• 7

• 5

Which ions are considered neutral in a salt solution?

• Sodium and Chloride

• Potassium and Fluoride

• Ammonium and Nitrate

• Hydrogen and Hydroxide

What is the predicted pH of a basic salt solution?

• Greater than 7

Why is the Ka value of HF given when calculating the pH of a KF solution?

• To find the Ka value of fluoride

• To find the Kb value of fluoride

• To find the Ka value of potassium

• To find the Kb value of potassium

What equation is used to convert Ka to Kb?

• Kw = Ka / Kb

• Kw = Ka + Kb

• Kw = Kb - Ka

• Kw = Ka * Kb

What is the initial concentration of fluoride ions if the initial concentration of KF is 0.10 M?

• 0.20 M

• 0.10 M

• 0.05 M

• 0.01 M

What type of table is set up to solve hydrolysis equations?

• Molarity table

• Stoichiometry table

• ICE table

• Equilibrium table

What is the expression used to solve for x in the Kb equation?

• pH * initial concentration

• Kb * initial concentration

• Ka * initial concentration

• Kw * initial concentration

What is the pOH if the hydroxide ion concentration is 1.388 x 10^-11 M?

• 7

• 14
