Question 1

Question
Which of the following options best describes the properties of acids?
Answer
  • 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

Question 2

Question
Which of the acids below are strong mineral acids? (multiple answers are correct)
Answer
  • Hydrochloric acid - HCl
  • Nitrous Acid - HNO2
  • Sulfurous acid - H2SO3
  • Sulfuric acid - H2SO4
  • Nitric Acid - HNO3

Question 3

Question
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"?
Answer
  • Dissociate
  • Disintegrate
  • Disperse
  • Ionise

Question 4

Question
Which ionisation equation best describes how CH3COOH (ethanoic acid) dissociates in solution?
Answer
  • CH3COOH --> 2H+ + CH2OO-
  • CH3COOH --> CH3COO- + H+
  • CH3COOH --> 3H+ + CHCOO-

Question 5

Question
A strong acid is an acid that:
Answer
  • 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

Question 6

Question
Basicity refers to the number of H+ ions released by an acid in solution. What do understand by the word monobasic acid?
Answer
  • releases two H+ ions in solution (per molecule)
  • releases one H+ ion in solution (per molecule)
  • releases three H+ ions in solution (per molecule)

Question 7

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

Question 8

Question
Fill in the equations below with the appropriate symbols: HCl → [blank_start]H+[blank_end] + Cl‾ H₂SO₄ → [blank_start]2H+[blank_end] + [blank_start]SO₄²‾[blank_end] [blank_start]H₂CO₃[blank_end] → 2H+ + CO₃²‾ HNO₃ → H+ + [blank_start]NO₃‾[blank_end]
Answer
  • H++
  • H-
  • H+
  • H
  • SO₃²‾
  • SO₄²‾
  • SO₃
  • SO₄
  • 2H+
  • OH-
  • 2H‾
  • 2H
  • NO₂‾
  • NO₃²‾
  • NO₃+
  • NO₃‾
  • HCO₃
  • H₂CO₃
  • H₂CO₂
  • H₃CO₃

Question 9

Question

Answer
  • Coca cola, Toothpaste, Stomach acid, Baking Soda
  • Coca cola, Lemon Juice, Stomach acid, Vinegar
  • Lemon Juice, Stomach acid, Vinegar, Water
  • Coca cola, Bleach, Toothpaste, Lemon Juice

Answer
  • True
  • False
