Questions and Answers

What is the function of the pH scale?

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic, and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are alkaline.

What are the names given to a solution with a pH of 7, a pH between 0 and 6.99, and a pH between 7.01 and 14?

A pH of 7 is considered neutral. A pH between 0 and 6.99 is acidic, and a pH between 7.01 and 14 is basic.

What lab material is used to measure pH?

  • pH paper, pH meter, paper tournesol (correct)
  • pH paper, paper tournesol
  • pH meter
  • What does temperature measure?

    <p>Temperature measures the degree of agitation (or movement) of particles. The higher the agitation, the higher the temperature.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    How is solubility defined?

    <p>Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a certain volume of solvent at a temperature.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What are the relationships between concentration and solubility and what does this mean?

    <p>If the concentration of a solute is greater than the solubility of the solvent, not all of the solute will dissolve, and a residue will remain. If the concentration of a solute is less than the solubility of the solvent, all of the solute will dissolve.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    Scientific Method

    • How to write a hypothesis?

      • If (statement on what will happen)... then (what will happen), because... (reason).
    • How to write a protocol?

      1. Precise description of steps
      2. Numbered steps
      3. Steps begin with infinitive verbs
    • What is the difference between independent, dependent, and controlled variables?

      • Independent: The variable that affects the outcome.
      • Dependent: The variable that is measured during the experiment
      • Controlled: Maintaining constant conditions.
    • How to create and complete a results table?

      • Independent variable in the first column.
      • Dependent variable in the second column.
      • Include labels and units.

    Properties of Matter

    • What are the three states of matter?
      • Solid: Particles are tightly packed, definite shape and volume.
      • Liquid: Particles flow around each other, definite volume & changing shape.
      • Gas: Particles go anywhere, changing volume and shape.
