Name:
1. Which of the following statements about acids and bases is INCORRECT?

An acid is a substance that, when in solution, produces hydronium ions
A base is a substance that, when in solution, produces hydroxide ions
An insoluble base is called an alkali
None of the above


2. Which of the following is not a property that can be used to distinguish between an acid and a base?

Electricity conduction in solution
Sour or bitter taste
Sting or burn the skin
Slippery or soapy feel


3. Which of the following reactions is correct?

Acid + Base = Salt + Oxygen Gas
Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide Gas
Acid + Metal = Salt + Water
All of the Above


4. Which of the following is a base?

Sugar
Milk of Magnesia
Vinegar
Sodium Chloride


5. Which of the following indicators would best be used to distinguish between a highly acidic substance and a slightly acidic substance?

Bromothymol Blue
Litmus
Methyl Orange
Phenolphthalein


6. Non-metal oxides are generally acidic oxides with the exceptions of...?

CO, NO and N2O
CO, CO2 and H2O
CO and CO2
There are no exceptions


t

7. Which of the following factors DO NOT affect equilibrium?

Concentration
Pressure
Temperature
Humidity


8. Given the following reaction, which of the following statements is FALSE?

Increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium left
Adding hydronium ions will shift the equilibrium left
Decreasing the temperature produces more acid
Increasing the pressure shifts the equilibrium right, producing more citric acid


9. Which of the following is not a natural cause of sulfur dioxide?

Smelting of sulfide ores
Bacterial decomposition of organic matter
Bushfires
Geological activity


10. Which of the following statements is true?

Air pollution continued to increase until the 1920s when stringent regulations were brought in as a result of deaths
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide form ions which dissolve in water making them difficult to measure
Only in the last decade has the technology become available to be able to determine the concentrations of pollution in the atmosphere
The industrial revolution of the 1600s is largely to blame for increases in air pollution


11. Which of the following statements about acid rain is INCORRECT?

It usually has a pH less than 5
It can be produced by rain dissolving oxides of sulfur and nitrogen
It can do damage to statues and buildings
When it falls into rivers and waterways, it has little effect as it becomes so dilute

Citric Acid
Acetic Acid
Ethanoic Acid
Vinegar


13. The name of the acid shown below is...?

Citric Acid
Acetic Acid
Ethanoic Acid
Both (b) and (c)


14. pH stands for...?

Strong acid
Weak acid
Concentrated Acid
Dilute Acid


16. Which of the following substances is not used as a food additive?

Water
Hydrogen Carbonate
Hydrochloric Acid
All of the above are amphiprotic


19. Which of the following statements is FALSE?

All neutralisation reactions involve proton transfer
Neutralisation reactions are sometimes called proton transfer reactions
Neutralisation reactions are endothermic
Industrial neutralisers should be amphiprotic


20. The below image is of ethanoic acid, an alkanoic acid. Which part of the structure of ethanoic acid is the distinguishing characteristic of alkanoic acids?



Its good looks
