17 ASPECTOS ADICIONALES

EQUILIBRIO DE ACUOSOS
Visualización de conceptos

17.1 Analizar. Dados diagramas que muestran mezclas de equilibrio de HX y X -


con diferentes composiciones, decidir cuál tiene el pH más alto. HX es un ácido
débil y X- es su base conjugada. Plan. Evalúe el contenido de los cuadros. Utilice
los principios de equilibrio ácido-base para relacionar [H*] con la composición del
cuadro. Resolver.
Utilice el siguiente equilibrio de ionización ácida para describir las mezclas:
HX(aq) (aq) + X- (aq). Cada caja tiene 4 moléculas HX, pero diferentes
cantidades de X -
Iones. Cuanto mayor sea la cantidad de X - (base conjugada), para la misma
cantidad de HX (ácido débil), menor será la cantidad de Fl* y mayor será el pH. La
caja central, con la mayoría de las X-, tiene al menos 11* y pH más alto.
17.2 a) Según la Figura 16.7, el metilanaranja es amarillo por encima del pH 4.5 y
rojo (en realidad rosa) por debajo del pH 3.5. El vaso de precipitados de la
izquierda tiene un pH mayor que 4,5, y el de la derecha tiene un pH inferior a 3,5.
(Por cálculo, pH del vaso de precipitados izquierdo s 4,7, pH del vaso derecho a
2,9.) El vaso de precipitados derecho, con pH más bajo y mayor [1111, es ácido
acético puro. El vaso de precipitados izquierdo con tiene cantidades iguales del
ácido débil y su base conjugada, ácido acético y ion de acetato. La adición del
acetato de iones comunes (en forma de acetato de sodio) desplaza el equilibrio de
ionización ácida hacia la izquierda, disminuye [111] y aumenta el pH.
(b) Cuando se añaden pequeñas cantidades de NaOH, el vaso de precipitados
izquierdo es mantener su pH. Para las soluciones del mismo ácido débil, el pH
depende de la relación entre la base conjugada y el ácido conjugado. Pequeñas
adiciones de base (o ácido) tienen el menor efecto cuando esta relación es dosis a
uno. El vaso de precipitados izquierdo es un tampón porque contiene un par de
base conjugado conjugado débil y resiste el rápido cambio de pH tras la adición de
pequeñas cantidades de base fuerte o ácido.
17.3 [HX] > [Xi. Búferes preparados a partir de ácidos débiles (FIX) y sus bases
conjugadas (X-, generalmente en forma de sal) tienen valores de pH en un rango
de aproximadamente 2 unidades de pH, centrados alrededor de pKa para el ácido
débil. Si la concentración del ácido débil es mayor que la concentración de la base
conjugada, pH < pKa. Si la concentración de la base conjugada es mayor que la
concentración del ácido débil, pH > pKa. Esto es generalmente cierto para los
tampones que contienen un par de ácido conjugado débil (CA) y base conjugada
(CB).
[CA] > [CB], pH del buffer < pIC de CA
[CA] < [CB], pH del buffer > pKa de CA

