1.

What is the Arrhenius definition of acids and bases?

a)

Acids produce H+ ions in water, and bases produce OH- ions in water.

Acids produce H+ ions in water, and bases produce O2- ions in water.

c)

Acids produce OH- ions in water, and bases produce O2- ions in water.

d)

Acids produce OH- ions in water, and bases produce H+ ions in water.

2.

Explain the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases.

a)

Acids accept protons, and bases donate protons in the Bronsted-Lowry theory.

b)

Acids and bases do not interact with protons in the Bronsted-Lowry theory.

c)

Acids donate protons, and bases accept protons in the Bronsted-Lowry theory.

d)

Bronsted-Lowry theory focuses on the interaction of acids and bases with electrons, not protons.

3.

Describe the Lewis theory of acids and bases.

a)

The Lewis theory of acids and bases is based on the pH scale.

b)

The Lewis theory of acids and bases involves the transfer of electrons.

c)

The Lewis theory of acids and bases focuses on protons.

d)

The Lewis theory of acids and bases focuses on electron pairs.

4.

What are the characteristics of acids according to the Arrhenius theory?

a)

Acids turn red litmus paper blue

b)

Acids are substances that produce hydroxide ions in water

b)

Strong acids have a pH of 10, weak acids have a pH of 5.

c)

Strong acids are blue, weak acids are red.

9.

Explain the concept of amphoteric substances.

Amphoteric substances can only act as acids

b)

Amphoteric substances are always neutral in nature

c)

Amphoteric substances react with only one type of chemical compound

d)

Amphoteric substances are chemical compounds that can act as both acids and bases depending on the reaction conditions.
