PRACTICE WORKSHEET ON ACID, BASES AND SALT.

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

1.What is a neutralization reaction?

2.What will be the products of the following reaction?

HCI + NaOH

3.pH stands for the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration. True or false

4.Name two indicators which are widely used in laboratories.

5.Does distilled water conduct electricity? Yes or No.

6.What are olfactory indicators? Give three example.

7.What is the organic acid present in tomato?

8.What are indicators?

Solution
Indicators are weak inorganic compounds which change color in accordance with the pH of
the solution.
Indicators dissociate slightly in a solution producing - ions and dissociated molecules.The
color of the ions produced is dependent on the - hydrogen ion concentration.
9.What would happen if a small amount of copper oxide is taken in a beaker and dilute HCI
is added to it?
10.What is the 'pH' of pure water and that of rain water? Elaborate it
Solution
pH VALUE OF pure water us 7 i.e it is neither acidic nor basic.
Normal rainwater has a pH of 5.6 (slightly acidic). This is because it is exposed to the carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide gets dissolved in the rainwater and forms
carbonic acid (H{-2}CO{-3}).

11. Why care must be taken while mixing concentrated nitric acid or sulphuric acid with
water?
12.On which factors does the strength of an acid or a base depend? Explain.
13.Name the common acid-base indicators used in the laboratory with their color change.
14. (a)What is pH scale and what’s its range? How is it related to hydronium ion
concentration?
(b)Explain any two roles played by pH levels of various chemicals in living organisms.
15. Explain the following by giving examples

1. How metal oxides react with acids?

2. How non- metal oxides react with base
