Exercise 2

Step 1

1 of 2

Acids are electrolytes that produce hydrogen ions as the only positive ion in their aqueous solution.

Step 2

2 of 2

Bases are electrolytes that produce hydroxide ions in their aqueous solution.

Exercise 3

Step 1

1 of 6

Acids react with metals to form hydrogen gas and a salt of the metal. For example:

$$
mathrm{2HCl_{(aq)} + Mg_{(s)} longrightarrow MgCl_{2(aq)} + H_{2(g)}}
$$

Step 2

2 of 6

Positive hydrogen ions; H$^+$ are the cause of acidity of acids.

Step 3

3 of 6

c.
Bromothymol blue indicator gives a yellow color in acids and a blue color in bases.

Step 4

4 of 6

The product of a neutralization reaction is water; a neutral product formed by the combination of the H$^+$ of the acid and OH$^-$ of the base. The by-product of a neutralization reaction is a salt.

Step 5

5 of 6

e.
The smaller the value of a pH of a solution the more acidic it is and the greater the value of a pH of a solution the less acidic it is. pH 0 to $<7$ implies an acidic solution.

Exercise 6

Step 1

1 of 3

a. Vinegar is a weak acid and if discarded can decrease the pH of water leaving the house.

Step 2

2 of 3

b. Bleach is a strong base used for cleaning and if discarded can increase the pH of water leaving the house.

Result

3 of 3

a. Vinegar

b. Bleach

Exercise 7

Step 1

1 of 2

a.
Acid precipitation adversely affects aquatic life in lakes. The acid in these precipitation reduces the pH of lakes eliminating certain species that can not survive in low pH environments. One example of this are snails. Snails can only live in water bodies having a pH of 5.5 or greater.

Step 2

2 of 2

b.
Addition of lime neutralizes the acidic effects of this precipitation as lime is calcium oxide which reacts with these acids to form salt and water. Neutralization of acid means that the pH of the lake will rise to 7, which is a favorable environment for all lake species and can sustain aquatic life.

Exercise 13

Step 1

1 of 2

a.
Calcium hydroxide is basic in nature and when dissolved in water form an alkali that has a pH greater than 7 and this is how its addition can increase the pH of soil.

Step 2

2 of 2

b.
This ability to slowly dissolve in water is an advantage because this prevents the flushing away of calcium hydroxide from the soil at a faster rate, with running water.

Exercise 14

Step 1

1 of 2

In the question we are going to summarize the acid and bases in a graphic organizer, my graphic organizer will include the following terms: synthesis, properties, neutralization, indicators, uses, pH, typical ion, environmental impact, and metal and nonmetals.

Step 2

2 of 2

Exercise 15

Step 1

1 of 2

a. The color shown here is pink. Phenol red is pink in acidic medium and yellow in pH $>5$. This implies that the water of the pool is slightly acidic.

Step 2

2 of 2

b. The water in the pool is slightly acidic, therefore the pH of the water must be increased. This can be done by adding borax to the pool. Borax is a base that will neutralize the acidity of the pool water.

Exercise 16

Step 1

1 of 3

a. Bromothymol blue is yellow in acidic medium and therefore this implies that A is hydrochloric acid. The gas produced on reaction with magnesium was hydrogen. Acids are good conductors of electricity and hence this too was a good conductor of electricity.

Step 2

2 of 3

b. Bromothymol blue remained blue indicating that this is neither an acid nor a base. It does not react with magnesium indicating that B is sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is a good conductor of electricity in aqueous form and hence this too was a good conductor of electricity.

Step 3

3 of 3

c. Bromothymol blue remained blue indicating that this is neither an acid nor a base. It does not react with magnesium indicating that C is sugar this is also proved by its electrical conductivity as sugar is a non-conductor of electricity in any state or form.

Exercise 17

Step 1

1 of 4

In this question, we will explain the meaning of buffer capacity, why different amounts of NaOH were added and which soil has the highest buffering capacity.

Step 2

2 of 4

A buffer is a compound that resists the change in pH, and a buffer capacity measures the efficiency of the buffer to resist the change in pH.

Step 3

3 of 4

Because sample 2 has a buffering capacity higher than sample 1, so it needed a higher volume of NaOH to neutralize the acid.

Step 4

4 of 4

Since sample 2 needed more volume of NaOH to neutralize the acid that means it has a higher buffering capacity.

Exercise 18

Step 1

1 of 2

Since chemicals can be flammable, toxic, corrosive, and a lot more, there is some information that should be mentioned on the label of each chemical container.

Step 2

2 of 2

Here are some of the information that should be mentioned on the label of each chemical container:
begin{enumerate}
item Signal word: it refers to words such as “Danger,” or “Warning,” and it is used to indicate the hazard level.
item Pictograms: a pictogram, or GHS hazard symbol, is a visual representation of hazardous products.
item Hazard statements: they are used to describe the degree of hazard and the nature of the hazardous material.
item Product identification: it describes the chemical`s name.
end{enumerate}

Exercise 19

Step 1

1 of 3

Answer to this question will include opinion about putting juice in an infant`s bottle and why is that so.

Step 2

2 of 3

It is a bad idea to put juice in an infant’s bottle, and according to The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP): it’s best to wait until your baby is 1 year old before giving them juice unless your doctor recommends it.

Step 3

3 of 3

Juices usually contain a certain amount of sugars, which are bad for your infant`s teeth (higher risk of developing cavities) and can lead to sugar addiction at a young age.

Step 4

4 of 5

The person should wear safety clothes such as a face mask, eye goggles, gloves, and a coat, the entire body should be covered.

Step 5

5 of 5

The simplest way to know if your spill is neutralized is by using a pH meter, the pH of the spill should be around 7.

Exercise 21

Step 1

1 of 5

In this question we are going to describe what the acid and base term meant to us before reading this chapter, how did our understanding can change after reading this chapter, the question we have regarding acids and bases, and what are the resources to find an answer to my question.

Step 2

2 of 5

Before reading this chapter, the ideas that I had about acids and bases are:\

begin{enumerate}
item The pH of acid is lower than 7 and higher than 7 for a base.
item Acids usually have a sour taste and bases have a bitter taste.
item Both acid and bases are good electrical conductors.
end{enumerate}

Step 3

After reading this chapter I have a deeper knowledge of acids and bases in general, the serious effect they have on our environment, and what are the benefits of some of the acid-base reactions.

Step 4

4 of 5

The question that I have is what is the advanced indication technique to show if a material is acidic or basic, and does it show the precise pH number?

Step 5

5 of 5

The resources that I would use to find an answer to my question, are reading articles, science books, or using the internet to find the latest discoveries in the indication process.

Exercise 22

Step 1

1 of 3

In this question, we will state opinion about the transportations of acid and base and the accidents that can happen while transporting them.

Step 2

2 of 3

a) Acids and base have huge benefits in almost every industry, sometimes when moving them from a place to another can be dangerous and accidents can happen, but in the end, we still need to transport them from a place to another, so the best thing to do is to find a safe way of using or transporting them to avoid accidents that can harm individuals and our environment.

Step 3

3 of 3

b) Some chemicals have many advantages in our life and we can not stop using them, so the best way is to safely use or transport them to eliminate the chances of any accidents occurring.
