Get started for free\(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}\) is insoluble in water. It dissolves in concentrated NaOH solution. Write a balanced ionic equation for this reaction. What type of reaction is this?
The atmospheric sulfur dioxide \(\left(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\right)\) concentration over a certain region is 0.12 ppm by volume. Calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of the rainwater due to this pollutant. Assume that the dissolution of \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) does not affect its pressure. $$ \left(K_{\mathrm{a}} \text { for } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{3}=1.3 \times 10^{-2} .\right) $$
Compare the strengths of the following pairs of acids: (a) \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SeO}_{4}\) (b) \(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{AsO}_{4}\)
A typical reaction between an antacid and the hydrochloric acid in gastric juice is \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{HCl}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{NaCl}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)\). Calculate the volume (in liters) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) generated from \(0.350 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\) and excess gastric juice at \(1.00 \mathrm{~atm}\) and \(37.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
List four factors that affect the strength of an acid.