Equilibria acuoso

17.4 Analizar/Planificar. Cuando se añade ácido fuerte a un tampón, reacciona con


la base conjugada (CB) para producir ácido conjugado (CA). [CA] aumenta y [CB]
disminuye. Lo contrario ocurre cuando se agrega una base fuerte a un búfer, [CB]
aumenta y [CA] disminuye.
Haga coincidir estas situaciones con los dibujos. Resolver.
El búfer comienza con concentraciones iguales de HX y X -.
(a) Después de la adición de ácido fuerte, [HX] aumentará y [X -] disminuirá. Dibujo
(3) se ajusta a esta descripción.
(b) La adición de una base fuerte hace que [HX] disminuya y [X-] aumente. Dibujo
(1)
coincide con la descripción.
(c) El dibujo (2) muestra que [HX] y [X -] son más pequeños que los
concentraciones mostradas a la izquierda. Esta situación no puede lograrse
añadiendo
ácido fuerte o base fuerte al tampón original.
17.5 Analizar/Planificar. Considere la reacción HA + OH - -4 A + H2O. ¿Cuáles son
los principales
especies presentes en solución en las etapas enumeradas de la valoración? ¿Qué
diagrama
representa a estas especies? Resolver.
(a) Antes de la adición de NaOH, la solución es principalmente HA. La única A - es
producida por
el equilibrio de ionización de HA y es demasiado pequeño para aparecer en el
diagrama. éste
situación se muestra en el diagrama que contiene solamente HA.
(b) Después de la adición de NaOH, pero antes del punto de equivalencia,
algunos, pero no todos, HA ha
se ha convertido a A-. La solución contiene una mezcla de HA y A-; esto se
muestra en el diagrama (i).
(c) En el punto de equivalencia, toda ha convertida en A, sin exceso de HA o
Oh, presente. Esto se muestra en el diagrama (iv).
(d) Después del punto de equivalencia, la misma cantidad de A - está presente que
en la equivalencia
punto, además de un poco de exceso OH-. Este es el diagrama (ii).
17.6 Analizar/Planificar. En cada caso, la primera sustancia está en el buret, y la
segunda está en el
flask. If acid is in the flask, the initial pH is low; with base in the flask, the pH starts
high. Strong acids have lower pH than weak acids; strong bases have higher pH
than weak bases. Polyprotic acids and bases have more than one "jump" in pH.
(a) Strong base in flask, pH starts high, ends low as acid is added. Only diagram
(ii)
fits this description.
(b) andWeak acid in flask, pH starts low, but not extremely low. Diagrams (i),
(iv) all start at low pH and get higher. Diagram (i) has very low initial pH, and likely
has strong add in the flask. Diagram (iv) has two pH jumps, so it has a polyprotic
acid in the flask. Diagram (iii) best fits the profile of adding a strong base to a weak
add.
(c) Strong acid in the flask, pH starts very low, diagram (i).
(d) Polyprotic acid, more than one pH jump, diagram (iv).

Aqueous Equilibria

17.7 Analyze. Given two titration curves where 0.10 M NaOH is the titrant, decide
which
represents the more concentrated acid, and which the stronger acid.
Plan. For equal volumes of acid, concentration is related to volume of titrant (0.10
M NaOH) at the equivalence points. To determine Ka, pH = pKa half -way to the
equivalence point.
Solve.
(a) Both acids have one ionizable hydrogen, because there is one "jump" in each
titration curve. For equal volumes of acid, and the same titrant, the more
concentrated acid requires a greater volume of titrant to reach equivalence. The
equivalence point of the blue curve is at 25 mL NaOH, the red curve at 35 mL
NaOH. The red acid is more concentrated.

(b) According to the Henderson-Hasselbach equation, pH = pKa + log [conj. base] •


[conj. acid]
At half-way to the equivalence point, [conj. acid] = [conj. base] and pH = plca of the
conjugate acid. For the blue curve, half -way is 12.5 mL NaOH. The pH at this
volume is approximately 7.0. For the red curve, half -way is 17.5 mL NaOH. The pH
at this volume is approximately 4.2. A plc, of 7 corresponds to K. of
1 x l0-7, while pIC of 4.2 corresponds to K. of 6 x 10 -5. The red acid has the larger
K. value.
Note that the stronger acid, the one with the larger K. value, has a larger change in
pH (jump) at the equivalence point. Also note that initial add pH was not a
definitive measure of acid strength, because the acids have different starting
concentrations. Both
K. values and concentration contribute to solution pH.
17.8 Analyze/Plan. The beaker of saturated Cd(OH)2(aq) contains undissolved
Cd(OH)2(s),
Cd2+(aq), and OH-(aq). Decide how amounts of each of these three components
change when HC1(aq) is added. Solve.
Cuando se agrega HC1(aq), reacciona con OH-(aq) para formar H20(1) y Cl-(aq).
(Ambos han sido omitidos de la figura.) Cuando OH-(aq) se elimina de la solución,
más Cd(OH)2(s) se disuelve para reemplazarlo; [Cd2+(aq)] aumenta, [OH - (aq)]
disminuye y la cantidad de Cd(OH)2(s) no disuelto(s) disminuye. En la solución
resultante, [Cd2+(aq)] es mayor que [OH-(aq)] y hay menos sólido no disuelto en la
parte inferior del vaso de precipitados. El vaso de precipitados A representa con
precisión la solución después de restablecer el equilibrio.
17.9 Analizar/Planificar. Los aniones u cationes comunes disminuyen la solubilidad
de las sales. Iones que
participar en equilibrios de iones complejos o de base ácida aumentan la
solubilidad. Resolver.
(a) CO23- de BaCO3 reacciona con H+ de HNO3, causando solubilidad de BaCO3
a
aumentar con el aumento de la concentración de HNO3. Este comporta miento
coincide con el diagrama correcto.
(b) Co23 adicional- de Na2CO3 disminuye la solubilidad de BaCO3. Solubilidad de
BaCO3 disminuye a medida que aumenta [Na2CO3]. Este comportamiento coincide
con el diagrama izquierdo.

c) NaNO3 no tiene iones comunes, ni entra en iones ácido -base o complejos


equilibrios con Ba2+ o C032-; no afecta a la solubilidad de BaCO3. Este
comportamiento se muestra en el diagrama ce ntral.
17.10 Analizar/Planificar. Calcule la molaridad de la solución suponiendo que se
disuelva toda la(OH)2(s) Ca(OH)2(s).
Utilice esta concentración junto con la expresión Ksp para Ca(OH)2 para
questions.

