200
(*** BONUS *** 3X point value) The conjugate base for formic acid, HCOOH.
What is HCOO-? (score +/- 3X points)
300
An ionic compound that forms when a metal atom replaces the hydrogen of an acid.
What is a salt?
300
The usual low to high range for pH values.

What is yellow? (Score +/- 600 points)
300
The taste of acidic and basic compounds, respectively.
What is an acid is sour/tart and a base is bitter/brackish?
300
The conjugate acid in the equation: NH3 + H2O --> NH4+ + OH-
What is NH4+?
400
The name of the variable ka, which is related to how much of a weak acid dissociates.
What is the acid ionization constant?
400
In NH3 and NaOH solutions of equal molarity, the one with the higher pH value and the reason.
What is NaOH because it is a strong base and completely dissociates, creating more OH- ions per mole than NH3 (a weak base)?
400
