{-}\) and \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}^{2-}\). (b) Which of the four species listed here can act only as acids, which can act only as bases, and which can act as both acids and bases?
Consider the following compounds: Experimentally, phenol is found to be a stronger acid than methanol. Explain this difference in terms of the structures of the conjugate bases. (Hint: A more stable conjugate base favors ionization. Only one of the conjugate bases can be stabilized by resonance.
Explain why small, highly charged metal ions are able to undergo hydrolysis.
