Blank page sample exam.  If you are going to do well on the exam over the material in this chapter, you should be able to take some blank sheets of paper and write answers to the following.


1.  Define  acid and base in several ways and give examples the illuminate the definitions.


2.  Using primarily the  Arrhenius definition of acid and base; define and give examples each of the following (be sure to concentrate on using reactions equations to  illuminate what you mean}: strong acid; strong base; weak acid; weak base; self ionization of water; acid solution; basic solution; hydrolysis reaction; conjugate base; conjugate acid; pH; pOH; amphoteric substance.


3.  Give examples of how you would calculate the pH of the following:strong acid; strong base; weak acid; weak base; a salt of a weak acid; a salt of a weak base; a salt of a strong acid; a buffer solution.  


4.  Give examples of the following series and discuss how  the acid-base strength of the series varies within each series: a) solutions of  oxides of elements going from the left on the periodic table to the right b) solutions of hydrides of the elements going from left on the periodic table to the right side. c) solutions of oxides of a particular non-metal as it gains oxygen d) acid strength of organic compounds as various electron repelling or attracting substituents are added.
