1. According to the Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance that:

A)    Changes litmus from red to blueB)    Changes phenolphthalein from colorless to

pinkC)    Produces hydronium ions as the only

positive ions in an aqueous solutionD)    Produces hydroxide ions as the only

negative ions in an aqueous solution

Correct Answer: Option C - Produces hydronium ions as the only positive ions in an aqueous solution

1. An acidic solution could have a pH of:

A)    3.5B)    7C)    10D)    14

Correct Answer: Option A - 3.5

11. Some alternate acid base theories define an acid as any species that can:

A)    Donate an electronB)    Donate a protonC)    Accept a protonD)    Accept an electron

Correct Answer: Option B - Donate a proton

In the Brønsted-Lowry theory is an acid-base theory in which, an acid is defined as any chemical species that is able to lose, or "donate" a hydrogen ion (proton), and a base is a species with the ability to gain or "accept" a hydrogen ion (proton).

12. When HCl(aq) is exactly neutralized by KOH(aq), the hydrogen ion concentration in the resulting mixture is:

A)    Always equal to the concentration of the hydroxide ionsB)    Sometimes greater and sometimes less than the

concentration of the hydroxide ionsC)    Always less than the concentration of the hydroxide ionsD)    Always greater than the concentration of the hydroxide

ions

Correct Answer: Option A - Always equal to the concentration of the hydroxide ions

Neutralization is a chemical reaction whereby an acid and a base react to form water and a salt.

16. A student wishes to prepare approximately 100 milliliters of an aqueous solution of 6M HCl using 12 M HCl. Which procedure is correct?

A)    Adding 50 mL of water to 50 mL of 12 M HCl while stirring the mixture steadily.

B)    Adding 50 mL of 12 M HCl to 50 mL of water and then stirring the mixture steadily.

C)    Adding 50 mL of 12 M HCl to 50 mL of water while stirring the mixture steadily.

D)    Adding 50 mL of water to 50 mL of 12 M HCl and then stirring the mixture steadily.

Correct Answer: Option C - Adding 50 mL of 12 M HCl to 50 mL of water while stirring the mixture steadily.

Adding acid to water prevents the acid from splattering. Never add water to acid.

17. In which laboratory process could a student use 0.10 M NaOH(aq) to determine the concentration of an aqueous solution of HBr?

A)    Decomposition of the soluteB)    ChromatographyC)    Evaporation of the solventD)    Titration

Correct Answer: Option D - Titration

18. Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:NH3(g) + H2O(l) → NH4

+(aq) + OH-(aq)

According to one acid-base theory, the NH3(g) molecules act as

A)    An acid because they accept H+ ionsB)    An acid because they donate H+ ionsC)    A base because they accept H+ ionsD)    A base because they donate H+ ions

Correct Answer: Option C - A base because they accept H+ ions

According to the acid base theory H+ ions or hydronium ions are given out by acids and accepted by bases. Since, NH3(g) accepts H+ ion to become NH4

+ in the above equation NH3

molecule acts as a base.

19. What volume of 0.120M HNO3(aq) is needed to completely neutralize 150 milliliters of 0.100 M NaOH(aq)?

A)    125 mLB)    62 mLC)    180 mLD)    360 mL

Correct Answer: Option A - 125 mL

In titration method,(Volume of acid) x (molarity of the acid) neutralizes an equal

volume of base x the molarity of the baseVAcid x MAcid = VBase x MBase

where V = volume and M = molarity of HNO3 and NaOH.i.e. 0.120M x V = 0.100M x 150mlVolume of HNO3 = (0.100 x 150) / 0.120

= 125mL of 0.120M HNO3

20. The following data were collected at the endpoint of a titration performed to find the molarity of an HCl solution.

Volume of acid (HCl) used = 14.4 mLVolume of base (NaOH) used = 22.4 mLMolarity of standard base (NaOH) = 0.20 M

What is the molarity of the acid solution?A)    1.5MB)    0.13MC)    0.31MD)    0.64 M

Correct Answer: Option C - 0.31M

21. The reaction between hydroxyl ions and hydrogen ions is called:

A)    AnalysisB)    NeutralizationC)    HydrolysisD)    Decomposition

Correct Answer: Option B - Neutralization

Neutralization is a chemical reaction whereby an acid and a base react to form water and a salt.

22. A water solution of H2S is:

A)    NeutralB)    BasicC)    AcidicD)    Salty

Correct Answer: Option C - Acidic

24. The acid present in vinegar is:

A)    Hydrogen sulfideB)    Acetic acidC)    Nitric acidD)    Sulfuric acid

Correct Answer: Option B - Acetic acid

Correct answer: (2)

Correct answer: (4) BaSO4

Correct answer: (3) HBr

Correct answer: (3) H2SO4(aq) and Ca(OH)2(aq)
