Acidic and basic solutions have distinct physical and chemical properties. For chemistry courses, especially those with a laboratory component, it is important that you be able to distinguish these properties. It is also important that you be able to recognize an acid or a base by its chemical formula.
Part A
Classify each of the following as a property of acids or base
1. dissolve many metals
2. turn litmus paper red
3. feel slippery
4. turn litmus paper blue
5. taste bitter
6. taste sour
PART B:
Classify each substance as a strong acid, strong base, weak acid, or weak base.
1. H2SO4 2. HI 3. C6H5COOH 4. CH3COOH 5. Ba(OH)2 6. NaOH 7. NH3 8. Sr(OH)2 9. (CH3)2NH 10. H3PO4 11. LiOH 12. HNO3 13. H2SO3 14. HCI
