Osukuuni Practice Questions CHEM 3811
1. What is Kb for the equilibrium CN- + H2O ↔ HCN + OH-
(Ka of HCN = 2.1 x 10-9)
Kb = Kw/Ka = 1.0 x 10-14/2.1 x 10-9 = 4.8 x 10-6
2. Calculate the hydronium ion concentration in an aqueous 0.120 M nitrous acid
solution. The principal equilibrium is HNO2 + H2O ↔ H3O+ + NO2-
(Ka = 5.1 x 10-4).
Ka = x2/F
Ka = 5.1 x 10-4 and F = 0.120 M, solve for x = 7.8 x 10-3 M
Percent dissociation = x/F = 6.5%
Percent dissociation is greater than 5% so approximation is not appropriate
Ka = x2/(F-x), solve quadratic equation to get x = [H3O+] = 7.6 x 10-3 M
3. Write the base hydrolysis reaction and calculate the Kb of hypochlorite (OCl-), given
that Ka for hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is 3.0 x 10-8.
OCl- + H2O ↔ HOCl + OH-
Kb = Kw/Ka = 1.0 x 10-14/3.0 x 10-8 = 3.3 x 10-7
4. Calculate the hydronium ion concentration in a solution that is 2.0 x 10-4 M in aniline
hydrochloride, C6H5NH3Cl (Kb = 3.94 x 10-10).
Dissociation of the salt in aqueous solution is complete.
C6H5NH3Cl → C6H5NH3+ + Cl-
C6H5NH3+ + H2O ↔ C6H5NH2 + H3O+ (Ka)
C6H5NH2 + H2O ↔ C6H5NH3+ + OH- (Kb)
Ka = Kw/Kb = 1.00 x 10-14/3.94 x 10-10 = 2.54 x 10-5
Ka = x2/F, solve for x = [H3O+] = 7.1 x 10-5 M
Percent dissociation = x/F = 36%
Percent dissociation is far greater than 5% so approximation is not appropriate
Ka = x2/(F-x), solve quadratic equation to get x = [H3O+] = 5.7 x 10-5 M
5. Calculate the hydronium ion concentration in a 0.075 M NH3 solution. The
predominant equilibrium is NH3 + H2O ↔ NH4+ + OH-
Kb = x2/F, solve for x = [OH-] = 1.2 x 10-3 M
Percent association = x/F = 1.6%, good approximation
[H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14/1.2 x 10-3 = 8.3 x 10-12 M
