8.  List five properties of acids that are in your textbook.      

Acids conduct electricity, taste sour, neutralize bases, change the color of indicators, and react with some metals to produce hydrogen.

9.  List five properties of bases that are in your textbook.                              

Bases conduct electricity, taste bitter, neutralize acids, change the color of indicators, and feel slippery.

10. Make some brief notes on the commercial acids: HCl and H2SO4 (p 112).

HCl

 

 

 

 

H2SO4

 

 

 

11. Make some brief notes on the commercial base NaOH (p 114).

 

 

12. Describe the difference between a concentrated and dilute acid (hint: concentration refers to the molarity). Describe their relative conductivities.

Concentrated means relatively high molarity and dilute means relatively low molarity.

13. Describe the difference between a strong and weak acid (p 121-124). Use two examples and write equations to support your answer. Describe their relative conductivities.

A strong acid completely ionizes and a weak acid partially ionizes.

 

14. Describe a situation where a strong acid would have the same conductivity as a weak acid (hint: think about concentration).

A weak acid could have a high molarity and the strong acid could have a low molarity.

18. What does the term strong acid mean? They complete ionization into ions. Such as:  HCl  + H2O   → Cl-    +    H3O+

 

19. Why is it impossible to write an equilibrium expression for a strong acid?         Ka =             [H3O+] [Cl-]               

[HCl] is equal to zero and in math numbers divided by zero are undefined.                         [HCl]

Making a Universal Indicator Lab Activity

 

Mix the following indicators in a 50 mL beaker. Stir with an eyedropper.

Yamada’s Universal Indicator

5 drops thymol blue

8 drops methyl orange

5 drops phenolphthalein

10 drops bromothymol blue

20 drops of water

 

Part 1. In a spot plate add two drops of each buffer solution to a cell. Add one drop of Yamada’s indicator to each. Record each colour on another lab sheet by colouring the cell the same colour. Make sure you are accurate because you will use this information for future labs and projects.
