Honors Acid Base Chemistry Review

Front

What is the equivalence point in a titration?

Back

The equivalence point is the point at which the moles of the added base are equal to the moles of the acid initially present.

Front

What does it mean if phenolphthalein turns bright pink during a titration?

Back

It indicates that the solution is basic.

Front

What happens to the calculated molarity of HCl if the equivalence point is overshot during titration?

Back

The calculated molarity would be too high.

Front

Why do we perform a titration?

Back

To determine the concentration of an unknown solution.

Front

If the pH of a solution is 5.6, what is the pOH?

Back

The pOH is 8.4.

Front

Define a strong acid.

Back

A strong acid is an acid that completely dissociates in solution, releasing all of its hydrogen ions.

Front

Define a strong base.

Back

A strong base is a base that completely dissociates in solution, releasing all of its hydroxide ions.

Front

What is the pH scale range?

Back

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.

Front

What is the relationship between pH and pOH?

Back

pH + pOH = 14.

Front

What is a titration curve?

Back

A titration curve is a graph that shows the change in pH of a solution as a titrant is added.
