chem acid base quiz

A strong acid

- ionizes completely in solution
- produces hydronium ions in solution
- reacts with metals that are more active than hydrogen

Which of the following substances is a weak base?

NH3

Which of the following is not a strong acid?

CH3COOH

An Arrhenius acid is a chemical compound that

increases the concentration of H+ ions in a solution

All Br�nsted-Lowry acids

- are aqueous solutions
- can act as Arrhenius acids
- donate protons

Which of the following is a polyprotic acid?

H2SO4

What is the conjugate base of the hydronium ion, H3O+?

H2O

The conjugate acid of the chloride ion, Cl, is

HCl

A conjugate acid is an acid that forms when

a base gains a proton

In an acid-base reaction, the conjugate base of the weaker acid is the

stronger base

An amphoteric species is one that reacts at 25�C as a(n)

acid or base

A conjugate base is the species that

remains after an acid has given up a proton

In the following reaction, which substance is the conjugate base of HClO4?
HClO4(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + ClO(aq)

ClO4-

What is the concentration of hydronium ions in pure water?

- 1.0 3 1027M
- Kw
--------
[OH-]
- same as [OH-]

As the [H3O+] of a solution increases, the value of

- long [H3O+] increases
- -log [H3O+] deacreases
- the solution's pH decreases

The pH of a solution is defined as

- log [H3O+]

Which of the following is not a property of an acidic solution?

[HO2] geater than 1x10-7 M

A basic solution

has a lower concentration of hydronium ions than hydroxide ions

A solution that has a pH of 13 is a

string base

What is the pH of household ammonia in which the [H3O+] is 1.0 � 10-12 M?

12

What is the [OH] in a sample of lime juice with a pH of 2.0?

1.0x10-12

An acid-base indicator

- is either a weak acid or weak base
- has a different color at a different pH
- can be used to find the equivalence point

When performing the calculation for a titration experiment, you need to have the balanced equation for the neutralization reaction in order to determine

the chemically equivalency amount of acid and base

A titration always involves the

controlled addition of a standard solution

For any acid titrated with a base, the equivalence point occurs when the

acid and base are present in chemically equivalent amounts

What is monitored in an acid-base titration?

pH

During an acid-base titration, a rapid change in pH

occurs when the amount of H3O+ ions and OH- ions are nearly equal

The neutralization of any strong acid and strong base produces mostly

H2O molecules

Which of the symbols below denotes the acid ionization constant?

Ka

The acid ionization constant for weak acids

is much less than 1

A solution that can resist changes in pH is called a(n)

buffered solution

Hydrolysis is a reaction that occurs when water molecules

react with ions of a salt

Salts of weak acids and weak bases can produce

- acidic solutions
- basic solutions
- neutral solutions

An acid and the base that can combine to form the salt CaCl2 are

HCl and Ca(OH)2

What are the conjugate acid-base pairs for the reaction represented by the following equation?

B and BH+ ; H2O and OH-

Arrhenius acids and bases

acids: contain H+ ions (Hx)
bases: contain OH- ions (MOH)

Bronsted Lowery acids and bases

titrations:

use reaction of a known concentration of an acid or base to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base using stoichiometry
- stock solution (known concentration)
- unknown base or acid
- pH indicator
