Intro to Acids and Bases PS

Front

What is the pH range of bases?

Back

Greater than 7.

Front

How do you calculate pH from [H⁺]?

Back

pH = -log[H⁺]. For example, if [H⁺] = 9.3x10⁻¹¹, then pH = 10.0.

What are the products of the neutralization reaction between Ca(OH)₂ and H₂CO₃?

Back

H₂O + CaCO₃.
