Acid-Base Chemistry and pH Measurement Quiz

#1

Which of the following is a strong acid?

Hydrochloric acid
Explanation

Hydrochloric acid dissociates completely in water.

#2

What is the pH of a neutral solution?

7
Explanation

A neutral solution has an equal concentration of H+ and OH- ions.

#3

What is the chemical formula of hydrochloric acid?

HCl
Explanation

Hydrochloric acid is composed of hydrogen and chlorine atoms.

#4

Which of the following acids is found in citrus fruits?

Citric acid
Explanation

Citric acid is naturally occurring in citrus fruits and gives them a sour taste.

#5

Which of the following is a characteristic property of acids?

Taste sour
Explanation

Acids commonly have a sour taste.

#6

Which of the following is a strong base?

Potassium hydroxide (KOH)
Explanation

Strong bases dissociate completely in water, releasing OH- ions.

#7

Which of the following is a weak base?

Ammonia
Explanation

Ammonia partially dissociates in water, releasing OH- ions.

#8

What is the pH of a 0.01 M hydrochloric acid solution?

1
Explanation

The pH is determined by the concentration of H+ ions, which is high in a strong acid.

#9

Which indicator is commonly used to determine the endpoint in an acid-base titration?

Phenolphthalein
Explanation

Phenolphthalein changes color at the equivalence point of a titration.

#10

Which of the following substances acts as a buffer solution?

Ammonium chloride solution
Explanation

A buffer solution maintains a stable pH by resisting changes in acidity or alkalinity.

#11

What is the pH of a 0.1 M solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)?

14
Explanation

Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, fully dissociating in water to produce a high concentration of OH- ions.

#12

What is the pH of a 0.01 M solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl)?

1
Explanation

The high concentration of H+ ions results in a low pH.

#13

What happens to the pH of a solution when it becomes more acidic?

Decreases
Explanation

Increasing H+ concentration lowers the pH.

#14

Which of the following is a Lewis acid?

AlCl3
Explanation

A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.

#15

Which of the following is a Lewis base?

NH3
Explanation

A Lewis base donates an electron pair.
