Question
Using Table 11.3, identify the stronger base in each of the following pairs: (11.3)
a. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \text { or } \mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)
b. \(\mathrm{OH}^{-} \text {or } \mathrm{NH}_{3}\)
c. \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-} \text { or } \mathrm{NO}_{2}^{-}\)
d. \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}{ }^{2-} \text { or } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
Solution
The first step in solving 11 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Using Table 11.3, identify the stronger base in each of the following pairs: (11.3)a. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \text { or } \mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)b. \(\mathrm{OH}^{-} \text {or } \mathrm{NH}_{3}\)c. \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-} \text { or } \mathrm{NO}_{2}^{-}\)d. \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}{ }^{2-} \text { or } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
From the textbook chapter Acids and Bases you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
