Accepted Answer

3.0

Question 5

If a solution has a pH of 4.0, what is the hydronium ion concentration?

Accepted Answer

$$1.0 	imes 10$$^{-4}$$ M

Question 6

Which of the following materials is most likely to have a pH above 10?

Accepted Answer

Milk of magnesia

Question 7

A titration of 10.0 mL HCl with 20.0 mL of $$5.0 	imes 10$$^{-3}$$ M NaOH reaches the endpoint. What is the molarity of the HCl solution?

Accepted Answer

$$1.0 	imes 10$$^{-2}$$ M
