PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY II (CHM 221) TEST

Instructions: Take Kw = 10–14, [H+][OH–] = 14 TIME: 30 MINS

1. Define the following:
Bronsted-Lowry define acid and base.
Strong acid
Weak base
Concentrated solution
Amphoteric substances
2. About 96.67% of an acid X donates protons to water when
mixed to give a resulting pH of 6.4 as the final solution
pH. Is the acid X a strong or weak acid? Give reasons for
your answer. Is the final solution concentrated or dilute?
Give reasons for your answer.
3. Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution with a 2.01 x 10–7
moldm–3 concentration of HCl molecules at equilibrium. Take
Ka = 1.4 x 105
