#1
Which of the following is a strong acid?
Hydrochloric acid
ExplanationHydrochloric acid dissociates completely in water.
#2
What is the pH of a neutral solution?
7
ExplanationA neutral solution has an equal concentration of H+ and OH- ions.
#3
What is the chemical formula of hydrochloric acid?
HCl
ExplanationHydrochloric acid is composed of hydrogen and chlorine atoms.
#4
Which of the following acids is found in citrus fruits?
Citric acid
ExplanationCitric 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
ExplanationAcids commonly have a sour taste.
#6
Which of the following is a strong base?
Potassium hydroxide (KOH)
ExplanationStrong bases dissociate completely in water, releasing OH- ions.
#7
Which of the following is a weak base?
Ammonia
ExplanationAmmonia partially dissociates in water, releasing OH- ions.
#8
What is the pH of a 0.01 M hydrochloric acid solution?
1
ExplanationThe 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
ExplanationPhenolphthalein changes color at the equivalence point of a titration.
#10
Which of the following substances acts as a buffer solution?
Ammonium chloride solution
ExplanationA 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
ExplanationSodium 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
ExplanationThe 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
ExplanationIncreasing H+ concentration lowers the pH.
#14
Which of the following is a Lewis acid?
AlCl3
ExplanationA Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
#15
Which of the following is a Lewis base?
NH3
ExplanationA Lewis base donates an electron pair.
