Not all CO2 molecules remain dissolved in water -- a fraction of them react with water to form carbonic acid, or H2CO3. This reaction is also very slow. Equilibrium is established between CO2, H2O and H2CO3. Carbonic acid is weak and can dissociate to bicarbonate or carbonate; hydrogen i...
HCl, a strong acid, completely dissociates into two ions in aqueous solution. What is the osmolarity of a 1 mM HCl solution? Identify the hydrogen ion donor of the bicarbonate buffer system. a. bicarbonate (HCO3) b. carbon dioxide (Co2) c. carbonic acid (H2CO3) d. hydrochloric a...
Why do acids and bases form ions when they dissociate in the water? The Ka for hypochlorous acid (HClO) is 3.0 x 10-8. What is (OH-) in a 0.45 M solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO)? 1. Why H2SO4 is strong acid than H2SO3? 2. Why HClO2 is s...
