(a) What is the pH of 50 mL of a 0.2M glycolic acid aqueous solution after adding 5 mL of 0.25 M KOH? The pKa of glycolic acis is 3.83 at 25 Celsius.

(b) Classify each of the following compounds as either "acidic", "basic", or "amphoteric" (able to act as either an acid or a base).

i)K2O =

ii) Al(OH)3 =

iii) Si(OH)4 =

iv) CaO =

4 answers

K2O - basic
Al(OH)3 - amphoteric
