Answer
  • strongly basic.
  • mildly acidic.
  • neutral.
  • alkaline.

Question 4

Question
A _____________ resists changes in pH. It is composed of an acid-base pair, and can be used to "protect" other substances from changes in pH.
Answer
  • conjugate formula
  • buffer solution
  • basic indicator
  • (none of the above)

Question 5

Question
__________ is the process used to determine buffering capacity (how much of an acid or base has to be added before buffers are no longer effective).
Answer
  • Titration
  • Burette
  • Buffer testing
  • Indication

Question 6
