CHAPTER 7 : ACID AND BASE SECTION A: Common Mistake Made By The Candidates

Common mistakes (Acids & Bases)

X
+ 3 +

Hydrogen ions, H , and hydroxonium ions, H O , are not the same.

+ 3 +

Hydrogen ions, H , and hydroxonium ions, H O , are similar. They enable acidic solutions to show acidic properties.
-

All bases contain the hydroxide ion, OH

2

Not all bases contain the hydroxide ion, OH . For example, sodium oxide, Na O does not hydroxide ions.

A base and an alkali are similar. An alkali are bases but not all bases are alkalis. Soluble bases dissolve in water to form alkalis.

Dry ethanoic acid, CH COOH, shows acidic properties.

3

Dry ethanoic acid, CH COOH, does not show acidic properties. Dry ethanoic acid,
3

CH COOH, exists as molecules.

X

The higher the molarity of an acid, the higher is the pH value. The higher the molarity of an acid, the lower is the pH value. An acid with high molarity must be a strong acid.
-3

An acid with high molarity not necessarily is a strong acid. For example, 10 mol dm of ethanoic acid, is a weak acid.

Mole and molarity are the same. A mole is a unit for the amount of matter. The molarity is the number of moles of the solute in
3

1 dm of its solution.

The titration between an acidic solution and any base, such as solid copper(II) hydroxide,

Cu(OH) , can be done.

Titration method can only be carried out between acidic solutions and alkaline solutions.