[Call = 0.00999 M; [OW] = 2(0.00998745) = 0.0199749 = 0.0200 M;

Ksp = [Ca2l-][OH-12. Calculate the reaction quotient using the calculated


molarities. If it is equal to or greater than Ksp, the resultin g solution is saturated.
Q = (0.0098745)(0.0199749)2 = 3.99 x 10-6.
Q < Ksp (6.5 x 10-6) and the solution is not saturated.
(b) Consider the beakers individually.
(i) The 50 mL of 1.0 M HG is more than enough to neutralize 50 mL of
0.0200 M (aq). No precipitate forms.
NaG does not react with Ca(OH)2 and the two compounds contain no common
ions. No precipitate forms.
CaC12 does contain a common ion. Calculate Q for the resulting solution to see if
Ca(OH)2 precipitates. [OH-] in the new solution is 0.00999 M, because it is diluted
by a factor of 2. [Ca21] = (1.0 + 0.00999)/2 = 0.5050 M.
Q = (0.5050)(0.00999)2 = 5.04 x 10-5.
Q > Ksp (6.5 x 10-6) and Ca(OH)2 precipitates.
(iv) A common ion with a different concentration; = (0.10 + 0.00999)/2 =
0.0550 = 0.055 M. Q = (0.0550)(0.0999)2 = 5.49 x 10-6. Q p Ksp (6.5 x 10-6); the
solution is very nearly saturated, but no precipitate forms.
17.11 A metal hydroxide that is soluble at very low and very high pH's, that is, in
strong acid
or strong base, is called amphoteric.
17.12 According to Figure 17.23, the two precipitating agents are 6 M HO (first)
and H2S in
0,2 M HG (segundo).

Buffered Solutions (section 17.2)

17.19 CH3COOH and CH3COONa are a weak conjugate acid/conjugate base pair
which acts
as a buffer because unionized CH3COOH reacts with added base, while CH3C00 -
combines with added acid, leaving [111 relatively unchanged. Although Ha and
NaC1 are a conjugate acid/conjugate base pair, is a negligible base. That is, it has
no tendency to combine with added acid to form molecular HC1. Any added acid
simply increases [H+] in an HC1/NaC1 mixture. In general, the conjugate bases of
strong acids are negligible and mixtures of strong acids and their conjugate salts
do not act as buffers.

17.20 NaOH is a strong base and will react with CH3COOH to form CH3COONa. As
long as
CH3COOH is present in excess, the resulting solution will contain both the
conjugate acid CH3COOH(aq) and the conjugate base CH3C00 - (aq), the
requirements for a buffer.

17.31 Analyze. Given six solutions, decide which two should be used to prepare a
pH 3.50
buffer. Calculate the volumes of the two 0.10 M solutions nee ded to make
approximately 1 L of buffer.
Plan. A buffer must contain a conjugate acid/conjugate base (CA/CB) pair. By
examining the chemical formulas, decide which pairs of solutions could be used to
make a buffer. If there is more than one possible pair, calculate pKa for the acids.
A buffer is most effective when its pH is within 1 pH unit of pKa for the conjugate
acid component. Select the pair with pKa nearest to 3.50. Use Equation [17.9] to
calculate the [CB]/ [CA] ratio and the volumes of 0.10 M solut ions needed to
prepare 1 L of buffer.
Solve.

There are three CA/CB pairs:

HCOOH/HCOONa, pKa = 3.74

CH3COOH/CH3COONa, pKa = 4.74

H3PO4/NaH2PO4, pKa = 2.12


The most appropriate solutions are HCOOH/HCOONa, because pKa for HCOOH is
nearest to 3.50.

