Select one of the following:

  • Taste Bitter, pH above 7, Irritant, Aqueous

  • Taste Sour, pH above 7, release H+ ions in solution

  • Taste Sour, pH lower than 7, Explosive, Aqueous

  • Taste Sour, pH lower than 7, Corrosive, Aqueous

Explanation

Select one or more of the following:

  • Hydrochloric acid - HCl

  • Nitrous Acid - HNO2

  • Sulfurous acid - H2SO3

  • Sulfuric acid - H2SO4

Explanation

Question 3 of 10

1

When acids dissolve in water, they a"split-up" to release H+ ions. Which other terms can be used instead of the term "split-up"?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Dissociate

  • Disintegrate

  • Disperse

  • Ionise

Explanation

Question 4 of 10

1

Which ionisation equation best describes how CH3COOH (ethanoic acid) dissociates in solution?

Select one of the following:

  • CH3COOH --> 2H+ + CH2OO-

  • CH3COOH --> CH3COO- + H+

  • CH3COOH --> 3H+ + CHCOO-

Explanation

Question 5 of 10

1

A strong acid is an acid that:

Select one of the following:

  • has a lot of water added to it

  • dissociates (splits up) to release a lot of H+ ions

  • dissociates (splits up) to release a little H+ ions

  • has little water added to it

Explanation

Question 6 of 10

1

Basicity refers to the number of H+ ions released by an acid in solution. What do understand by the word monobasic acid?

Select one of the following:

  • releases two H+ ions in solution (per molecule)

  • releases one H+ ion in solution (per molecule)

  • releases three H+ ions in solution (per molecule)

Explanation

Question 7 of 10

1

What happens to blue litmus paper when it is dipped in a solution of HCl in methylbenzene?

Select one of the following:

  • It turns red because the HCl ionises releasing H+ ions. This makes the solution acidic.

  • It remains blue because HCl does not ionise. It does not release H+ ions. The solution remains neutral.

  • It turns white because HCl in methylbenzene is a type of bleach.

  • The litmus paper dissolves completely because HCl in methylbenzene is a very strong acid.
