Section 1: Multiple Choice questions


#1 Which of the following terms matches the definition?

14 always!!



#2 Which of the following definitions matches the term?

strong acid-weak base reaction



#3 Which of the following terms matches the definition?

increasing/decreasing concentrations of buffer components, but keeping the ratios constant (if you don't it'll change the buffer capacity for either acid or base respectively)



#4 Which of the following terms matches the definition?

HA(aq) + OH- --> A-(aq) + H2O(L) if weak acid is in excess --> a buffer --> Hendeson Hasselbalch equaiton if strong base is in excess, the moles of excess hydroxide ions is used for pH if acid and base are equimolar then the equilibrium concentr



#5 Which of the following terms matches the definition?

pH = pKa



Section 2: True/false questions


#6 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

strong acid strong base equivalence point

pH = 7 @ 25 C / 298 K







#7 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

how do you calculate a buffer's pH

pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA] ---> acids pOH = pKb + log [BH+]/[B] ---> bases the conjugate salt is on top, and the bottom is either the base or the acid assume there is a limiting and excess reagent (because it will contain either a strong acid or base)







#8 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

in what range are buffers effective

increasing/decreasing concentrations of buffer components, but keeping the ratios constant (if you don't it'll change the buffer capacity for either acid or base respectively)







#9 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

what is a buffer

solution that is resistant to a small pH change, it has to contain a weak acid or base pared with its conjugate salt(Na+, H3O-, etc...) and it creates neutral compounds, keeping pH relatively stable







#10 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

H2O pH is always...

7, could be acid (pH) or base (pOH)
