2. What is the pH of a solution of 0.050 M HClO4?Easy!! HClO4 is a strong acid, therefore [HClO4] = [H3O+] dissociated!
[H3O+] = 0.050 MpH = -log(0.050)pH = 1.30

Which of the following is the strongest acid?
HClO2, HBrO2, HIO2
Non-binary acids must consider resonance or inductive effect
not resonance 1) there are no possible resonance structures (already saturated) 2) all Lewis dot structures are equivalentinductive effect ClO2
- has Cl (which is more electronegative than Br or I). The Cl withdraws the electrons from the O atoms, stabilizing the anion making the HClO2 more acidic

Which of the following is the strongest acid?
H3N, H2O, HFBinary acids must consider electronegativity or size of the anionN O F moving left to right across periodic chart
Therefore HF is strongest acid because its anion is the most electronegative atom in the group above. And the more electronegative the anion, the greater the ability to stabilize the anion, and therefore the stronger the acid

:
There are 3 groups on the N, leaving the lone pair available. Therefore this amine is basic.
