Acids and Bases Assessment Guide

This document contains a chemistry assessment with questions about acids and bases. It asks the student to: 1. Underline bases in a list and properties of soluble bases. 2. Describe a method to obtain a pure dry sample of lead (II) chloride. 3. Explain that aspirin is soluble in hot water and turns litmus blue. Its solution will release CO2 when reacted with baking soda. It also asks the student to identify what ion causes the color change in litmus, suggest the pH of an aspirin solution as a weak acid, and predict and write the ionic equation for the reaction of calcium carbonate added to an aspirin solution. 4.