Since we are making a total of 1 L of buffer,

360 mL of 0.10 M HCOONa, 640 mL of 0.10 M HCOOH.
Check. The pH of the buffer is less than pKa for the conjugate acid, indicating that
the amount of CA in the buffer is greater than the amount of CB. This agrees with
our result.
17.32 The solutes listed contain three possible conjugate acid/conjugate base
(CA/CB) pairs.
These are:
HCOOH/HCOONa, pKa = 3.74
CH3COOH/CH3COONa, pKa = 4.74 HCN/NaCN, pKa = 9.31
For maximum buffer capacity, pKa should be within 1 pH unit of the buffer. The
acetic acid/acetate pair are most appropriate for a buffer with pH 5.00.
pH = pKa +log [C13] • 5.0000 = 4 745 +log [CH3COONa]

let y = vol CH3COONa and (1- y) = vol CH3COOH.

0.10 M CH3COONa, 360 mL CH3COOH
Check. pH (buffer) > pKa (CA) and the calculated amount of CB in the buffer is
greater than the amount of CA.

Acid-Base Titrations (section 17.3)

17.33 (a) Curve B. The initial pH is lower and the equivalence point region is
steeper.
(b) pH at the approximate equivalence point of curve A = 8.0
pH at the approximate equivalence point of curve B = 7.0
(c) Volume of base required to reach the equivalence point depends only on moles
of
acid present; it is independent of acid strength. Since acid B requires 40 mL and
acid A requires only 30 mL, more moles of acid B are being titrated. For equ al
volumes of A and B, the concentration of acid B is greater.
17.34 (a) The quantity of base required to reach the equivalence point is the same
in the
two titrations, assuming both sample solutions contain equal moles of acid.

(b) The pH is higher initially in the titration of a weak acid.


(c) The pH is higher at the equivalence point in the titration of a weak acid.
(d) The pH in excess base is essentially the same for the two cases.
(e) In titrating a weak acid, one needs an indicator that changes at a higher pH
than
for the strong acid titration. The choice is more critical because the change in pH
close to the equivalence point is smaller for the weak acid titration.
17.35 (a) False. The same volume of NaOH(aq) is required to reach the
equivalence point
of both titrations, because moles of acid to be titrated are the same in both flasks.
(b) True. CH3COONa, the salt formed in the titration of CH3COOH, produces a
basic solution, while NaNO3, formed in the titration of HNO3 produces a neutral
solution.
(c) True. Even though the pH values at the equivalence points of the two titrations
are different, phenolphthalein changes color over a wide range of pH values and is
appropriate for both titrations.
17.36 (a) False. The pH at the beginning of the titration of the weaker acid,
CH3COOH,
will be higher.
(b) True. Past the equivalence point, the titration curves are very similar (but not
identical.
(c) False. According to Figures 17.13 and 17.14, methyl red is suitable for the
titration of the strong acid HNO3, but not for the titration of the weak acid
CH3COOH.
17.37 Analyze. Given reactants, predict whether pH at the equivalence point of a
titration is
less than, equal to or greater than 7.
Plan. At the equivalence point of a titration, only product is present in solution;
there is
no excess of either reactant. Determine the product of each reaction and whether a
solution of it is acidic, basic or neutral. Solve.
(a) NaHCO3 (aq) + NaOH(aq) —› Na2CO3(aq) + H20(1)
At the equivalence point, the major species in solution are Na* and C032 -. Na* is
negligible and C032- is the CB of HCO3-. The solution is basic, above pH 7.
(b) NH3 (aq) + HC1(aq) —› NH4C1(aq)
At the equivalence point, the major species are NH4* and Q. Cl- is negligible, NH4*
is the CA of NH3. The solution is acidic, below pH 7.
(c) KOH(aq) + HBr(aq) —› KBr(aq) + H20(1)
At the equivalence point, the major species are K+ and Br -; both are negligible.
The solution is at pH 7.
17.38 (a) HCOOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) —› HCOONa(aq) + H20(1)
At the equivalence point, the major species are Na* and HC00 -. Na* is negligible
and HCOO- is the CB of HCOOH. The solution is basic, above pH 7.

(b) Ca(OH) 2(aq) + 2HC104(aq) -+ Ca(C104)2(aq) + 21120(1)


At the equivalence point, the major species are Ca2+ and C104 -; both are
negligible. The solution is at pH 7.
(c) C5H5N(aq) + HNO3(aq) -+ C5H5NH+ NO3- (aq)
At the equivalence point, the major species are C5H5NH+ and NO3 -. NO3- is
negligible and C5H5NH+ is the CA of C5H5N. The solution is acidic, below pH 7.
17.39 The second color change, from yellow to blue near pH = 8.5, is more suitable
for the
titration of a weak acid with a strong base. The salt present at the equivalence
point of this type of titration produces a slightly basic solution. The second color
change of Thymol blue is in the correct pH range to show (indicate) the
equivalence point.
17.40 (a) At the equivalence point, moles HX added = moles B initially present =
0.10 M x 0.0300 L = 0.0030 moles FIX added.
(b) BH+ (aq)
(c) Both Ka for BH+ and concentration BH+ determine pH at the equivalence point.
(d) Because the pH at the equivalence point will be less th an 7, methyl red would
be
more appropriate.
17.41 Analyze/Plan. We are asked to calculate the volume of 0.0850 M NaOH
required to
titrate various add solutions to their equivalence point. At the equivalence point,
moles base added equals moles acid initially present. Solve the stoichiometry

