  1. Question 601

    3 marks · Normal

    A student adds hydrochloric acid (HCl), at a concentration of 0.020 mol/dm³, to water. Hydrochloric acid completely dissociates into ions:

    Calculate the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in the solution after the HCl fully dissociates. Explain your reasoning.

    AcidEquation in water
    Acid A
    Acid B
    (a)

    For Acid A, explain what the presence of H^+ ions in solution tells you about the nature of the solution.

    [1 mark]
    (b)

    For Acid B, how many moles of H^+ ions are formed from 1 mole of HB_2?

    [1 mark]
    (c)

    Both Acid A and Acid B are added separately to water to make solutions.

    Describe in terms of ions what occurs in each solution and which property they share.

    [2 marks]
    (d)

    Explain, using one example from above, what is meant by the 'replaceable hydrogen' in acids.

  6. Question 606

    3 marks · Easy

    (a)

    State the colour change you would see when phenolphthalein is used as the indicator and the alkali in the conical flask is just neutralised by the acid from the burette.

    [1 mark]
    (b)

    Give one reason why phenolphthalein is preferred over universal indicator for titrations.
