which of these acids are diprotic
a diprotic acid has 2 H in the acid compound
H2CO3 = carbonic acid has 2moles H+ per 1 mole CO3-
Which of these is triprotic
a triprotic acid has 3 H in the acid compound
H3PO4 has 3 H+ per PO4-3
Which of these involves an acid with a covalent base
it would be H2SO4 + 2H20 >>>2H30+ + SO4-2
water is a covalent compound and it acts as a base by accepting the H+ from H2SO4
Its conjugate acid is the Hydronium ion H3O+
Titration problem
H2SO4 + 2NaOH >>> 2H2O + Na2SO4
moles NaOH 6mol/L x 0.0068L = 0.04 moles
using the molar ratio of NaOH to HsSO4
0.04 mol NaOH x 1mol H2SO4/2mol NaOH = 0.02 mol H2SO4
Concentration of H2SO4 = 0.02 mol/.6L = 0.034M
Stoichiometry
2HCl + Mg(OH)2 >>>>> 2H20 + MgCl2
mol HCl 4.8.mol/L x 0.045L = 0.216 mol
using molar ratios
0.216 mol HCl x 1mol MgCl2/2mol HCl = 0.108 mol MgCl2
grams MgCl2 = 0.106 mol MgCl2 x 95.1 grams/ 1 mol MgCl2 = 10.27.grams
