Example Question #22 : Acid Base Chemistry

What volume of a 1.2M solution of hydrochloric acid is needed to neutralize 50mL of a 3M sodium hydroxide solution?

Possible Answers:

130mL $\displaystyle 130mL$

125mL $\displaystyle 125mL$

100mL $\displaystyle 100mL$

50mL $\displaystyle 50mL$

200mL $\displaystyle 200mL$

Correct answer:

125mL $\displaystyle 125mL$

Explanation:

The equation to use here is:

$\displaystyle (M_A)(V_A)=(M_B)(V_B)$

Here, M_A $\displaystyle M_A$is the molarity of the acid, V_A $\displaystyle V_A$ is the volume of the acid, M_B $\displaystyle M_B$is the molarity of the base, and V_B $\displaystyle V_B$is the volume of the base. Don't forget to convert the volume to liters!

$\displaystyle (1.2M)V_A=(3M)(0.050L)$

$V_A=\frac{(3M)(0.050L)}{1.2M}=0.125L=125mL$ $\displaystyle V_A=\frac{(3M)(0.050L)}{1.2M}=0.125L=125mL$

Example Question #22 : Acid Base Chemistry

What kind of reaction is an acid-base neutralization reaction?

Possible Answers:

Decomposition

Addition (synthesis)

Double-replacement

Oxidation-reduction

Single-replacement

Correct answer:

Double-replacement

Explanation:

Below is a generic acid-base neutralization reaction:

$HA+BOH\rightarrow H_2O + AB$ $\displaystyle HA+BOH\rightarrow H_2O + AB$

The products are always water, and a salt. This salt is produced from the resulting ions A^- $\displaystyle A^-$ and B^+ $\displaystyle B^+$. The $\displaystyle H$ from the acid replaces the $\displaystyle B$ from the base, and the $\displaystyle A$ from the acid replaces the $\displaystyle OH$ from the base. Since there are two replacements, acid-base neutralizations are classified as double-replacement reactions.

Example Question #23 : Acid Base Chemistry

Which of the following is the definition for an Arrhenius acid?

Possible Answers:

A substance that increases the H^+ $\displaystyle H^+$ concentration when added to water

A proton acceptor

A proton donor

None of these

A substance that increases the OH^- $\displaystyle OH^-$ concentration when added to water.

Correct answer:

A substance that increases the H^+ $\displaystyle H^+$ concentration when added to water

Explanation:

Arrhenius acid/base theory was created by Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius, and is the oldest acid/base classification. According to his classification, acids are compounds that increase the concentration of H^+ $\displaystyle H^+$ ions in a solution, while bases are compounds or elements that either decrease the concentration of H^+ $\displaystyle H^+$ ions in solution or increase the concentration of OH^- $\displaystyle OH^-$ ions in a solution. The other two answers describe the Brønsted–Lowry theory of acids and bases.
