Question 2

What did you include in your question? Check all that apply.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

focuses on the pH scale; suggests a way to measure how acidic or basic a solution can be; allows for observations and an opportunity to look at pH quantitatively and qualitatively

Question 3

If Beaker #2 is a 1% solution of Y, and Beaker #3 is 1/100th of that in the final solution, what percentage solution would Beaker #3 be?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

0.01% bleach

Question 4

Does taking 1 mL of solution Y (pure bleach) out of the first beaker change the solution’s concentration?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

no

Question 5

How would you best describe the red or pink solutions labeled “2-4”?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

acidic

Question 6

Which statements are part of the safety protocol for this lab experiment? Check all that apply.Behavior in the lab needs to be purposeful. Exercise caution when using the hot plate, as it can cause burns.Ice used in this lab can melt quickly. Be sure to insulate your containers.Label your glassware and paper cups clearly and appropriately. Many chemicals appear to be the same.Check glassware, such as beakers and test tubes, for cracks and chips prior to use.A fume hood should be used to collect any potentially harmful vapors.Wear the right gear, such as chemically resistant gloves and oven mitts, when performing the experiment.

Question 7

What did you include in your hypothesis? Check all that apply.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

The “if” part of your hypothesis refers to the physical characteristics of the solution.; The “then” part of your hypothesis refers to a measureable difference in pH.; The “because” portion of your hypothesis connects the ideas of pH and H+ concentration.
