Questions and Answers

What is the primary characteristic of a strong acid?

It has a low pKa value.

It has a high pH value.

It does not completely ionize in solution.

It completely ionizes in solution. (correct)

Which of the following statements about pH is correct?

pH is a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions.

A pH of 7 is considered acidic.

pH values can range from -1 to 15.

pH decreases as the concentration of hydrogen ions increases. (correct)

How does the pKa of a weak acid relate to its strength?

pKa can only be calculated for strong acids.

The lower the pKa value, the stronger the acid. (correct)

pKa is not related to acid strength.

The higher the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

What role do buffers play in the bicarbonate buffer system?

They resist changes in pH when acids or bases are added. Signup and view all the answers
