    Activity: Acids and Bases 1

    Uploaded by

    Realyn Jerusalem
    This document contains an activity worksheet on acids and bases for a general chemistry class. It lists 5 common acids and 5 bases found at home, and explains that water is considered neutral because it has an equal concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. It also states that the statement "an acid cannot exist in the absence of a base" is false, because the base neutralizes the acid. Finally, it provides the conjugate bases for 5 acids.

    ACTIVITY: ACIDS AND BASES 1


    GENERAL CHEMISTRY 2
    TOTAL POINTS: 20

    I. 5 ACIDS AND 5 BASES THAT ARE FOUND AT HOME


    ACIDS BASES
    1. Milk 1. Toothpaste
    2. Ascorbic acid 2. Baking soda
    3. Vinegar 3. Laundry detergent
    4. Ketchup 4. Bleach
    5. Coffee 5. Soap
    II. GIVEN THAT WATER IS AMPHIPROTIC, WHY IS
    WATER NEUTRAL?
    -water is considered neutral because the concentration of hydrogen and
    hydroxide ions is the same. It is neither an acid nor a base but is the
    reference point for acids and bases. Water can act like an acid in
    appropriate conditions such as releasing H+ ions when it reacts with a base
    stronger than it does.

    III. AN ACID CANNOT EXIST IN THE ABSENCE OF A BASE.”


    IS THIS STATEMENT TRUE OR FALSE?
    -False, because the base neutralizes the acid.

    IV. THE FORMULAS OF THE CONJUGATE BASES OF THE


    FOLLOWING ACID
    a. HCN = CN⁻
    b. HCOOH = HCOO⁻
    c. H2SO4 = HSO₄⁻
    d. H2S = HS⁻
    e. HNO2 = NO2⁻
