Lila tests the pH of 4 solutions. Which solution should she identify as being a base? SOLUTION pH A 2 B 5 C 7 D 9(1 point) Responses Solution C Solution C Solution D Solution D Solution B Solution B Solution A Solution A Skip to navigation page 8 of 8

9 answers

To identify which solution is a base, we look at the pH scale. A pH of 7 is neutral, pH values less than 7 are acidic, and pH values greater than 7 are considered basic (or alkaline).

Given the pH values of the solutions:

  • Solution A: pH 2 (acidic)
  • Solution B: pH 5 (acidic)
  • Solution C: pH 7 (neutral)
  • Solution D: pH 9 (basic)

The solution that Lila should identify as being a base is Solution D with a pH of 9.

Question What is formed when a hydrogen ion interacts with a water molecule?(1 point) Responses salt salt base base hydroxide ion hydroxide ion hydronium ion hydronium ion

When a hydrogen ion (H⁺) interacts with a water molecule (H₂O), it forms a hydronium ion (H₃O⁺).

So the correct response is: hydronium ion.

Which of the following is a property of bases?(1 point) Responses feels slippery feels slippery pH less than 7 pH less than 7 sour taste sour taste releases hydrogen ions in water

The property of bases among the options provided is that they feel slippery.

  • Bases typically have a slippery or soapy feel when touched.
  • A pH less than 7 is characteristic of acids, not bases.
  • Bases generally do not have a sour taste; that is characteristic of acids.
  • Bases do not release hydrogen ions in water; they typically release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) instead.

So the correct response is: feels slippery.

Identify the common household item that is acidic.(1 point) Responses shampoo shampoo baking soda baking soda vinegar vinegar detergent

The common household item that is acidic among the options provided is vinegar.

Vinegar contains acetic acid, which gives it its acidic properties.

So the correct response is: vinegar.

Which of the following items is a salt?(1 point) Responses calcium carbonate calcium carbonate antacid antacid carbonic acid carbonic acid sodium hydroxide

The item that is a salt among the options provided is calcium carbonate.

Calcium carbonate is a salt formed from the reaction of an acid (carbonic acid) and a base (calcium hydroxide).

So the correct response is: calcium carbonate.
