Section 1: Multiple Choice questions


#1 Which of the following terms matches the definition?

14 always!!



#2 Which of the following terms matches the definition?

if weak base is in excess --> a buffer --> Hendeson Hasselbalch equaiton if strong acid is in excess, the moles of excess acid are used to determine pH if acid and base are equimolar then the equilibrium concentrations are used to determine pH



#3 Which of the following terms matches the definition?

increasing/decreasing concentrations of buffer components, but keeping the ratios constant (if you don't it'll change the buffer capacity for either acid or base respectively)



#4 Which of the following terms matches the definition?

HA(aq) + OH- --> A-(aq) + H2O(L) if weak acid is in excess --> a buffer --> Hendeson Hasselbalch equaiton if strong base is in excess, the moles of excess hydroxide ions is used for pH if acid and base are equimolar then the equilibrium concentr



#5 Which of the following definitions matches the term?

maximum buffering capacity



Section 2: True/false questions


#6 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

strong acid strong base equivalence point

pH = 7 @ 25 C / 298 K







#7 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

how do you calculate a buffer's pH

pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA] ---> acids pOH = pKb + log [BH+]/[B] ---> bases the conjugate salt is on top, and the bottom is either the base or the acid assume there is a limiting and excess reagent (because it will contain either a strong acid or base)







#8 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

in what range are buffers effective

1.0 x 10^-14 at 25 C or 298 K







#9 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

what is a buffer

HA(aq) + OH- --> A-(aq) + H2O(L) if weak acid is in excess --> a buffer --> Hendeson Hasselbalch equaiton if strong base is in excess, the moles of excess hydroxide ions is used for pH if acid and base are equimolar then the equilibrium concentr







#10 Determine if the following combination is true or false.

H2O pH is always...

7, could be acid (pH) or base (pOH)
