Question 1

Marks: 1

Four 1.0 M solutions of HCl, NH₃, NaOH and CH₃COOH have been mislabelled, but a student has a pH meter to test the pH of the solutions. Arrange the solutions in order of increasing pH:

HCl (aq) < NH₃ (aq) < NaOH (aq) < CH₃COOH (aq)
CH₃COOH (aq) < HCl (aq) < NH₃ (aq) < NaOH (aq)
HCl (aq) < CH₃COOH (aq) < NH₃ (aq) < NaOH (aq)
NaOH (aq) < NH₃ (aq) < CH₃COOH (aq) < HCl (aq)

Question 2

Marks: 1

Below are four statements about acid and bases. Which is the correct one?

Strong acids are good proton donors and have weak conjugate bases.
Strong bases are good proton donors and have weak conjugate acids.
Weak acids are poor proton acceptors and have strong conjugate bases.
Strong acids are good proton donors and have strong conjugate bases.

Question 3

Marks: 1

Which statement is correct about the action of weak acids and their conductivity?

Weak acids are proton donors and their solutions are good conductors.
Weak acids are proton donors and their solutions are poor conductors.
Weak acids are proton acceptors and their solutions are good conductors.
Weak acids are proton acceptors and their solutions are good conductors.

Question 4

Marks: 1

Which is the correct expression for the ionic product of water at 25 ℃ is

$K_{w} = \frac{[H^{+}] [O H^{-}]}{[H_{2} O]}$
H₂O (l) ⇌ H⁺ (aq) + OH^- (aq)
K_w = [H⁺][OH^-]
1 x 10^-14 mol² dm^-6

Question 5

Marks: 1

34.3 cm³ of 0.125 mol dm^-3 sodium hydroxide solution reacts with 26.0 cm³ of sulfuric acid. What is the concentration of the acid?

$\frac{34.3 \times 0.125}{26.0}$
$\frac{2 \times 34.3 \times 0.125}{26.0}$
$\frac{34.3 \times 0.125}{2 \times 26.0}$
$\frac{26.0}{2 \times 34.3 \times 0.125}$

Fewer moles of base are needed to neutralise weak acids
Sodium carbonate reacts more slowly with weak acids
Weak acids have a lower pH than strong acids

Question 9

Marks: 1

K: pH= 8 L: [H⁺] = 1 x 10^-3mol dm^-3 M: pH= 5 N: [H⁺] = 1 x 10^-7mol dm^-3

What is their correct order of increasing acidity?

K < L < M < N
N < L < M < K
K < N < M < L
N < M < L < K