In each case, identify the salt present at the equivalence point, determine its acid-

Note that HC1O2 is a relatively strong acid (large Ka value), so the pH at the
equivalence point is not much greater than 7.0. Since [OH -] from the hydrolysis of
C102- is very small, the autoionization equilibrium should be considered for a more

(sections 17.4 and 17.5)

17.49 (a) The concentration of undissolved solid does not appear in the solubility
product
expression because it is constant as long as there is solid present. Concentration
is a ratio of moles solid to volume of the solid; solids occupy a specific volume not
dependent on the solution volume. As the amount (moles) of solid changes, the
volume changes proportionally, so that the ratio of moles solid to volume solid is
constant.

Qualitative Analysis for Metallic Elements (section 17.7)

17.75 Analyze/Plan. Use Figure 17.23 and the description of the five qualitative
analysis
"groups" in Section 17.7 to analyze the given data. Solve.
The first two experiments eliminate Group 1 and 2 ions (Figure 17.23). The fact
that no insoluble phosphates form in the filtrate from the third experiment rules out
Group 4 ions. The ions which might be in th e sample are those of Group 3, that is,
A13+, Fe3+, Cr3+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, or Co2+, and those of Group 5, NH4+, Na+
or K

17.76 Initial solubility in water rules out CdS and HgO. Formation of a precipitate
on addition
of HC1 indicates the presence of Pb(NO3)2 (formation of PbC12). Formation of a
precipitate on addition of H2S at pH 1 probably indicates Cd(NO3)2 (formation of
CdS). (This test can be misleading because enough Pb2+ can remain in solution
after filtering PbC12 to lead to visible precipitation of PbS.) Absence of a
precipitate on addition of H2S at pH 8 indicates that ZnSO4 is not present. The
yellow flame test indicates presence of Na+. In summary, Pb(NO3)2 and Na2SO4
are definitely present, Cd(NO3)2 is probably present, and CdS, HgO and ZnSO4
are definitely absent.
17.77 Analyze/Plan. We are asked to devise a procedure to separate various pairs
of ions in
aqueous solutions. In each case, refer to Figure 17.23 to find a set of conditions
where
the solubility of the two ions differs. Construct a procedure to generate these
conditions. Solve.
(a) Cd2+ is in Gp. 2, but Zn2+ is not. Make the solution acidic using 0.2 M HO;
saturate with H2S. CdS will precipitate, ZnS will not.
(b) Cr(OH)3 is amphoteric but Fe(OH)3 is not. Add excess base; Fe(OH)3(s)
precipitates, but Cr3* forms the soluble complex Cr(OH)4 -.
(c) Mg2+ is a member of Gp. 4, but K+ is not. Add (NH4)2HPO4 to a basic solution;
Mgt* precipitates as MgNH4PO4, K+ remains in solution.
(d) Ag+ is a member of Gp. 1, but Mn2+ is not. Add 6 M Ha p recipitate Ag+ as
AgCl(s).
17.78 (a) Make the solution slightly acidic and saturate with H2S; CdS will
precipitate,
Na+ remains in solution.
(b) Make the solution acidic, saturate with H2S; CuS will precipitate, Mg2+ remains
in solution.
(c) Add HG, PbC12 precipitates. (It is best to carry out the reaction in an ice -water
bath to reduce the solubility of PbC12.)
(d) Add dilute HG; AgC1 precipitates, Hg2+ remains in solution.
17.79 (a) Because phosphoric acid is a weak acid, the concentration of free P043 -
(aq) in an
aqueous phosphate solution is low except in strongly basic media. In less basic
media, the solubility product of the phosphates of interest is not exceeded.
(b) K91, for those cations in Group 3 is much larger. Thus, to exceed Ku , a higher
[S21 is required. This is achieved by making the solution more basic.

