Questions and Answers

Which of the following is a simplified definition of an acid and a base?

  • An acid increases the concentration of hydroxide (OH-) in a solution, while a base decreases the pH by providing hydrogen ions (H+) or another ion or molecule that adds hydroxide ions to solution.
  • An acid decreases the concentration of hydroxide (OH-) in a solution, while a base decreases the pH by providing hydrogen ions (H+) or another ion or molecule that removes hydroxide ions from solution.
  • An acid increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution, while a base raises the pH by providing hydroxide (OH-) or another ion or molecule that removes hydrogen ions from solution. (correct)
  • An acid decreases the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution, while a base raises the pH by providing hydroxide (OH-) or another ion or molecule that adds hydrogen ions to solution.

    • What happens to the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution when an acid is added?

  • The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) decreases.
  • The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) can increase or decrease depending on the acid.
  • The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) increases. (correct)
  • The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) remains the same.

    • What happens to the pH of a solution when a base is added?

  • The pH of the solution remains the same.
  • The pH of the solution increases. (correct)
  • The pH of the solution decreases.

    Study Notes

    Acid-Base Definitions

    • A simplified definition of an acid is a substance that donates a hydrogen ion (H+), and a base is a substance that accepts a hydrogen ion (H+).

    Effects of Acids and Bases on Solutions

    • When an acid is added to a solution, the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) increases.
    • When a base is added to a solution, the pH of the solution increases (becomes more alkaline).

    pH Scale

    • The pH scale is a logarithmic scale that measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution.

    Additional Resources

    • Other acid-base definitions can be found in the Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis definitions.

    Phase Transitions

    • Phase transitions occur when a substance changes from one state of matter to another.
    • A phase transition is caused by a change in temperature or pressure.

    Characteristics of Phase Transitions

    • A discontinuous phase transition is an example of a phase transition where the properties of the substance change abruptly, such as the melting of ice.

    Phase Transition Point

    • The phase transition point is the temperature or pressure at which a phase transition occurs.

    States of Matter

    • Plasma is not a state of matter commonly involved in phase transitions.
