B) A conjugate base is the species formed when an acid accepts a proton; a conjugate acid is the species formed when a base donates a proton.

C) A conjugate acid is the species formed when an acid donates a proton; a conjugate base is the species formed when a base accepts a proton.

D) A conjugate acid is an acid that does not completely transfer a proton to water; a conjugate base is a base that does not completely accept a proton from water.

E) A conjugate acid is the solution formed when an acid is added to water; a conjugate base is the solution formed when a base is added to water.

 

3.Which statement concerning the relative strength of acids is FALSE?

A) Strong and weak acids differ in their extent of proton transfer to water.

C) A strong acid completely transfers its protons to water; a weak acid only partially transfers its protons to water.

D) Strong acids produce strong conjugate bases; weak acids produce weak conjugate bases.

E) A strong acid produces more hydronium ions in water than a weak acid of the same concentration.

 

4.Which of the following best represents the autoionization, or self-ionization, of water?

A) H2O(l) ??H+(aq) ????−(aq)

B) 2H2O(l)    2H2(aq) + O2(aq)

E) H+(aq) ????−(aq) ??H2O(l)

 

5.Which of the following correctly describes what is meant by the term neutralization?

A) the gain of electrons to form an uncharged species

B) the loss of electrons to form an uncharged species

C) the reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water

D) the transfer of electrons from an acid to a base

C) The solution has been diluted by the addition of solvent.

D) The solution resists large changes in pH when small amounts of acids or bases are added.

E) The solution maintains a constant pH value; no amount of added acid or base can change the pH.