532

(c) They should all redissolve in strongly acidic solution, e.g., in 12 M HCl (the
chlorides of all Group 3 metals are soluble).
17.80 The addition of (NH4)2HPO4 could result in precipitation of salts from metal
ions of
the other groups. The (NH4)2HPO4 will render the solution basic, so metal
hydroxides could form as well as insoluble phosphates. It is essential to separate
the metal ions of a group from other metal ions before carrying out the specific
tests for that group.

The pH of a buffer is determined by the identity of the conjugate acid/ conjugate


base pair (that is, the relevant Ka value) and the ratio of concentrations of the
conjugate acid and conjugate base. The absolute concentrations of the
components is not relevant. The pH values of the two buffers are equal because
they both contain HCOOH and HCOONa and the [HCOOH] / [HCOO -] ratio is the
same in both solutions.
(b) Buffer capacity is determined by the absolute amount of conjugate acid and
conjugate base available to absorb strong acid (F1*) or strong base (OH -) that is

(e) Adding 10 mL of 1.00 M HC1 to buffer B exceeded its capacity, while the pH of
buffer A was unaffected. This is quantitative confirmation that buffer A has a
significantly greater capacity than buffer B. In fact, 1.0 L of 1.0 M HC1 would be
required to exceed the capacity of buffer A. Buffer A, with 100 times more HCOOH

17.92 Assume that H3PO4 will react with NaOH in a stepwise fashion: (This is not

H3PO4(aq) + NaOH(aq) H2PO4-(aq) + Na+ (aq) + H20(1)

Thus, after all NaOH has reacted, the resulting 1.00 L solution is a buffer

The pH of a buffer system is centered around pKa for the conjugate acid
component. For a diprotic acid, two conjugate acid/conjugate base pairs are
possible.
H2X(aq) = H+ (aq) + HX- (aq); Kai = 2 x 10-2; pKai = 1.70
HX-(aq) = H+ (aq) + X 2-(aq); Ka2 = 5.0 x 10-7; pKa2 = 630
Clearly HX- / X2- is the more appropriate combination for preparing a buffer with
pH = 6.50. The [H+] in this buffer = 10-6.50 = 3.16 x 10-7 = 3.2 x 10-7 M. Using the
Ka2 expression to calculate the [X21 / [FIX -] ratio:

[H +][X2-] Ka2 [X2-] 5.0 x 10-7

K2 =a - = 1.58=1.6
[lX -] [HI] [HX-] 3.16 x 10-7
Since X2- and FIX- are present in the same solution, the ratio of concentrations is
also a ratio of moles.

In the 1.0 L of 1.0 M H2X, there is 1.0 mol of material containing X2- .

Thus, mol HX- + 1.58 (mol HX-) = 1.0 mol. 2.58 (mol HX-) = 1.0;
mol HX- = 1.0 / 2.58 = 0.39 mol HX-; mol X2- = 1.0 - 0.39 = 0.61 mol X2-.
Thus enough 1.0 M NaOH must be added to produce 0.39 mol HX - and 0.61 mol
X2-.
Considering the neutralization in a step-wise fashion (see discussion of titration of

Starting with 1.0 mol of H2X, 1.0 mol of NaOH is added to completely convert it to
1.0 mol of HX-. Of that 1.0 mol of HX-, 0.61 mol must be converted to 0.61 mol X2-.
The total moles of NaOH added is (1.00 + 0.61) = 1.61 mol NaOH.

17.95 (a) H+ (aq) + HCO3-(aq) H2 CO3 (aq)

Solutions to Exercises

H2 0(1) + CO2 (g)

A person breathing normally exhales CO2(g). Rapid breathing causes excess


CO2(g) to be removed from the blood. By LeChatelier's principle, this causes both
equilibria above to shift right, reducing [H+] in the blood and raising blood pH.
(b) Breathing in a paper bag traps the exhaled CO2; the gas in the bag contains
more
CO2 than ambient air. When a person inhales gas from the bag, a greater amount
(partial pressure) of CO2(g) in the lungs shifts the equilibria left, incr easing [H+]
and lowering blood pH.

17.96 (a) CdS: 8.0 x 10-28; CuS: 6 x 10-37 CdS has greater molar solubility.
(b) PbCO3: 7.4 x 10-14; BaCrO4: 2.1 x 10-10 BaCrO4 has greater molar solubility.
(c) Since the stoichiometry of the two complexes is not the same, values can't be
compared directly; molar solubilities must be calculated from Kap values.
Ni(OH)2: Kap = 6.0 x 10-16 = [Ni21[0H-] 2; [Ni2] = x, [OH-] = 2x
6.0 x 10-16= (x)(2x)2 = 4x3; x = 5.3 x 10-6M Ni2+
Note that [OH-] from the autoionization of water is less than 1% of [OH-] from
Ni(OH)2 and can be neglected.
NiCO3: Kap = 1.3 x 10-7= [Ni21[C0321; [Ni21 = [C032-] = x
1.3 x 10-7= x2; x = 3.6 x 10-4M NO+
NiCO3 has greater molar solubility than Ni(OH) 2, but the values are much closer
than expected from inspection of Kap values alone.
(d) Again, molar solubilities must be calculated for comparison.

