I don't understand why Chris K's answer is wrong. CH3COOH can hardly take another proton to become CH3CO2H2. As you said, it is acidic.
Now, how am I supposed to know CH3COOH is a better nucleophile than CH3OH? Is it by rough memorization? Or is it a debated subject?

These guys did it similarly to me. Are they wrong?
Yes, I looked at it from the point of view of the values of the Ka/b values. Does it seem to make sense? Sorry about my handwriting. This is actually my third "clean" version I made just for the forum.
Hello Forum,
Another problem again... Please bare with me.
You are titrating an H3PO4 solution of acid. You titrate 20ml of that solution. You have used 15 ml of 0.500 M NaOH at the equivalence point. What is the molar concentration of the acid? Would bromophenol blue (pH 3.0-4.6) be...
Hello Forum!
1g of H2PO4- and 1 g of HPO42- are put together into 100 ml of H2O. What is the pH of the buffer created.
Ka1= 7.5x10^-3
Ka2=6.2x10^-8
Ka3=4.8x10^-13

Okay. I uploaded my solutions. (Please disregard the part 1.184 g/mol and the 34% on my answers...
Hello Forum!
I was wondering:
In the rate law expressions, I could never find an example with a solid or a liquid in the reactants in my textbook (Chemistry by Zumdahl). I searched Chemistry (Raymond Chang) and Principles of Molecular Chemistry, without any success.
What happens to...
Please look at attached picture.
So, I tried solving it. Apparently, the answer is C. But, I think there is missing information (ie the volume of the initial solution). Care to back me up on this?
