For conjugate acidbase pairs, how are Ka and Kb related? Consider the reaction of acetic acid in water CH3CO2H(aq)+H2O(l)CH3CO2(aq)+H3O+(aq) where Ka = 1.8 105 a. Which two bases are competing for the proton? b. Which is the stronger base? c. In light of your answer to part b. why do we classify the acetate ion (CH3CO2) as a weak base? Use an appropriate reaction to justify your answer. In general, as base strength increases, conjugate acid strength decreases. Explain why the conjugate acid of the weak base NH3 is a weak acid. To summarize, the conjugate base of a weak acid is a weak base and the conjugate acid of a weak base is a weak acid (weak gives you weak). Assuming Ka for a monoprotic strong acid is 1 106, calculate Kb for the conjugate base of this strong acid. Why do conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties in water? List the conjugate bases of the six common strong acids. To tie it all together, some instructors have students think of Li+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ as the conjugate acids of the strong bases LiOH, KOH. RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2. Although not technically correct, the conjugate acid strength of these cations is similar to the conjugate base strength of the strong acids. That is, these cations have no acidic properties in water; similarly, the conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties (strong gives you worthless). Fill in the blanks with the correct response. The conjugate base of a weak acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a weak base is a_____acid. The conjugate base of a strong acid is a_____base. The conjugate acid of a strong base is a_____ acid. (Hint: Weak gives you weak and strong gives you worthless.)

4) A highly toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a weak acid. A chemical engineer plans to determine pH of a 50 mL sample of HCN (0.10 M) in a titration process. To this end, she used 0.20 M NaOH as a titrant in varying volumes. Calculate the pH of the solution at the following points: (Ka for HCN=6.2×10-¹0) (a) Before addition of NaOH (initial pH), (b) After 10.00 mL of titrant addition, (c) After 25.00 mL of titrant addition, (d) After 50.00 mL of titrant addition.
Consider the titration of a weak acid that has a pKa = 4.00. Suppose a chemist was going to perform a titration on 50.0 mL of 0.050 0 M of the weak acid using 0.500 M NaOH. (A) What would be the pH of the solution after 0.00 mL of 0.500 M NaOH has been added?(B) What would be the pH halfway to the equivalence point of the titration?(C) What would be the pH at the equivalence point in the titration? (D) What would be the pH of the solution after 6.00 mL of 0.500 M NaOH has been added? Use the following reasoning when solving this problem. Because at the equivalence point the moles of strong base (0.500 M NaOH) added as a titrant equal the moles of weak acid, HA (50.0 ml of 0.050 M) in the solution, we can start by calculating the volume of 0.500 M NaOH needed to reach the equivalence point. To do this we simply equate the moles of HA to moles of NaOH by using the dilution formula. i.e. MaVa = MbVb where a represents HA and b represents NaOH. To calculate volume of NaOH needed to reach…
