Carter was working with different concentrations of Sodium Hydroxide in the lab. Which of these would BEST describe the results Carter would see if he was using a conductivity apparatus in each of the different Basic concentrations?
The bulb would burn the same in all concentrations.
The light bulb would burn brightest in the weakest base.
The light bulb would burn brightest in the strongest base.
The light bulb would not burn as acids conduct electricity not bases.
Based on the information in the above chart, which of these acids would be the best conductor of electricity?
HCl
HNO3
H2CO3
H3BO3
Lakes and ponds which have limestone or calcium carbonate are affected less by acid rain than those which have granite. This is because
calcium carbonate solutions are much more acidic and neutralize the acid rain.
calcium carbonate solutions are much less acidic and are not affected by acid rain.
calcium carbonate solutions are basic and neutralize the acid rain.
calcium carbonate solutions are neutral and are not affected by acid rain.

Eddie should insert baking soda, pH 9, as a
Strong Acid
Strong Base
Neutral substance
Weak Base
Weak acid

Ava is preparing three solutions of salt water. Each of the solutions has the same amount of water in the beaker and a different amounts of salt. In the first beaker, there is one scoop of salt in the beaker. The second beaker has two scoops of salt. The third beaker has three scoops of salt. Which of the beakers is the most concentrated solution?
Beaker 1
Beaker 2
Beaker 3
all beakers are the same concentration

increase
decrease
multiply
remain the same
The addition of sulfuric acid to pure water causes the conductivity to _________.
increase
decrease

In a laboratory investigation, students measured the rate of fermentation in yeast cells. Data was collected by student groups showing how the rate of fermentation is altered by:
1. pH of the reaction mixture;
2. amount of yeast added to the reaction mixture;
3. type of sugar added to the reaction mixture.
Students were instructed to find the optimum conditions for a new fermentation process to be used at the local bakery. The one constant in all experimental groups is that the temperature remain at 25oC. Student teams used the Vernier Equipment
Pressure sensor, LabPro interface, gas pressure accessories kit, a clock with second hand, water bath, reaction flask with valve and tubing, turkey baster, thermometer, source of hot and cold water, balance, 25 mL graduated cylinder, buffer pH 7, yeast, and sucrose.
A control situation was run: a. temperature 25oC, b. 25 ml. of buffer pH 7, c. 2 grams of sucrose, d. 2 grams of yeast. The three substances were combined in the reaction flask and mixed by swirling. The flask and solution was placed in the 25oC water bath with the stopper firmly in place but, with the valve open. After 10 minutes, when the yeast was active, the flask was sealed by closing the valve. The collect button was clicked ON. A line, representing the pressure, appeared on the graph and individual measurements appeared in the data table.
Data was recorded for 300 seconds or until the pressure reached 120 kPa.
One student group varied the pH of the yeast mixture. Their results can be seen here. Based on their data, the most desirable pH for fermentation is
The optimum pH for fermentation is neutral.
The optimum pH for fermentation is below 5.5.
The optimum pH for fermentation is between 5.5 and 6.0.
The optimum pH for fermentation is anywhere in the acidic range.
Calcium Carbonate is often used in experiments to neutralize Sulfuric acid. In the picture above, the beaker on the left contains a solution of sulfuric acid. What can you conclude about the picture on the right?
The solution on the right has a pH less than 7.
The solution on the right will not conduct electricity.
It has similar characteristics as HCl and H2SO4.
It must be a base since is has the opposite reaction to litmus paper as sulfuric acid.
Nola and Bayleigh tried to dissolve 45 grams of NaCl in 100 grams of water at 80oC. Only 40 grams dissolved; 5 grams settled at the bottom of the beaker. The solution is then said to be ________________ at 80oC.
saturated
semisaturated
supersaturated
unsaturated
How does milk of magnesia act to calm an upset stomach?
Acidic milk of magnesia helps to counteract the stomach acid.
An upset stomach requires more acid instead of milk of magnesia.
The basic pH of milk of magnesia neutralizes any extra stomach acid.
Milk of magnesia has a neutral nature which dilutes the stomach acid.
Cooper is attempting to dissolve rock salt in warm water but it is a slow process. How could he most effectively increase the rate of solution of the rock salt?
Decrease the temperature of the water.
Increase the concentration of the salt.
Agitate the rock salt and the cool water.
Grind the rock salt into smaller pieces.
Determine which choice(s) is/are correct?
I. Grinding solids increases their surface area of contact.
II. Stirring slows down (decreases) rate of dissolution.
III. Grinding solids speeds up their rate of dissolution.
IV. Heating slows down (decreases) rate of dissolution.
I, II, and III
II and IV
I and III
III and IV
