AP Chemistry
8.6 Molecular Structure of Acids and Bases
8.4 Acid-Base Reactions and Buffers
8.3 Weak Acid and Base Equilibria
A student prepares three separate \(0.10 \text{ M}\) aqueous solutions of sodium salts containing the conjugate bases of three unknown monoprotic weak acids: \(\text{HX}\), \(\text{HY}\), and \(\text{HZ}\). The student measures the \(\text{pH}\) of each solution at \(25^\circ\text{C}\) and records the data in the table below.
Based on the data, which of the following correctly ranks the parent weak acids in order of decreasing acid strength?
| Solution | Solute concentration (M) | Measured pH |
|---|---|---|
| \(\text{NaX(aq)}\) | \(0.10\) | \(8.20\) |
| \(\text{NaY(aq)}\) | \(0.10\) | \(9.60\) |
| \(\text{NaZ(aq)}\) | \(0.10\) | \(8.90\) |
Based on the data, which of the following correctly ranks the parent weak acids in order of decreasing acid strength?
