The characteristic properties of acids and bases — practice question

Four different acids are described below. • Hydrochloric acid at a concentration of $0.0100\ \text{mol dm}^{-3}$ has a pH of $2$. • Ethanoic acid at a concentration of $0.0100\ \text{mol dm}^{-3}$ has a pH of $3.4$. • Hydrobromic acid, HBr, is a strong acid. • Ethanoic acid is a slightly stronger acid than trimethylethanoic acid. State the pH values for $0.0100\ \text{mol dm}^{-3}$ HBr and $0.0100\ \text{mol dm}^{-3}$ trimethylethanoic acid.

  • ApH $2$ and $3.3$
  • BpH $2$ and $3.5$
  • CpH $3.4$ and $3.3$
  • DpH $3.4$ and $3.5$