Visualizing Concepts

18.1 Analyze. Given that one mole of an ideal gas at 1 atm and 298 K occupies
22.4 L, is the
volume of one mole of ideal gas in the middle of the stratosphere greater than,
equal to, or less than 22.4 L?
Plan. Consider the relationship between pressure, temperature, and volume of an
ideal gas. Use Figure 18.1 to estimate the pressure and temperature in the middle
of the stratosphere, and compare the two sets of temperature and pressure.
Solve. According to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, so V = nRT/P. Since n and R are
constant for this exercise, V is proportional to T/P.
(a) The stratosphere ranges from 10 to 50 km, so the middle is at approximately
30 km. At this altitude, T 230 K, P 40 torr (from Figure 18.1). Since we are
comparing T/P ratios, either atm or torr can be used as pressure units; we will use
torr.
At sea level: T/P = 298 K/760 torr = 0.39 At 30 km T/P = 230 K/40 torr = 5.75
The proportionality constant (T/P) is much greater at 3 0 km than sea level, so the
volume of 1 mol of an ideal gas is greater at this altitude. The decrease in
temperature at 30 km is more than offset by the substantial decrease in pressure.
(b) Volume is proportional to T/P, not simply T. The relative volumes of one mole of
an ideal gas at 50 km and 85 km depend on the temperature and pressure at the
two altitudes. From Figure 18.1,
50 km: T 270 K, P z 20 torr, T/P = 270 K/20 torr = 13.5
85 km: T 190 K, P < 0.01 torr, T/P = 190 K/0.01 torr = 19,000
Again, the slightly lower temperature at 85 km is more than offset by a much lower
pressure. One mole of an ideal gas will occupy a much larger volume at
85 km than 50 km.
(c) Gases behave most ideally at high temperature and low pressure. Pressure is
minimum and temperature is high in the thermosphere. The stratopause (the
boundary between the stratosphere and mesosphere) and the troposphere at low
altitude are other regions with temperature maxima and relatively low pressures.
18.2 Molecules in the upper atmosphere tend to have multiple bonds because they
have
sufficiently high bond dissociation enthalpies (Table 8.4) to survive the incoming
high energy radiation from the sun. According to Table 8.4, for the same two
bonded atoms,

550
18 Chemistry of the Environment Solutions to Exercises
multiple bonds have higher bond dissociation enthalpies than single bonds.
Molecules with single bonds are likely to undergo photodissociation in the presence
of the high energy, short wavelength solar radiation present in the upper
atmosphere.
18.3 (a) A= troposphere, 0-10 km; B= stratosphere, 12-50 kin; C= mesosphere, 50-
85 km
(b) Ozone is a pollutant in the troposphere and filters UV radiation in the
stratosphere.
(c) Infrared radiation from Earth is most strongly reflected back in the troposphere.
(d) Assuming the "boundary" between the stratosphere and mesosphere is at 50
km,
only region C in the diagram is involved in an aurora borealis.
(e) The concentration of water vapor is greatest near Earth's surface in region A
and
decreases with altitude. Water's single bonds are susceptible to
photodissociation in regions B and C, so it's concentration is likely to be very low
in these regions. The relative concentration of CO2, with strong double bonds,
increases in regions B and C, because it is less susceptible to photodissociation.
18.4 Analyze. Given granite, marble, bronze, and other solid materials, what
observations
and measurements indicate whether the material is appropriate for an outdoor
sculpture? If the material changes (erodes) over time, what chemical processes are
responsible?
Plan. An appropriate material resists chemical and physical changes when exposed
to environmental conditions. An inappropriate material undergoes chemical
reactions with substances in the troposphere, degrading the structural strength of
the material
and the sculpture. Solve.
(a) The appearance and mass of the material upon environmental exposure are
both
indicators of chemical and physical changes. If the appearance and mass of the
material are unchanged after a period of time, the material is well -suited for the
sculpture because it is inert to chemical and physical changes. Changes in the
color or texture of the material's surface indicate that a chemical reaction has
occurred, because a different substance with different properties has formed. A
decrease in mass indicates that some of the material has been lost, either by
chemical reaction or physical change. An increase in mass indicates corrosion. If
the mass of the material is unchanged, it is probably inert to chemical and physical
environmental changes and suitable for sculpture.
(b) The two main chemical processes that lead to erosion are reaction with acid
rain
and corrosion or air oxidation, which is encouraged by acid conditions (see S ection
20.8).
Acid rain is primarily H2S03 and/or H2SO4, which reacts directly with carbonate
minerals such as marble and limestone. Acidic conditions created by acid rain
encourage corrosion of metals such as iron, steel, and bronze. Corrosion produces
metal oxides which may or may not cling to the surface of the material. If the
oxides are washed away, the material will lose mass after corrosion. Physical
erosion due to the effects of wind and rain on soft materials such as sandstone
also causes mass to decrease.

