Acids and Bases Question
Question on acids: Hydrogen chloride has a boiling point of –85 o C. (a) Explain, in terms of structure and bonding, why hydrogen chloride has low boiling point. (b) Hydrogen chloride dissolves in water to form and acidic solution. Write the formula of the ion responsible for the acidity. (c) Is this solution a strong or weak acid? (d) Does this solution conduct electricity? Briefly explain why. (e) Calculate the mass of hydrogen chloride which should be dissolved in 100 cm 3 of water to give 1.00 mol/dm 3 of HCl(aq). (f) When 100 cm 3 of 1.0 mol/dm 3 of HCl(aq) is added from a burette to 50 cm 3 of 1.0 mol/dm 3 of NaOH(aq), which is in the conical flask, state the chemical formula of the compounds present in the final mixture. Sketch the pH titration curve with pH on the y-axis and volume of HCl added on the x-axis. (g) Write the ioni...
