What are some acids from “real-life-around-the-house”?

What are some bases from “real-life-around-the-house”?

Draw a diagram of the pH scale, labeling the parts that are acidic and basic.

What ion do many, many acids have?

What ion do many, many bases have?

What are the words “caustic” and “alkaline” sometimes used for?

Label the following as acids or bases.

HCN Ba(OH) 2 HNO2 HClO4
HI NaOH

KOH HBr NH3

When acids and bases get together, they perform a double replacement reaction that has a special name.
That name is _______________________.

A system of naming things is a _____________________.

Write the names for the following acids and bases:

a) KOH ____________________________________

b) H2Se ____________________________________
 c) C2H3O2H ____________________________________

d) Fe(OH)2 ____________________________________

e) HCN ____________________________________

Classify the following as acids, bases, or salts:

1. HCl

2. NaOH

3. Na2SO4
4. NH4OH

5. H2SO4
6. KCl

Classify the following as acids or bases. Their pH values are given to help you.

7. Solution A; pH = 14.0

8. Solution B; pH = 6.2

9. Solution C; pH = 3.6

10 Solution D; pH = 7.0

11. Solution E; pH = 8.1

Predict products for and balance the following acid-base reactions:

12. HCl + NaOH 

13. Mg(OH)2 + HCl 

14. H3PO4 + Ca(OH)2 

15. LiOH + CH3COOH 
