Question 4

Which base is a strong base?

Accepted Answer

LiOH (Lithium Hydroxide) is a strong base because it completely dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions, which is a characteristic of strong bases.

Question 5

Which strong acid is found in the body?

Accepted Answer

HCl, or hydrochloric acid, is found in the stomach where it aids in digestion by breaking down food and killing bacteria.

Question 6

Which acid is NOT a strong acid?

Accepted Answer

CH3COOH (acetic acid) is not a strong acid; it is a weak acid because it does not completely dissociate in water.

Question 7

Which buffer system is the primary buffering system in the blood?

Accepted Answer

The primary buffering system in the blood is the carbonic acid (H2CO3) and bicarbonate (HCO3-) system, which helps maintain pH balance.

Question 8

The following reaction is a reversible reaction.Which statement BEST describes what it means for this reaction to be reversible? HCOOH + H₂O ⇌ HCOO^- + H₃O⁺

Accepted Answer

Forward and reverse reactions occur simultaneously.

Question 9

A sample of gastric juice has a pH of 1.20.What is the concentration of hydroxide in this sample?

Accepted Answer

The concentration of hydroxide ions ($OH^-$) in a solution can be found using the relationship between the pH and pOH values, where $pH + pOH = 14$. Given a pH of 1.20, the pOH is $14 - 1.20 = 12.80$. The concentration of $OH^-$ ions is then found using $10^{-pOH}$, which is $10^{-12.80} = 1.6 \times 10^{-13} M$.

Question 10

What is the pH of a solution with a [H₃O⁺] of 7.9 × 10^-11 M?

Accepted Answer

The pH of a solution is calculated using the formula pH = -log[H+], where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per liter (M). Given [H+] = 7.9 × 10^-11 M, pH = -log(7.9 × 10^-11) = 10.1.

Question 11

Which statement BEST describes the role of water in the reaction of ethanamine and water? CH₃CH₂NH₂ (aq)+ H₂O (l)⇌ CH₃CH₂NH₃⁺ (aq)+ OH^- (aq)

Accepted Answer

Water donates a proton (H⁺) to ethanamine, acting as an acid in this reaction.

Question 12

The [H₃O⁺] of a solution with a pH of 2 is ______ the [H₃O⁺] of a solution with a pH of 3.

Accepted Answer

The formula given decodes to [H3O+], which represents the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution, a key factor in determining its pH. The pH scale is logarithmic, meaning a pH difference of 1 unit corresponds to a tenfold difference in [H3O+]. Therefore, a solution with a pH of 2 has a hydronium ion concentration ten times greater than that of a solution with a pH of 3.

Question 13

When an acid is dissolved in water, it reacts to give _________ and ________.

Accepted Answer

When an acid dissolves in water, it donates a proton (H+) to water, forming hydronium ions (H3O+) and the conjugate base of the acid.

Question 14

Which statement BEST describes what it means for the acid-base reaction between acetic acid and water to be in equilibrium? CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COO^- + H₃O⁺

Accepted Answer

In a chemical equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction (acetic acid reacting with water) is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction (acetate reacting to form acetic acid and water). This does not necessarily mean that the amounts of reactants and products are equal, but that their rates of formation are balanced.

Question 15

Which of the following equations is the correctly balanced equation for the neutralization reaction of aluminum hydroxide and HCl?

Accepted Answer

The balanced equation for the neutralization of aluminum hydroxide with hydrochloric acid is Al(OH)₃ + 3 HCl → 3 H₂O + AlCl₃. This equation balances both the number of atoms and charges on both sides.

Question 16

What is the [OH^-] in a solution that has a [H₃O⁺] of 1 × 10^-6 M?

Accepted Answer

The product of [H₃O⁺] and [OH^-] in water is 1 × 10^-14 M². Given [H₃O⁺] = 1 × 10^-6 M, [OH^-] = 1 × 10^-14 / 1 × 10^-6 = 1 × 10^-8 M.

Question 17

Which pH range is referred to as physiological pH?

Accepted Answer

The physiological pH, which is the pH range of blood and most body fluids, is tightly regulated between 7.35 and 7.45.

Question 18

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which statement BEST describes the following reaction?...

Question 19

All acid-base reactions that we consider in this chapter occur in

Accepted Answer
