Strong bases consist of alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, although the latter are far less soluble. Which statement is NOT true for strong bases?

Calculate the pH of a 0.002 50 M hemimellitic acid solution. pK1 = 2.86, pK2 = 4.30, and pK3 = 6.28 for hemimellitic acid.

Calculate the pH of 0.005 0 M phenylacetic acid. The Ka for phenylacetic acid is 4.90 × 10–11. Hint: Solve the weak-acid equilibrium problem, ignoring the change in the formal concentration of phenylacetic acid.

___________ expresses the margin of uncertainty associated with a measurement.

Calculate the pH of a 0.033 M Na2SO3 solution. pK1 = 1.66 and pK2 = 6.85 for sulfurous acid.

Calculate the percent dissociation for a 0.010 0 M HCN solution. Ka = 6.2 × 10−10 for HCN. (Report at least 3 decimal places) Hint: Solve the weak-acid equilibrium for , ignoring the change in the formal concentration of HCN. Divide the concentration of the cyanide ion by the formal concentration and multiply by 100.
