Short Answer Questions
1) Give the name of the compound that is in antifreeze and is toxic to pets.
Answer: ethylene glycol
2) Define a buffer.
Answer: Buffers contain significant amounts of both a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base
and its conjugate acid, enabling the buffer to neutralize added acid or added base.
37
3) Sketch the titration curve for a strong acid titrated with a strong base. Make sure to indicate the
equivalence point (and whether it is acidic, basic or neutral) and the buffer region.
Answer: See figure in middle of page 732.
4) Describe the information necessary (and why) to chose a good indicator for a weak acid/strong base
titration.
Answer: In order to chose an appropriate indicator, you must know what the pH should be at the
equivalence point of your titration. For a weak acid/strong base, the pH would be basic. The pK a of the
indicator chosen should be very close to the pH of the titration's equivalence point.
5) Sketch the titration curve for a monoprotic weak acid titrated with a strong base. Make sure to
indicate the equivalence point (and whether it is acidic, basic or neutral) and the buffer region.
Answer: See figure in middle of page 621.
6) Sketch the titration curve for a diprotic acid. Make sure to label the equivalence point(s) and the
relative amounts of base that were added to reach them.
Answer: See Figure 16.9 in text.
7) Identify the compound that is in stalactites and stalagmites.

Answer: calcium carbonate
8) Consider the K sp values for two compounds: MZ, K sp = 1.5 × 10-20 and MZ2, K sp = 1.5 × 10-20.
Why don't these compounds have the same molar solubility?
Answer: These two compounds have the same solubility product constant, but that does not mean they
have the same molar solubilities. Since the first compound contains 2 ions and the second compound
contains 3 ions, their solubility product expressions differ and therefore their molar solubilities must
differ. Compound MZ2 will have a higher molar solubility.
9) Explain the common ion effect with respect to molar solubility.

Answer: The common ion effect occurs when a solubility equilibrium is shifted due to a second
compound that contains an ion common with the first. For example, the molar solubility of MA (MA ⇌
M+ + A- ) would be higher in pure water than if MA were dissolved in an aqueous solution that already
contained another compound with A- .
