Formative Assessment #6
Please put away all books and have your phones off and away.
You will need your pencil, eraser, calculator, and periodic table. Good luck!
1. Name the following acids and give their modified Arrhenius ionization equations:
a. H2SO4 (aq)

b. HClO3 (aq)

c. HCN (aq)

2. A chem 20 class tested 5 substances not knowing what each substance was. The substances were
KCl, KOH, H3PO4, H2O2, and NaHCO3. They performed the following tests on the substances and
obtained these results:
Substance

From the results, determine which substance is which, justify why you think so, and explain
using an equation how they would behave in water. Determine if they are a weak base/acid, a strong
base/acid, a neutral ionic compound or a neutral molecular compound.
