Which one of the following pairs of acids
and their conjugate bases is INCORRECTLY
matched?

1. NH+
4 : NH2 correct

2. HF : F

1. H2 CrO4 : chromic acid

3. H3 O+ : H2 O

2. HBrO4 : perbromic acid

4. HClO : ClO

3. HCN : hydrocyanic acid

5. H2 O : OH

4. H2 PO4 : phosphoric acid correct

Explanation:
Phosphoric acid is H3 PO4 .
Bromic acid is HBrO3 . P erbromic acid
has one more oxygen atom, so its formula is
HBrO4 .
HCN is hydrogen cyanide. In aqueous solution, HCN is known as hydrocyanic acid.
CrO2
is the chromate ion. H2 CrO4 is
4
chromic acid.

Which of the following is NOT a property of
bases?

Explanation:
An acid is a proton donor and a base is a
proton acceptor. The only difference between
the acid and its conjugate base is that the
base has one less H atom. NH
2 has two
+
fewer H atoms than the NH4 ; therefore, it is
incorrectly matched.

b b

Explanation:
Bases have a bitter taste and have a slippery feel. They also react with acids to form
salts. Both acids and bases give chracteristic colors with indicators. However, bases
produce hydroxide ions, OH , in aqueous solution, not hydrogen ions, H+ .

added to water. correct

008 10.0 points
HF is a stronger acid than NH+
4 . Which base
would be stronger: F or NH3 ?
1. Both bases would be equal in strength.

[OH ]x = 1000 [OH ] = (103 )(109 M)

= 106 M
pOHx = log(OHx ) = 6

7. 1.36 g

3. 8.0 101 M

8. 0.0112 g

4. 7.9 109 M correct

9. 5.49 g
Explanation:

What is the pH of a solution for which [OH ]
equals 6.7 1010 M?

V = 11.5 L

[H+ ] = 10pH = 103.75 = 0.000177828

Since HNO3 is a strong acid,

Correct answer: 4.82607.

Explanation:
[OH] = 6.7 1010 M

HNO3 (aq) H+ (aq) + NO

3 (aq) .
pH = ?

[H3 O+ ][OH ] = 1.0 1014 M2

1.0 1014 M2
[H3 O+ ] =
[OH ]
1.0 1014 M2
=
6.7 1010 M
= 1.49254 105 M
pH = log[H3 O+ ]
= log(1.49254 105 )
= 4.82607

One HNO3 one H+ , so

[H+ ] = [HNO3 ] = 0.000177828 M and
(11.5 L)

0.000177828 mol HNO3

1L
= 0.00204502 mol HNO3 .

Thus
63.1 g HNO3
(0.00204502 mol HNO3 )
1 mol HNO3
= 0.129041 g HNO3

012 10.0 points

How many grams of HNO3 are needed to give
a pH of 3.75 in an 11.5 L tank? The molar
mass of HNO3 is 63.1 g/mol.
1. 0.00204 g
2. 0.129 g correct
3. 0.466 g

5. 0.0000324 g

2. 5.12
3. 8.88
4. 2.22
5. 7.00
Explanation:
[KOH] = 0.006 M
KOH is a strong base which completely
dissociates in aqueous solution:
KOH OH + K+

[OH] = [KOH] = 0.006 M

Which substance is NOT a soluble, strong
base?
1. Ba(OH)2
2. LiOH
3. KOH
4. NaOH
5. Zn(OH)2 correct

Select the solution with the highest pH.
1. 105 M Ca(OH)2

3. 103 M H2 SO4
4. 103 M Ca(OH)2 correct
5. 103 M HCl
6. 105 M NaOH
7. 103 M NaOH
Explanation:
A solution with a high pH is a basic solution
so you can eliminate all the acid solutions.
Now you are looking for the solution that
produces the largest number of moles of OH .
103 M is more concentrated than 105 M.
Ca(OH)2 produces twice as many moles of
OH than NaOH. Therefore 103 M Ca(OH)2
will have the highest pH.
