What is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration [H+] of 1 x 10^-4 M?
Answer: 4
pH = -log[H+] = -log(1 x 10^-4) = 4. This solution is acidic since the pH is below 7.
Which type of chemical bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms?
Answer: Covalent bond
Covalent bonds form when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, typically occurring between nonmetal elements.
In an exothermic reaction, what happens to energy?
Answer: Energy is released to the surroundings
Exothermic reactions release energy (usually as heat) to the surroundings, resulting in a negative enthalpy change (ΔH < 0).
What is the molarity of a solution containing 58.5 grams of NaCl dissolved in enough water to make 2 liters of solution? (Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol)
Answer: 0.5 M
Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution. Moles of NaCl = 58.5g / 58.5g/mol = 1 mol. Molarity = 1 mol / 2 L = 0.5 M.
Which of the following is a property of a buffer solution?
Answer: It resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added
Buffer solutions resist pH changes when small amounts of acid or base are added, maintaining pH within a narrow range.
What type of reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt?
Answer: Neutralization
A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and a base combine to form water and a salt, typically bringing the pH closer to 7.
