  • 2. 

    Which type of substance tastes sour?

    • Acids

    • Bases

    • Salt solutions

    Correct Answer
    A. Acids
    Explanation
    Acids taste sour. Ex: lemons are acidic.
    Bases taste bitter. NOTE: NEVER taste substances in labs!

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    From the choices below, which is the most acidic?

    • PH 7.2

    • PH 7.7

    • PH 5.0

    • PH 5.5

    • PH 4.9

    Correct Answer
    A. pH 4.9
    Explanation
    Acids have a pH under 7. The lower the number the more acidic the substance.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    How do you name NaOH?

    • Sodium acid

    • Nitrogen acid

    • Sodium hydroxide

    • Nitrogen hydroxide

    Correct Answer
    A. Sodium hydroxide
    Explanation
    bases are "hydroxides". Strong bases (like NaOH) ionize completely and will conduct electricity. Group 1 and 2 elements (except Beryllium) form strong bases.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following substances does NOT conduct electricity?

    • Strong Acids

    • Weak acids

    • Sugar solution

    • Strong Bases

    • Weak bases

    Correct Answer
    A. Sugar solution
    Explanation
    Acids and bases ionize in water and will conduct electricity. Strong acids and bases conduct electricity better than weak.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    How do you name HNO3?

    • Hydronitric acid

    • Nitric acid

    • Nitrous acid

    Correct Answer
    A. Nitric acid
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Nitric acid because HNO3 is the chemical formula for nitric acid. The prefix "nitro-" indicates the presence of the nitrate ion (NO3-) in the compound, and the suffix "-ic" indicates that the compound is an acid. Therefore, HNO3 is named as nitric acid.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    How much more acidic is pH 2 than pH3?

    • 1 number change in pH indicates a factor of 1x change in strength.

    • 1 number change in pH indicates a factor of 10x change in strength.

    • 1 number change in pH indicates a factor of 100.

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 number change in pH indicates a factor of 10x change in strength.
    Explanation
    The strength changes by a factor of 10. I.e. pH 2 is 10 times as strong as pH 3.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What pH are bases?

    • PH 7 or above

    • PH 7

    • Over pH 7

    • Under pH 7

    • PH 7 or under

    Correct Answer
    A. Over pH 7
    Explanation
    Acids have pH below 7; Bases have pH above 7. Neutral substances will have a pH of 7(ex: pure water. It have the same number of OH- and H+ ions).

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    How do you name H3PO4?

    • Hydrophosphoric acid

    • Phosphoric acid

    • Phosphorous acid

    • Hydrophosphorous acid

    Correct Answer
    A. Phosphoric acid
    Explanation
    Ternary acids (acids with 3 elements - with OXYGEN in it) are named: First name of other element + acid)

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following is a Arrhenius base?

    • Ionizes to yield H3O+

    • Ionizes to yield H+

    • Ionizes to yield OH-

    • Ionizes to yield an equal number of H30+ and OH-

    Correct Answer
    A. Ionizes to yield OH-
    Explanation
    Arrhenius uses the most basic definition of acids and bases: Acids H+ (H3O+) and bases OH-.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What is a hydronium ion?

    • OH - It is the "basic" ion

    • OH- It is the "acidic" ion

    • H3O +. It is the "basic ion.

    • H3O+. It is the "acidic" ion

    Correct Answer
    A. H3O+. It is the "acidic" ion
    Explanation
    The hydronium ion can also be written as H+.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What is an example of an amphoteric substance?

    • HCl

    • NaCl

    • H2O

    • NaOH

    Correct Answer
    A. H2O
    Explanation
    Water is amphoteric. It can act like an acid or a base. (Water is H OH).

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which is the definition of Lewis acid?

    • Electron pair acceptor

    • Electron pair donor

    • H+ donor

    • H+ acceptor.

    Correct Answer
