2. Fill in Any Remaining Blank Spaces for That Compound

Name: ______The following Data Table contains a list of compounds that can be classified as acids, bases, or salts. 1. Decide what type of substance each compound is and fill in the appropriate space in the column. Base your answers on the compound’s formula and on the one piece of information supplied about either its pH or its reaction with an indicator. 2. Fill in any remaining blank spaces for that compound. 3. Remember: Phenolphthalein turns colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. Litmus turning red indicates an acid and litmus turning blue indicates a base. Compound Acid, Base, or Color in Color in Approximate Salt Litmus Phenolphthalein pH H3PO4 red found in some cola beverages Ca(OH)2 above 7 slaked lime used for treating soil CaSO4 about 7 used in plaster of Paris H2CO3 clear produced in human body from metabolism of fats and sugars Na3PO4 no effect used in some water softeners H2S below 7 odor of rotten eggs H2SO3 red component in acid rain Mg(OH)2 blue found in milk of magnesia NH4Cl about 7 used in (slightly below) batteries and dry cells (NH4)2SO4 clear nitrogen fertilizer Hydrocarbons are compounds made up of carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons called alkanes are the simplest hydrocarbons. These compounds are named by using a prefix that tells the number of carbon atoms they contain and the root –ane. Using the chart below, create the correct structural formulas. Prefix Number of Carbon Atoms meth- 1 eth- 2 prop- 3 but- 4 pent- 5 hex- 6 hept- 7 oct- 8 non- 9 dec- 10

1. butane 2. methane

3. propane 4. ethane

5. hexane 6. pentane

7. octane 8. Draw a structural formula with 9 carbons. What would the name be? ______Count the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms and look at the shapes. Then use the charts in your book to figure out what the following structural formulas are called.

3. You should never use taste or touch to identify bases because they can be a. corrosive c. sour b. slippery d. antacids 4. Which ion do bases contain? a. OH- c. H+ b. H3O+ d. NH4+

5. Which pH would indicate a strong acidic solution? a. 7 c. 8 b. 2 d. 14

6. A compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen is called a (an) a. isomer c. carbohydrate b. hydrocarbon d. alcohol

7. The simplest aromatic hydrocarbon is a. cyclohexane c. benzene b. methane d. phenol

8. The –OH group is characteristic of an a. organic acid c. ester b. aromatic compound d. alcohol
