Matthew Wilson Sebastian Pantovich Gen Chem II 9th March 2015 Acids, Bases and pH Individual Portion 22) Acetic acid is a weak acid with a low conductivity, it has a pH of 3.8 and has a conjugate base of an acetate ion and is negatively polar. 23) A 2M solution of acetic acid is less hazardous than 2M of hydrochloric acid because it does not completely dissociate in water leaving HCl with a higher concentration of H+ ion. 24) CuSO4 + H2O  Cu(OH)2 + H2SO4 Sulfuric acid leads to acid erosion. 25) A buffer must be composed of a weak acid or base and one of it’s salts. A buffer works by neutralizing the solution leaving behind more water in the solution, pushing it’s pH toward neutral....
