    e.) Which of the following would make a strong base less dangerous to work with?

    • Diluting the base to a very low concentration.

    • Adding an acid, neutralizing the base.

    • Either of these options would make the base safer to work with.

    Correct Answer
    A. Either of these options would make the base safer to work with.
    Explanation
    Diluting the base to a very low concentration or adding an acid to neutralize the base would both make the base safer to work with. Diluting the base reduces its strength, making it less likely to cause harm or damage. Adding an acid to neutralize the base also reduces its reactivity and potential danger. Therefore, either of these options would effectively decrease the risk associated with working with a strong base.

    f.) Which of the following is an example of an acid?

    • HNO3

    • NaOH

    • CuOH

    • AgOH

    Correct Answer
    A. HNO3
    Explanation
    HNO3 is an example of an acid because it is a strong acid known as nitric acid. It dissociates completely in water to produce hydrogen ions (H+) and nitrate ions (NO3-). Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, and HNO3 fits this definition. NaOH, CuOH, and AgOH are examples of bases because they release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.

    • HNO3

    • NaOH

    • H2SO4

    • HCl

    Correct Answer
    A. NaOH
    Explanation
    NaOH is an example of a base because it is a hydroxide compound. Bases are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water and have a pH greater than 7. NaOH dissociates in water to form Na+ and OH- ions, making it a strong base.

    e.) Which of the following solutions will be the strongest electrolyte? (Note: HCl is a strong acid; HC2H3O2 is a weak acid)

    • 1 M HCl

    • 0.1 M HCl

    • 1 M HC2H3O2

    • 0.1 M HC2H3O2

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 M HCl
    Explanation
    The strongest electrolyte will be the solution with the highest concentration of ions. HCl is a strong acid, which means it dissociates completely in water to form H+ and Cl- ions. Therefore, a 1 M solution of HCl will have a higher concentration of ions compared to the other solutions, making it the strongest electrolyte. HC2H3O2 is a weak acid, so it does not completely dissociate in water, resulting in a lower concentration of ions in the solution.

    a.) What are the products of the following reaction?

    • Au3N + K

    • AuK + N

    • AuNK

    • No reaction will occur

    Correct Answer
    A. No reaction will occur
    Explanation
    The reaction between Au3N and K will not produce any products because there is no evidence of a chemical reaction occurring between the two substances. The presence of Au3N and K alone does not indicate any potential reaction or formation of new compounds. Therefore, the correct answer is that no reaction will occur.

    c.) What precipitate will form from the following double replacement reaction?

    • Ca(OH)2

    • NaNO3

    • NaCa

    • OHNO3

    Correct Answer
    A. Ca(OH)2
    Explanation
    In the given double replacement reaction, Ca(OH)2 and NaNO3 are the reactants. Double replacement reactions involve the exchange of ions between two compounds. Ca(OH)2 is a base and NaNO3 is a salt. When they react, the Ca2+ ions from Ca(OH)2 will combine with the OH- ions from NaNO3 to form Ca(OH)2, which is a precipitate. Therefore, the precipitate that will form from this reaction is Ca(OH)2.

    b.) Which of the following statements about the single replacement reaction below is TRUE? - ProProfs

    b.) Which of the following statements about the single replacement reaction below is TRUE?

    • Ca gives electrons to Zn, making Ca a cation.

    • Ca gives electrons to Zn, making Zn a cation.

    • Zn gives electrons to Ca, making Ca a cation.

    • Zn gives electrons to Ca, making Zn a cation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Ca gives electrons to Zn, making Ca a cation.
    Explanation
    In a single replacement reaction, a more reactive metal can replace a less reactive metal in a compound. In this case, calcium (Ca) is more reactive than zinc (Zn). When Ca gives electrons to Zn, Ca loses electrons and becomes a cation (Ca2+). Zn gains electrons and becomes a neutral atom, not a cation. Therefore, the statement "Ca gives electrons to Zn, making Ca a cation" is true.

    b.) Which of the following statements about the single replacement reaction below is TRUE?

