1. The pH of a solution is a measure of the concentration of
hydrogen ions present. (True/False)
- True. The pH scale is a measure of the concentration of
hydrogen ions in a solution.
2. A buffer solution resists changes in pH when small amounts of
acid or base are added. (True/False)
- True. A buffer solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate
base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid, which can neutralize
small amounts of added acid or base.
3. The pKa of an acid is a measure of its strength as a proton
donor. (True/False)
- True. The lower the pKa of an acid, the stronger the acid and
the more readily it donates a proton.
4. The dissociation constant (Ka) for a weak acid is a measure of
its ability to donate protons. (True/False)
- True. The dissociation constant Ka measures the extent to
which a weak acid donates protons in solution.
5. In a titration, the equivalence point is reached when the moles
of acid are equal to the moles of base added. (True/False)
- True. The equivalence point in a titration is when the moles of
acid are equal to the moles of base added, indicating
neutralization.
6. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, while a pH below 7 is acidic
and above 7 is basic. (True/False)
- True. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, with lower values
indicating acidity and higher values indicating basicity.
7. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a buffer
