What is a base? - correct answers✔✔solution has an excess of hydroxyl ions (OH-)
What is neutralization? - correct answers✔✔-process where acid and base are mixed
until they become neutral and the PH is 7.
What are the two products of a neutralization chemical reaction? - correct
answers✔✔water and salt ( The type of salt depends on acid or base added to
neutralize.)
What is a weak acid? - correct answers✔✔an acid that only partially ionizes in an
aqueous solution. This means that not every molecule breaks apart.
pH - correct answers✔✔is a measurement of how acidic or how basic a solution is.
Why is pH important to biology? - correct answers✔✔Cells survive in a specific pH
range.
Human blood is maintain at 7pH for homostasis.
The stomach has acids to break down food.
Bile from the liver is a base which breaks down fats & grease.
What is a buffer? - correct answers✔✔a substance to help to neutralize/balance pH
levels.
What are pH indicators? - correct answers✔✔They are used to tell you the pH value.
Examples are phenalphelein and bromthymol blue.

What is the main neutral substance? - correct answers✔✔water
How is a salt chemically formed? - correct answers✔✔When you add acid or base to
neutralize a solution the products formed are water and salts.
A change in pH units represents a tenfold change in the acidity of the solution
(logarithmic scale). If one solution has a pH of 1 and a second solution has a pH of
2, the first solution is not twice as acidic a the second it is ______times more acidic. -
correct answers✔✔ten (logarithmic)
What is a pH scale? - correct answers✔✔a logarithmic scale that indicates the pH of
a solution. It ranges from 0 - 14.
On the pH scale, what numbers represent an acid? - correct answers✔✔0-6
On the pH scale, what numbers represent a base? - correct answers✔✔8-14
On the pH scale, what number represents a neutral solution? - correct answers✔✔7
,What is a weak acid? - correct answers✔✔An acid that only partially ionizes (breaks
down) in a solution. Weak acids are close to 7pH
What is a weak base? - correct answers✔✔A weak base will only parttally ionize in a
solution. This means that not every molecule breaks apart.
What is a chemical change? - correct answers✔✔When a change in composition
occurs giving new substances with new properties.
Example when wood changes to carbon. Wood and carbon do not have similar
properties.
WHat is a physical change? - correct answers✔✔When a change does NOT change
the composition.
What are indicators of a chemical change? - correct answers✔✔Observations such
as what you see( color change, precipitant (solids in solutions)
Hear-boom Smell Taste-sour/sweet Feel-hot or cold.
Also, bubbles indicate gas..
What is the law of conservation of mass? - correct answers✔✔Mass is not created
nor destroyed.
What is a chemical formula? - correct answers✔✔-chemical symbols represent
