A solution contains 10 g NaCl dissolved in 90 g water. What is the mass/mass percent of NaCl in the solution?

Accepted Answer

$$11.1\%$$

Question 6

Which of the following best explains why NaCl dissolves in water but not in oil?

Accepted Answer

NaCl is polar and water is polar; oil is nonpolar.

Question 7

A buffer solution contains acetic acid and its conjugate base, acetate. If a small amount of strong acid is added, what happens to the pH?

Accepted Answer

The pH decreases slightly.

Question 8

Which equation is used to calculate the pH of a solution given the hydronium ion concentration?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{pH} = -\log_{10}[	ext{H}_3	ext{O}^+]$$

Question 9

A radioactive isotope has a half-life of 6 hours. If you start with 80 mg, how much remains after 18 hours?

Accepted Answer

$$10\ 	ext{mg}$$

Question 10

Which of the following is a strong acid?

Accepted Answer

Hydrochloric acid ($$	ext{HCl})$$

Question 11

A patient is hyperventilating. According to the buffer equation $$	ext{CO}_2 + 	ext{H}_2	ext{O} ightleftharpoons 	ext{H}_2	ext{CO}_3 ightleftharpoons 	ext{H}^+ + 	ext{HCO}_3^-$$, what happens to blood pH?

Accepted Answer

Blood pH increases (alkalosis).

Question 12

Which of the following is NOT a product of the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide?

Accepted Answer

Hydrogen gas ($$	ext{H}_2)$$

Question 13
