Explain why metal oxides react with acids to form salt and water, drawing a parallel to a typical acid-base neutralization reaction.

<p>Metal oxides act as bases because the oxide ion ($O^{2-}$) can accept protons ($H^+$) from acids, forming water. This is similar to how hydroxide ions ($OH^−$) in traditional bases react with acids, leading to salt and water formation.</p> Signup and view all the answers

If a solution of copper(II) oxide in hydrochloric acid appears more green than blue, what might this indicate about the reaction?

<p>A more green than blue color suggests the presence of excess chloride ions ($Cl^−$) in the solution. High chloride concentrations can alter the complex formed with copper(II) ions, shifting the solution's color towards green.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe a scenario where the reaction between an acid and a base might not result in a solution with a pH of 7. Explain the chemical reasons behind this.

<p>When a strong acid reacts with a weak base (or vice versa), the resulting salt can undergo hydrolysis, affecting the pH. For example, the salt formed from a strong acid and weak base will hydrolyze to produce excess $H^+$ ions, resulting in a pH less than 7.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How does the common ion effect influence the solubility of calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$) in a solution already containing calcium ions, such as hard water?

<p>The common ion effect decreases the solubility of $CaCO_3$. If a solution already contains $Ca^{2+}$ ions, the addition of $CaCO_3$ will shift the equilibrium towards precipitation of $CaCO_3$ to maintain the solubility product constant ($K_{sp}$), thus reducing its solubility.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain why the reaction between limestone ($CaCO_3$) and acid rain (containing sulfuric acid, $H_2SO_4$) can lead to the deterioration of historical monuments.

<p>Sulfuric acid reacts with limestone to form calcium sulfate ($CaSO_4$), carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), and water ($H_2O$). Calcium sulfate is more soluble than calcium carbonate, and its formation causes the gradual erosion and disintegration of the limestone structure.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Propose a method to differentiate between a solution of sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$) and sodium bicarbonate ($NaHCO_3$) using a simple chemical test. Explain the expected observations.

<p>Heating the solutions and testing for carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) evolution can differentiate them. $NaHCO_3$ decomposes upon heating to produce $CO_2$, while $Na_2CO_3$ does not under similar conditions. Bubbling evolved gas through limewater will turn it milky if $CO_2$ is present, indicating the original solution was $NaHCO_3$.</p> Signup and view all the answers

A geochemist analyzes a sample of ancient marble exposed to acidic rainwater for centuries. Propose a detailed reaction mechanism, including all relevant intermediate species, describing the dissolution of $CaCO_3$ in the presence of both $H^+$ and dissolved atmospheric $SO_2$.

<p>Initial protonation of $CaCO_3$ forms $CaHCO_3^+$. $SO_2$ dissolves in water to form $H_2SO_3$, which further dissociates to $HSO_3^-$ and $SO_3^{2-}$. These sulfite species react with $Ca^{2+}$ and $HCO_3^-$ to form soluble calcium sulfite complexes, accelerating the dissolution process.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The protocol involves reacting $MgCO_3$ with $CO_2$ saturated water in a closed system, measuring the concentration of $Mg^{2+}$ and $HCO_3^-$ using ICP-OES and ion chromatography respectively, then calculating $K_{eq}$ using activity coefficients to correct for ionic strength effects, with error analysis considering instrument calibration and solution preparation.</p> Signup and view all the answers

In the context of acid-base titrations using phenolphthalein as an indicator, discuss the theoretical limitations of using this indicator for titrating weak acids with strong bases. What are the key factors that influence the sharpness of the endpoint, and how can these limitations be mitigated?

<p>The pH range of phenolphthalein (8.3-10.0) may not align with the equivalence point of weak acid-strong base titrations, leading to overestimation of the endpoint. Factors include acid strength, concentration, indicator concentration and temperature. Using a different indicator with a pH range closer to the equivalence point or employing derivative analysis of the titration curve are potential mitigations.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Aqueous solutions of $Na_2CO_3$ are known to be alkaline. Elaborate on the hydrolysis reactions responsible for this alkalinity, including the relevant equilibrium expressions and the factors affecting the pH of the solution.

