Explanation / Answer

1) The name of HClO is hypochlorous acid - Cl with +1 oxidation state

Reason: For ' Cl ' four possible positive oxidation states

2) Bronsted Acid is Proton Donor

3) The water ionisation constant Kw = [H3O+] [OH-] = (1 X 10-7) x (1x 10-7) = 1x 10-14 M

Therfore if  [OH-] = (1x 10-12)

then   [H3O+]= 1x 10-2 M

4. What is the [OH- ] in a solution that has a [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-6 M

Similar to previous one.

[OH- ] = 1.0 x 10-8 M

5) The [H3O+] of a solution with pH = 2.0 has a concentration of ________.

pH = -log [H3O+]

therefore, [H3O+] = 10-pH

   = 10-2 M

6) Which of the following is the strongest acid?

Ans. a. H3PO4

because it is ready to donate proton due to resonance stabilisation.

7) Which of the following is correctly identified?

Ans: b. NaOH, strong base

Because

a. NH3, weak base c. HCl, strong acid d. H2CO3, weak acid

8) Ammonia is a weak base because

it produces few hydroxide ions in water.

9) Which of the following is a neutralization reaction?

Ans : HNO3 + KOH ? H2O + KNO3

only This reaction involves acid and base

10) Which of the following is a buffer system?

Ans:  H2CO3 and KHCO3

Buffer solution : mixture of weak acid and its corresponding salt.

Oxidation state prefix - suffix (while naming acid) +1 hypo - ous( acid) +3 no prefix - ous (  acid) +5 no prefix -ic (  acid) +7 per -ic (  acid)
