Sample 1difficulty 1/5
The pH scale above shows approximate pH values for several common substances.
By what factor is the [H+] in vinegar (pH 3) greater than in milk (pH 6.5)?
- A
About 100
- Bcheck_circle
About 3000
- C
About 30
- D
About 3
Why
Difference of 3.5 pH units means 10^3.5 ~ 3160 times more [H+] in vinegar than milk.
- A
Sample 2difficulty 1/5
What is true about solution X?
- A
[H+] < [OH-]
- B
[OH-] = 0
- C
[H+] = [OH-]
- Dcheck_circle
[H+] > [OH-]
Why
pH < 7 means [H+] > 1e-7 > [OH-]. Acidic.
- A

A Brønsted-Lowry acid is a
- A
Electron pair donor
- B
Electron pair acceptor
- Ccheck_circle
Proton donor
- D
Proton acceptor
Why
BL acid donates H⁺; BL base accepts H⁺.
- A
Sample 4difficulty 2/5
The conjugate acid of NH₃ is
- Acheck_circle
NH₄⁺
- B
NH₂⁻
- C
N₂H₄
- D
OH⁻
Why
Add H⁺ to NH₃ → NH₄⁺.
- A
Sample 5difficulty 2/5
The conjugate base of HCN is:
- A
H2O
- B
OH-
- Ccheck_circle
CN-
- D
H3O+
Why
The conjugate base of an acid is the species formed after the acid donates H+; HCN -> CN-.
