    A2 CHEMISTRY - IONIC EQUILBRIUM


    1. Select appropriate conjugate acid/base pairs from the list of species below and place
    them in the correct place in the table.
    NO3- NH4+ H2O CH3COOH NH2- H3O+ NH3 OH - CH3COO -
    HNO3 H2NO3+

    acid

    conjugate base

    2. a) Write an expression to define the ionic product of water, KW.


    (1)

    b) The ionic product of water is 1.0 x 10-14 mol2 dm-6 at 25oC. This allows us to deduce
    that the pH of pure water at 25oC is 7. Calculate the concentration of hydrogen ions
    in water at 25oC.
    (1)

    c) The value of KW changes with temperature. At a higher temperature than 25oC the
    value of KW is 1.3 x 10-14 mol2 dm-6. Use this value of KW to find the hydrogen ion
    concentration and hence the pH of pure water at the higher temperature. Show an
    expression for pH in your answer.

    (3)

    d) By reference to the answers which you have found above explain whether the
    dissociation of water into its ions is an exothermic or an endothermic process. Refer
    to Le Chatelier’s principle to explain your answer.

    (3)

    e) Explain why water is not acidic at the higher temperature even though it has a pH
    which is below 7.

    3. Calculate the pH of the following solutions of strong acids and strong alkalis at 25oC.
    (KW = 1.0 x 10-14 mol2 dm-6 at 25oC)
    a) 2.4 mol dm-3 HCl
    (1)

    b) 1.2 mol dm-3 HCl


    (1)

    c) 0.6 mol dm-3 HCl


    (1)

    d) 0.2 mol dm-3 NaOH

    (2)

    e) 0.05 mol dm-3 NaOH

    (2)

    4. Calculate the pH of the solution which results from mixing the following acids and
    alkalis by first calculating the concentration of alkali in the resulting solution.
    a) 25cm3 of 0.05 mol dm-3 HCl and 30 cm3 of 0.1 mol dm-3 NaOH.

    (5)

    b) 50cm3 of 0.2 mol dm-3 HCl and 110cm3 of 0.22 mol dm-3 NaOH.
