Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the difference between a weak acid and a strong acid?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when each is mixed with water.

Question 2

Easy

Given a weak acid with Ka = 1.0 x 10⁻⁷ and Cβ‚€ = 0.1 M, find x.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the approximation for weak acids.

Question 1

What does the term Ka represent?

  • Base dissociation constant
  • Acid dissociation constant
  • Equilibrium constant

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about its relationship to weak acid behavior.

Question 2

True or False: Weak acids fully dissociate in water.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how strong acids behave.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a 0.15 M formic acid solution with a Ka of 1.8 x 10⁻⁴, calculate the pH.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Bear in mind the approximation principles we've discussed.

Question 2

If we have a weak base solution of sodium bicarbonate at 0.1 M, find the pH knowing Kb is 2.3 x 10⁻⁸.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to apply Kb for weak bases similarly to Ka for weak acids.
