Question

Can someone explain this gen chem 2 question to be with acids and bases?

Order ti h emical species by increasing pH of an 0.1 M aqueous solution of each. That is, imagine making an 0.1 M solution of each species. Select 1 next to the species that makes the solution with the lowest pH. Select 2 next to the species that makes the solution with the next higher pH, and so on. Notice that some of the rankings have been filled in for you already. Also notice that water is on the list. For that particular case, just compare the pH of pure water to the pH of the other solutions. Note for advanced students: for all charged species, you may assume the necessary counterions act as neither acids nor bases. species relative pH of 0.1 Maqueous solution x 5 ? H20 (Choose one) s0,2- (Choose one) 8 (highest) (Choose one) H2PO4 H2PO4 (Choose one) HO HSO4

Answer 1

→ lowest pH will be of Given 4305 at the its conjugate bese just after water at the hot -o 0 to should be ast it means 7 o 8 t th pon is ginen at ③ tolich ta from ho then its comings te and must be at 384 to Be for 5 positions all acids it means position t he & and in HF So HF - Ô - Hf's conyugate base F - CS Scannedmxiest be at 8t poshin CamScanner

ooo tat mind cs Scanned with CamScanner
