8th Grade

A mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtering is a

Suspension

A neutral solution has a pH of

7

A base (properties of bases)

Does not react with carbonates.

Solutes lower the freezing point of water by.

making it harder for water to form crystals.

A polar solvent will most likely dissolve

polar solute

Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide all produce hydroxide ions in water and are therefore

Bases.

If you add a small amount of hydrochloric acid to 4 liters of water, what type of solution would you expect to have?

Dilute solution

The pH scale

Measures the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Neutralization

Is a reaction between an acid and a base.

The pH in the digestive system is highest in the

Digestion

When a base reacts with an acid, water and a(n) salt forms.

When acids react with carbonate compounds, carbon dioxide forms.

A(n) acid forms hydrogen ions when it dissolves in water.

The solvent is the part of a solution present in the largest amount.

Solutes increase the boiling point of a solvent.
