Which of the following may be polyprotic? H2SO4 HCl HNO3
H2SO4
100
In the reaction HCl + NH3 = Cl- + NH4+ which are the conjugate acid and base?
Cl- conjugate base NH4+ conjugate acid
100
Which is greater the number of people on earth or the number of bacteria in your intestines?
Bacteria, by a lot.
200
Will an acid conduct an electric current? Why?
Yes. They dissociate into charged ions.
200

What texture do bases have? Why?

They feel slippery, because they are breaking down the protein in your skin and fingertips.

200
What does it mean to be polybasic?
It can receive multiple protons. (or in most cases it can donate multiple OH ions)
200
In the reaction HNO3 + H2O what would the conjugate base be?
NO3-
200
Which weighs more a humming bird or 3 pennies?
Hummingbirds weigh less than one penny.
300
What is the result of combining an acid with a carbonate compound? What is the product?
The acid is neutralized, CO2 is produced.
300
Do Bases conduct electricity? Why?
Yes, because they receive a proton giving them a charge. Charged particle (ions) conduct current in aqueous solutions.
300
With the diprotic acid H2SO4 being added to water what are the products for the first and second reactions?
1) HSO4- + H3O+ 2) SO4 2- + H3O+
300
What are the conjugate bases and acids in the reaction between CH3COOH and H2O?
CH3COO- conjugate base H3O+ conjugate acid
300
True or False all modern british tanks come equipped with tea making equipment?
True.
400
Would an acid be a better cleaner for the kitchen or the bathroom? Why?
The Bathroom, Hardwater, urea, and feces are all basic, acid cleaners are better able to break them down.
400
In the reaction between NH3 and H2O, name two bases.
NH3 is a base OH- is a base
400
Why is CH3COOH considered monoprotic when it has 4 hydrogen atoms?
Because it will only donate one of the hydrogen atoms as a proton.
400
What are the conjugate acids for H2SO4 + Ba(OH)2
HSO4- H3O+
400
Which is longer the small intestine unraveled or the nephron from one kidney unravelled?
Nephrons.
500
What is the definition of a Bronsted-Lowry acid?
A substance that donates a proton.
500
What is the difference between Bronsted-Lowry's definition of a base and Arrhenius' definition of a base?
B-L bases receive protons Arrhenius donates OH in water.
500
List the acids in the reaction between H3PO4 and water.
H3PO4 Triprotic acid H2PO4- Diprotic acid HPO4 2- Monoprotic acid 3 H3O+ Conjugate acid
500
What are the conjugate bases for Na2CO3 + H2O?
NaHCO3 NaOH

What are Ampoteric compounds?
Compounds that can be both acid or base.
