    Solutions of Electrolytes Review Questions

    1. Your phone battery discharges as it powers the phone and recharges when plugged into an
    electrical outlet. Based on the process occurring during discharge and charge, classify each
    phase in terms of electrochemical processes (voltaic or electrolytic). Support your answer
    with explanations.

    2. A solution of 0.01 M HCl has a measured pH of 2.02, while an ideal 0.01 M solution should
    theoretically have a pH of 2.00.
    a. Calculate the activity coefficient of H⁺ in this solution.
    b. Explain why the measured pH is slightly higher than the theoretical pH. What does this
    imply about the role of activity coefficients in real solutions?

    3. Calculate the ionic strengths of solutions that contain (a) 0.30 M CaCl2, 0.30 M NaOH and
    0.10 M Na3PO4

    4. What is the ionic strength of an 0.0078 M aqueous solution of acetic acid? At this
    concentration acetic acid is 4.8% dissociated.

    5. Predict the effect of ionic strength on the following equilibrium:


    Co2+ (aq) + 4NH3 (aq) ⇌ Co(NH3 )2+ 4 (aq)

    6. BaSO4 is a sparingly soluble salt in water.


    a. Show that the solubility product of BaSO4 is given by
    𝐾𝑠𝑝 = [𝐵𝑎2+ ][𝑆𝑂4 2− ]𝛾±2
    b. Calculate the mean activity coefficient of the Ba2+ and SO42− ions in a solution of 0.05 M
    in KNO3 and 0.05 M in KCl, assuming that the Debye-Huckel Limiting Law does apply.
    c. If the solubility product of BaSO4 is 9.2  10−11 mol2 dm−6, calculate the solubility of
    BaSO4 in the solution in (b) above.

    7. The solubility of PbSO₄ in pure water is 1.6 × 10−4 mol/L. When 0.1 M Na₂SO₄ is added, the
    solubility decreases to 1.2 × 10−4 mol/L.
    a. Explain why the solubility of PbSO₄ decreases in the presence of Na₂SO₄.
    b. What does this observation tell you about the common ion effect and its relationship
    with ionic strength?