18.6 Saltwater, freshwater and groundwater differ in salt content, location and
percentage of
Earth's total water.
Saltwater contains high concentrations of dissolved salts and solids and includes
the world ocean (97.2% of all water) and brackish or salty water (0.1% of all water)
in places such as the Great Salt Lake and the Chesapeake Bay. The world ocean
averages about
35 g of dissolved salts per kg of water, or 35, 000 ppm.
Freshwater (0.6% of all water on earth) refers to natural waters that have low
concentrations (less than 500 ppm) of dissolved salts and solids. Freshwater
indudes the waters of lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams.
Groundwater is freshwater that is under the soil. It resides in aquifers, porous rock
that holds water, and composes 20% of the world's freshwater.
18.7 CO2(g) dissolves in seawater to form H2CO3(aq). The basic pH of the ocean
encourages
ionization of H2CO3(aq) fo form HCO3-(aq) and C032-(aq). Under the correct
conditions, carbon is removed from the ocean as CaCO3(s) (sea shells, coral,
chalk cliffs). As carbon is removed, more CO2 (g) dissolves to maintain the balance
of complex and interacting add-base and precipitation equilibria.
18.8 Analyze/Plan. Explain how an ion-exchange column "softens" water. See the
Closer
Look box on "Water Softening" in Section 18.4.
Solve. The plastic beads in an ion-exchange column contain covalently bound
anionic groups such as R—COO- and R—S03-. These groups have Na+ cations
associated with them for charge balance. When "hard" water containing Ca2+ and
other divalent cations passes over the beads, the 2+ cations are attracted to the
anionic groups and Na+ is displaced. The higher charge on the divalent catio ns
leads to greater electrostatic attractions, which promote the cation exchange. The
"soft" water that comes out of the column contains two Na+ ions in place of each
divalent cation, mostly Ca2+ and Mg2+, that remains in the column associated with
the plastic beads.
18.9 The guiding principle of green chemistry is that "an ounce of prevention is
worth a
pound of cure." Processes should be designed to minimize or eliminate solvents
and waste, generate nontoxic waste, be energy efficient, employ renewable st arting
materials, and take advantage of catalysts that enable the use of safe and common
reagents.
18.10 Some of the missing CO2 is absorbed by "land plants" (vegetation other than
trees) and
incorporated into the soil. Soil is the largest land -based carbon reservoir. The
amount of carbon-storing capacity of soil is affected by erosion, soil fertility, and
other complex factors. For more details, search the internet for "carbon budget."

Earth's Atmosphere (section 18.1)

18.11 (a) The temperature profile of the atmosphere (Figure 18.1) is the basis of its
division
into regions. The center of each peak or trough in the temperature profile
corresponds to a new region.

552
18 Chemistry of the Environment Solutions to Exercises

(b) Troposphere, 0-12 km; stratosphere, 12-50 km; mesosphere, 50-85 km;
thermosphere, 85-110 km.
18.12 (a) Boundaries between regions of the atmosphere are at maxima and
minima (peaks
and valleys) in the atmospheric temperature profile. For example, in the
troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude, while in the stratosphere, it
increases with altitude. The temperature minimum is the tropopause boundary.
(b) From Figure 18.1, atmospheric pressure in the troposphere ranges from 760
torr
to 200 torr, while pressure in the st ratosphere ranges from 200 torr to 20 torr. Gas
density (g/L) is directly proportional to pressure. The much lower density of the
stratosphere means it has the smaller mass, despite having a larger volume than
the troposphere.
18.13 Analyze/Plan. Given 03 concentration in ppm, calculate partial pressure. Use
the
definition of ppm to get mol fraction 03. For gases mole fraction = pressure
