What is the pH of a strong acid with [H⁺] = 0.01 M?
Answer: 2
pH = −log[H⁺] = −log(0.01) = −log(10⁻²) = 2.
What happens when a weak acid dissolves in water?
Answer: It partially ionizes, reaching equilibrium
Weak acids only partially ionize in water, establishing an equilibrium between the ionized and non-ionized forms. This contrasts with strong acids, which fully dissociate.
What is a buffer solution?
Answer: A solution that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added
A buffer solution resists significant changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Buffers typically consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or vice versa).
In a titration, what is the equivalence point?
Answer: When moles of acid equal moles of base
The equivalence point in a titration is the point at which the moles of acid are exactly equal to the moles of base — they have completely neutralized each other.
What is the conjugate base of H₂CO₃?
Answer: HCO₃⁻
When H₂CO₃ donates a proton (H⁺), it becomes HCO₃⁻ (bicarbonate ion), its conjugate base. Conjugate base = acid − one proton.
What type of reaction is HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O?
Answer: Neutralization
The reaction between an acid (HCl) and a base (NaOH) producing a salt (NaCl) and water (H₂O) is a neutralization reaction.
