Questions:

1) What is the pH of a 1 M solution of each of the following? NaOH, HF, HCl, H2O

2) What happens to the [H+]/[OH-] ratio as the pH of a solution increases / decreases? (Does it stay the same, get larger or smaller?)

3) Which pH values represent an acidic solution? neutral solution? basic solution?

4) Why can an acid be both strong and dilute?

5) What is the ion product constant for water?

6) What is pH? What does it measure?

7) What are conjugate acid/conjugate base pairs? How do you know if you are dealing with one? Give an example.

8) Calculate [H+] in a solution if [OH-] = 3.25 x 10-8 M at 25oC, and tell if the solution is acidic, basic, or neutral.

9) What is the pH of a solution if [OH-] is 1.0 x 10-6 M?

13) What does a buffer solution contain? How does a buffer work?

14) What does a neutralization reaction produce?
