8 Science Ch 3

Acids, Bases, and Solutions

QuestionAnswer
How is a solute different from a solvent in a solution? the solute is present in a smaller amount
What is one way to increase the solubility of sugar in water? heat the water
How would a solute affect the boiling point of water? the water will boil at a higher temperature
Acids are described as corrosive because they "eat away" at other materials
A measure of how well a solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature is that substance's solubility
In water, bases form hydroxide ions
Which is a characteristic property of acids: they taste bitter; they turn blue litmus paper red? they turn blue litmus paper red
What does a neutralization reaction produce? water and a salt
When a solute is added to a solvent, the freezing point of the solution is lower than the freezing point of either substance alone
Which is a likely use for a base? making soaps and detergents
When you add so much solute that no more dissolves, you have a saturated solution
In a water solution, how to acids differ from bases? acids form hydrogen ions (H+), while bases form hydroxide ions (OH-)
A liquid mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration is a suspension
How can a scientist safely tell whether an unknown solution is salt in water or sugar in water? by testing the electrical conductivity of the solution
How does chemical digestion differ from mechanical digestion? chemical digestion requires enzymes
Weak tea is an example of a dilute solution
A mixture containing particles that are too small to be seen easily but are large enough to scatter a light beam is called a colloid
Neutralization is a reaction between an acid and a base
You can find the pH of a substance by using litmus indicator
Acids naturally present in food are safe to eat because they usually are weak
When a few spoonfuls of sugar are mixed into a cup of water, sugar is the solute
How is pH important during digestion? different enzymes work best at different pH values
If two unidentified solids of the same texture and color have different solubilities in 100 grams of water at 20*C, you could conclude that they are different substances
The process that breaks down complex molecules of food into smaller particles is called digestion
When a solid compound dissolves in water, each of its particles becomes surrounded by water molecules
If you have a solution of a strong acid and a solution of a weak acid of equal concentration and volume, then the strong acid will have a higher pH
What does it mean if a compound has a solubility of 15 g in 100 g of water at 0*C? 15 g of the compound will dissolve in 100 g of water at 0*C
The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions
Compared to the pH of saliva, the pH of stomach juices is lower
Normal rainfall is slightly acidic, which means its pH must be between 5 and 7
The organ with the most acidic contents in the digestive system is the________ stomach
In a reaction of an acid with a base, the pH changes to a value that is closer to ______ seven
Substances that form hydrogen ions when released in water are called ________ acids
When a solution forms, particles of a solute ______ and become surrounded by particles of the solvent separate
Chemical digestion happens with the help of ______ that are sensitive to pH enzymes
Ionic and polar compounds ______ dissolve in water because water molecules are polar. dissolve
When the pH is high, the concentration of hydrogen ions is _______. low
An ______ is a compound that tastes sour and reacts with some metals. acid
A _____ is a compound that turns litmus blue and is often found in soaps and detergents. base
Because it will dissolve so many solutes, _____ is sometmes called the universal solvent. water
If you can continue to add more solute to a solution, the solution is said to be unsaturated
_______ digestion tears, grinds, and mashes large food particles into smaller particles Mechanical
Digestion breaks down ______ into simpler substances that your body can use for raw materials and energy. foods
Acids are __________ which means that they "eat away" at other materials. corrosive
A ______ is an ionic compound produced from the neutralization of an acid with a base. salt
_______ solids break up into individual neutral particles when dissolved in a solvent. Molecular
A _______ is a mixture that appears uniform throughout and whose particles cannot easily be separated. solution
At the same concentrations, strong acids produce more _________ than weak acids. hydrogen ions
Acids and bases have many uses around the ______ and in industry home
The presence of a solute makes it harder for solvent molecules to escape when heated, so the boiling point of a solution is ______ than that of the pure solvent. higher
Because solubility is a characteristic property of matter, it can be used to help identify a substance
Among the factors that affect the solubility of a substance are type of solvent, pressure, and TEMPERATURE
_________ is the process of breaking down complex molecules of foods into smaller molecules Digestion
_______ form hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. Acids
Bases feel slippery and taste _______. bitter.
The particles in a suspension are larger than the particles in a solution and can be seen easily.
A substance that is present in a solution in a smaller amount and is dissolved by the solvent is called the solute
A _____ is a mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated. suspension
Adding a solute to a solvent will (raise/lower) the freezing point of the solvent. lower
The products of a neutralization reaction are water and a salt
