1. Arrhenius theory of acids and bases: Recalling concept facts and definitions

1. Which is a characteristic of aqueous solution of an acid?
-
1) It conducts electricity 3) It forms OH
2) It turns litmus blue 4) It turns phenolphthalein pink

2. Which is a characteristic of aqueous solution of a base?
1) It turns phenolphthalein pink 3) It turns blue litmus red
2) It does not conduct electricity 3) It reacts with a metal

3. When placed in a basic solution, litmus will turn
1) Red and phenolphthalein colorless 3) blue and phenolphthalein colorless

2) Red and phenolphthalein pink 4) blue and phenolphthalein pink

4. In a solution of acid, litmus will be
1) Red and phenolphthalein colorless 3) blue and phenolphthalein colorless

4) blue and phenolphthalein pink
2) Red and phenolphthalein pink

5. A solution of a base in the presence of an phenolphthalein will
1) Turn pink 3) Turn Red
2) Turn blue 4) Stay colorless

6. Which property is of an acid but not of a base?
1) A solution of an acid is an electrolyte
2) A solution of an acid has effect on acid – base indicators
+
-
3) A solution of an acid contains more H than OH ions
4) A solution of an acid turns litmus blue

7. Which statement describes characteristics of an Arrhenius base?
1) It changes blue litmus to red and has a pH less than 7
2) It changes blue litmus to red and has a pH greater than 7
3) It changes red litmus to blue and has a pH less than 7
4) It changes red litmus to blue and has a pH greater than 7

8. When a solution of an acid is tested with a pH paper, the result will be a pH
1) Above 7, and the solution will conduct electricity
2) Above 7, and the solution will not conduct electricity
3) Below 7, and the solution will conduct electricity
4) Below 7, and the solution will not conduct electricity

9. When a solution of a base is tested with a pH paper, the result will be a pH
1) Above 7, and the solution will conduct electricity
2) Above 7, and the solution will not conduct electricity
3) Below 7, and the solution will conduct electricity
4) Below 7, and the solution will not conduct electricity