<p>If the acid is a strong reducing agent, it may reduce $Cu^{2+}$ in $CuO$ to $Cu^+ $ or even $Cu$, leading to the formation of species like $CuCl$ or metallic copper alongside $CuCl_2$, water, and possibly chlorine gas depending on the specific conditions.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe, with chemical equations, the process by which acid rain ($H_2SO_4$) corrodes a bronze statue (composed primarily of copper, tin, and zinc). Detail the role of each metal in the corrosion process and the chemical species that are formed.

<p>$H_2SO_4$ protonates the metal oxides and hydroxides on the bronze surface. Copper forms $Cu^{2+}$ ions, tin forms $Sn^{4+}$ ions, and zinc forms $Zn^{2+}$ ions. These metal ions dissolve, leading to pitting and structural weakening.

A chemist investigates the reaction between a weak base ($NH_3$) and a strong acid ($HCl$) using conductometric titration. Sketch the expected conductometric titration curve and explain the changes in conductivity at different stages of the titration.

<p>Initially, conductivity decreases due to the replacement of highly mobile $OH^-$ ions by less mobile $Cl^-$ ions. At the equivalence point, conductivity reaches a minimum. Beyond the equivalence point, conductivity increases linearly due to the excess of highly mobile $H^+$ ions from the strong acid.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the chemical principles behind using a mixture of $Na_2CO_3$ and $NaHCO_3$ as a buffer solution. Include the relevant equilibrium reactions and the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, explicitly showing how this buffer system resists changes in pH.

<p>The buffer system involves the equilibrium $CO_3^{2-} + H^+ \rightleftharpoons HCO_3^-$, governed by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: $pH = pK_a + log([CO_3^{2-}]/[HCO_3^-])$. Addition of acid shifts the equilibrium to the right, consuming $CO_3^{2-}$, while addition of base shifts it to the left, generating $CO_3^{2-}$, thus resisting pH changes.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Consider the scenario where $CO_2$ is bubbled through a solution containing both $Ca(OH)_2$ and $Ba(OH)2$. Predict the order in which $CaCO_3$ and $BaCO_3$ will precipitate, and explain this phenomenon based on the solubility product constants ($K{sp}$) of the two carbonates.

<p>$BaCO_3$ will precipitate first because it has a lower $K_{sp}$ than $CaCO_3$. As $CO_2$ is added, carbonate concentration increases. $BaCO_3$ will precipitate when $[Ba^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}] &gt; K_{sp}(BaCO_3)$, and only after $Ba^{2+}$ is largely depleted will $CaCO_3$ begin to precipitate.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Reaction of Acids and Bases

  • Acids and bases react to form salts and water.
  • This reaction is called neutralisation.
  • The effect of a base is nullified by adding acid, and vice versa.
  • Example reaction: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l).
  • Phenolphthalein indicator changes colour in presence of acid/base. Pink colour reappears on addition of base to a mixture of base and acid.
  • Adding a drop of acid to a base solution causes phenolphthalein to change colour.
  • Reactions that are neutralization, including the reaction between an acid and a base, involves the formation of a salt and water.
  • Reaction between dilute NaOH and dilute HCl solutions shows a colour change with phenolphthalein.
  • Take 2 mL of dilute NaOH and phenolphthalein solution.
  • Add dilute HCl dropwise to the above solution.
  • Observe the colour change after each addition.
  • Add NaOH to the mixture again to see if the pink colour reappears.

Reaction of Metal Carbonates and Hydrogencarbonates with Acids

  • Metal carbonates and hydrogencarbonates react with acids to produce a salt, carbon dioxide, and water.
  • Example: CaCO₃(s) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) → Ca(HCO₃)₂(aq)
  • This reaction is useful for producing carbon dioxide gas.
  • Limestone, chalk, and marble are forms of calcium carbonate.
  • Carbon dioxide is soluble in water.
  • The reaction can be summarised: Metal carbonate/Metal hydrogencarbonate + Acid → Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water

Reaction of Metal Oxides with Acids

  • Metal oxides react with acids to form a salt and water.
  • General equation: Metal oxide + Acid → Salt + Water.
  • Example: A copper oxide reacts with acid producing a blue-green solution as the copper(II) chloride is formed.
  • This reaction involves a change in the colour of the solution (blue-green solution when copper oxide is reacting with an acid).
  • Copper oxide dissolves in an acid to produce a blue-green solution (copper(II) chloride) showing a color change.
  • Take a small amount of copper oxide in a beaker and add dilute hydrochloric acid.
