Compare the pH value of 1.0 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid and 1.
0 mol dm-3 ethanoic acid and explain your answer. [4M]
. pH value of hydrochloric acid is ....................................... than ethanoic acid.
. Hydrochloric acid is a ....................................... acid while ethanoic acid is a ........................................ acid.
. Hydrochloric acid ionises in water to produce ............................ concentration of H + ions while ethanoic acid ionises
.......................................
+
........................................ in water to produce .............................. concentration of H ions.
. The ........................................ the concentration of H + ions, the ................................................. the pH value.
Set 1 : Dry blue litmus paper is used to test ethanoic acid in solvent X, no change.
Set 2 : Dry blue litmus paper is used to test ethanoic acid in solvent Y, blue litmus paper turns red.
Suggest solvent X and solvent Y [2M]
. solvent X is ..................................................................................... and solvent Y is ........................................
Explain the observations above [2M]
. ethanoic acid in ............................................. ionises to produce .................................................. ions to turns blue litmus paper to red.
. ethanoic acid in .............................................................................. contains .................................................. only.
Suggest a named acid and give its function [2M]
. Lime/limestone/slaked lime/quick lime : to reduce the ......................................................... of the soil.
. Vinegar : to cure sting. .......................................
. Baking powder : to cure sting. .......................................
. Magnesium hydroxide : to neutralise the .............................................................. acid in the stomach.
. Ammonia : to prevent the coagulation of . ..................................
. Methanoic acid/ethanoic acid : to coagulate the ........................................... .
50 cm3 of 0.1 mol dm-3 nitric acid is used to neutralise 50 cm3 of 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide solution completely.
If the experiment is repeated by using sulphuric of same concentration, predict the volume of sulphuric acid needed
to neutralise the same alkali [1M]