    • Mg gives electrons to K, making K a cation.

    • Mg gives electrons to K, making Mg a cation.

    • K gives electrons to Mg, making Mg a cation.

    • K gives electrons to Mg, making K a cation.

    Correct Answer
    A. K gives electrons to Mg, making K a cation.
    Explanation
    In a single replacement reaction, one element replaces another element in a compound. The element that is being replaced loses electrons and becomes a cation, while the element that is doing the replacing gains electrons and becomes an anion. In this reaction, K gives electrons to Mg, which means K is losing electrons and becoming a cation. Therefore, the statement "K gives electrons to Mg, making K a cation" is true.

    f.) Which of the following statements about acid-base reactions is TRUE?

    • Acids give hydrogen ions to bases.

    • Bases give hydrogen ions to bases.

    • Acids give electrons to bases.

    • Bases give electrons to acids.

    Correct Answer
    A. Acids give hydrogen ions to bases.
    Explanation
    This statement is true because in acid-base reactions, acids donate hydrogen ions (H+) to bases. Acids are proton donors, meaning they release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Bases, on the other hand, accept these hydrogen ions, forming water molecules. This transfer of hydrogen ions is what characterizes acid-base reactions.

    • Sodium gives electrons to silver, making sodium a cation.

    • Silver gives electrons to sodium, making silver a cation.

    • Silver gives electrons to sodium, making sodium a cation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sodium gives electrons to silver, making sodium a cation.
    Explanation
    In a single replacement reaction, a more reactive element replaces a less reactive element in a compound. In this case, sodium, which is more reactive than silver, gives electrons to silver, causing it to become a cation. This means that sodium loses electrons and becomes a cation. Therefore, the statement "Sodium gives electrons to silver, making sodium a cation" is true.

    e.) Which of the following statements about strong bases is TRUE?

    • Strong bases remove hydrogen ions from other compounds easily.

    • Strong bases give away hydrogen ions more easily than weak bases.

    • Strong bases always come in high concentrations.

    • Adding a hydrogen ion to a strong base is more difficult than adding one to a weak base.

    Correct Answer
    A. Strong bases remove hydrogen ions from other compounds easily.
    Explanation
    Strong bases are substances that can easily accept or remove hydrogen ions (protons) from other compounds. This is because strong bases have a high affinity for hydrogen ions and can readily react with them. In contrast, weak bases have a lower affinity for hydrogen ions and are less effective at removing them from other compounds. Therefore, the statement "Strong bases remove hydrogen ions from other compounds easily" is true.

    c.) What precipitate will form from the following double replacement reaction?

    • CaCO3

    • KCl

    • KCa

    • No precipitate will form.

    Correct Answer
    A. CaCO3
    Explanation
    In this double replacement reaction, CaCO3 and KCl are the reactants. When they react, CaCO3 dissociates into Ca2+ and CO3^2- ions, while KCl dissociates into K+ and Cl- ions. The ions then rearrange to form new compounds. However, since CaCO3 is insoluble in water, it will not dissociate completely and will remain as a solid precipitate. Therefore, the precipitate formed from this reaction is CaCO3.

    e.) Which of the following statements about strong acids is TRUE?

    • Strong acids dissociate more easily than weak acids.

    • Removing a hydrogen ion from a strong acid is more difficult than removing one from a weak acid.

    • Strong acids always have high concentrations.

    • Strong acids are amphoteric.

    Correct Answer
    A. Strong acids dissociate more easily than weak acids.
    Explanation
    Strong acids dissociate more easily than weak acids because they completely ionize in water, meaning that all of the acid molecules break apart into ions. In contrast, weak acids only partially ionize in water, so only a fraction of the acid molecules dissociate into ions. This is due to the difference in the strength of the chemical bonds in strong and weak acids. Strong acids have stronger bonds that are more easily broken, leading to complete dissociation. Weak acids have weaker bonds that are less likely to break, resulting in partial dissociation.
