Write the balanced reaction of hypobromous acid, HOBr, with water to form hydronium ion and the conjugate base of HOBr. Identify each species as either an acid or a base.
Classify each of the following substances into the appropriate category: 1 Lewis acid; 2 Lewis base; 3 substance that can act as either a Lewis acid or Lewis base; 4 substance that is neither a Lewis acid nor a Lewis base. a CCl4,b F, c Cu2+, d Fe3+, e O2
Complete a net ionic equation for each proton-transfer reaction using curved arrows to show the flow of electron pairs in each reaction. In addition, write Lewis structures for all starting materials and products. Label the original acid and its conjugate base; label the original base and its conjugate acid.

(b) All collisions between acids and bases result in proton transfer. (c) During an acid-base reaction the lone pair on the base fills the A-H antibonding sigma orbital.
Use Table 13-2 to order the following from the strongest to the weakest acid. HClO2,H2O,NH4+,HClO4
Two strategies are followed when solving for the pH of an acid in water. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a strong acid in water? What major assumptions are made when solving strong acid problems? The best way to recognize strong acids is to memorize them. List the six common strong acids (the two not listed in the text are HBr and HI). Most acids, by contrast, are weak acids. When solving for the pH of a weak acid in water, you must have the Ka value. List two places in this text that provide Ka values for weak acids. You can utilize these tables to help you recognize weak acids. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a weak acid in water? What assumptions are generally made? What is the 5% rule? If the 5% rule fails, how do you calculate the pH of a weak acid in water?
