    Q14.3.17

    Rank the compounds in each of the following groups in order of increasing acidity or basicity, as indicated, and explain the order you assign.

    1. acidity: HCl, HBr, HI

    HCl<HBr<HI

    Strength of acid is inversely related to the amount of energy required to break the bond. Since Cl is the most electronegative, then Br, then I, it follows that HCl has the strongest bond and therefore is the weakest acid.

    b. basicity: H2O, OH, H, Cl

    H2O<Cl<H<OH

    Water is neutral, chloride ion is a weak base. Both hydride and hydroxide are strong bases, but OH- is always the strongest base, assuming we are in water.

    c. basicity: Mg(OH)2, Si(OH)4, ClO3(OH) (Hint: Formula could also be written as HClO4).

    ClO3(OH) <Si(OH)4 <Mg(OH)2

    Magnesium is a metal and metal hydroxides are strong bases. ClO3(OH) is the same as HClO4 , which is a weak acid.

    d. acidity: HF, H2O, NH3, CH4

    CH4 <NH3 <H2O <HF

    Methane is quite stable and thus is unlikely to give up an oxygen. Ammonia is a weak base usually. Sometimes, however, it will donate an H+ (act as an acid.) Water is more acidic than ammonia. HF is obviously an acid.

    Q15.1.X

    Hydrogen sulfide is bubbled into a solution that is 0.10 M in both Pb2+ and Fe2+ and 0.30 M in HCl. After the solution has come to equilibrium it is saturated with H2S ([H2S] = 0.10 M). What concentrations of Pb2+ and Fe2+ remain in the solution? For a saturated solution of H2S we can use the equilibrium:

    \(\ce{H2S}(aq)+\ce{2H2O}(l)⇌\ce{2H3O+}(aq)+\ce{S^2-}(aq) \hspace{20px} K=1.0×10^{−26}\)

    (Hint: The \(\ce{[H3O+]}\) changes as metal sulfides precipitate.)

    Q16.4.14

    Calculate the equilibrium constant at the temperature given.

    I used the Van't Hoff equation for all of these.

    1. (a) \(\ce{I2}(s)+\ce{Cl2}(g)⟶\ce{2ICl}(g) \hspace{20px} \mathrm{(T=100\:°C)}\)
      K=0.02765
    2. \(\ce{H2}(g)+\ce{I2}(s)⟶\ce{2HI}(g) \hspace{20px} \mathrm{(T=0.0\:°C)}\)
      K=6486.4
    3. \(\ce{CS2}(g)+\ce{3Cl2}(g)⟶\ce{CCl4}(g)+\ce{S2Cl2}(g) \hspace{20px} \mathrm{(T=125\:°C)}\)
      Spent half an hour looking for the necessary information to do this problem and couldn't find it. :(
    4. \(\ce{2SO2}(g)+\ce{O2}(g)⟶\ce{2SO3}(g) \hspace{20px} \mathrm{(T=675\:°C)}\)
      K=11.73
    5. \(\ce{CS2}(g)⟶\ce{CS2}(l) \hspace{20px} \mathrm{(T=90\:°C)}\)
      K=0.342

    Q5.4.28

    The following reactions can be used to prepare samples of metals. Determine the enthalpy change under standard state conditions for each.

    1. \(\ce{2Ag2O}(s)⟶\ce{4Ag}(s)+\ce{O2}(g)\)
      62.2 kJ/mol O2
    2. \(\ce{SnO}(s)+\ce{CO}(g)⟶\ce{Sn}(s)+\ce{CO2}(g)\)
      3.2 kJ/mol SnO
    3. \(\ce{Cr2O3}(s)+\ce{3H2}(g)⟶\ce{2Cr}(s)+\ce{3H2O}(l)\)
      271 kJ/mol Cr2O3
    4. \(\ce{2Al}(s)+\ce{Fe2O3}(s)⟶\ce{Al2O3}(s)+\ce{2Fe}(s)\)
      -847.6 kJ/mol Fe2O3

    Q13.4.5

    At 1 atm and 25 °C, NO2 with an initial concentration of 1.00 M is 3.3 × 10−3% decomposed into NO and O2. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

    \[\ce{2NO2}(g)⇌\ce{2NO}(g)+\ce{O2}(g)\]
