    Acid and Base Worksheet

    1) Using your knowledge of the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases,


    write equations for the following acid-base reactions and indicate each
    conjugate acid-base pair:
    a) HNO3 + OH- 

    b) CH3NH2 + H2O 

    c) OH- + HPO4-2 

    2) The compound NaOH is a base by all three of the theories we discussed


    in class. However, each of the three theories describes what a base is in
    different terms. Use your knowledge of these three theories to describe
    NaOH as an Arrhenius base, a Brønsted-Lowry base, and a Lewis base.

    3) When hydrogen chloride reacts with ammonia, ammonium chloride is


    formed. Write the equation for this process, and indicate which of the
    reagents is the Lewis acid and which is the Lewis base.

    acid.

    5) Determine the pH for the following acids and bases:

    a) 1.0 x10-6 M HCl

    b) 5.0x 10-5 M HNO3

    c) 1 x 10-3 M NaOH

    d) 3.0x 10-2 M KOH

    6) Write the names for the following acids and bases:


    a) KOH ____________________________________

    b) H2Se ____________________________________

    c) C2H3O2H ____________________________________

    d) Fe(OH)2 ____________________________________

    e) HCN ____________________________________

    Acid and Base Worksheet - Answers
    1) Using your knowledge of the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases,
    write equations for the following acid-base reactions and indicate each
    conjugate acid-base pair:
    a) HNO3 + OH-  H2O + NO3-
    HNO3 and NO3- make one pair
    OH- and H2O make the other

    b) CH3NH2 + H2O  CH3NH3+ + OH-


    CH3NH2 and CH3NH3+ make one pair
    OH- and H2O make the other

    c) OH- + HPO4-2  H2O + PO4-3


    HPO4-2 and PO4-3 make one pair
    OH- and H2O make the other

    2) The compound NaOH is a base by all three of the theories we discussed


    in class. However, each of the three theories describes what a base is in
    different terms. Use your knowledge of these three theories to describe
    NaOH as an Arrhenius base, a Brønsted-Lowry base, and a Lewis base.
     NaOH is an Arrhenius base because it creates OH - ions when
    placed in water.
     NaOH is a Brønsted-Lowry base because it accepts H + ions from
    acids.
     NaOH is a Lewis base because the lone pairs on the hydroxide
    ion can be donated to other compounds.

    3) When hydrogen chloride reacts with ammonia, ammonium chloride is


    formed. Write the equation for this process, and indicate which of the
    reagents is the Lewis acid and which is the Lewis base.
    HCl + NH3  NH4Cl
    NH3 is a Lewis base because it uses its lone pair electrons to pull a
    hydrogen atom from hydrochloric acid.
    HCl is a Lewis acid because it accepts electrons from NH 3 when the
    H is transferred.

    4) Write an equation for the reaction of potassium metal with hydrochloric
    acid.
    2 K + 2 HCl  2 KCl + H2

    5) Borane (BH3) is a basic compound, but doesn’t conduct electricity when


    you dissolve it in water. Explain this, based on the definitions of acids and
    bases that we discussed in class.
    Borane is a Lewis base, but a negligibly strong Brønsted-Lowry
    base.

    6) Write the names for the following acids and bases:


    a) KOH potassium hydroxide

    b) H2Se hydroselenic acid

    c) C2H3O2H acetic acid

    d) Fe(OH)2 iron(II) hydroxide

    e) HCN hydrogen cyanide or hydrocyanic acid

    7) Write the formulas for the following chemical compounds (remember,


    you’ve still got a pop quiz coming up before the end of next week!)

    a) ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4

    b) cobalt (III) nitride CoN

    c) carbon disulfide CS2

    d) aluminum carbonate Al2(CO3)3

    e) chlorine Cl2
