1 of 9
What is an example of a tri-basic acid?
H3PO4
2 of 9
What does H3O+ represent in an acid-base pair equation?
H+ ions.
3 of 9
What is pH?
-log(H+)
4 of 9
What do strong acids do that weak acids don't do fully?
Dissociate
5 of 9
What is the units of Ka? (acid dissociation constant)
mol dm-3
6 of 9
What assumption is made concerning [HA] in finding Ka?
[HA] remains unchanged.
7 of 9
What would a small Ka value indicate?
little dissociation and so, a weak acid

Question 2? A di basic acid can...? and then the options are true or false... dont think that works! just some con crit :)

Thanks, didn't even notice I'd done it :)

For question 9 I think it might be better if you specify 'for a buffer solution', because the equation for [H+] will be different depending on what type of solution it is (strong acid, weak acid solution etc), meaning that question could be true or false. Just a suggestion :)
