(d) A typical dishwashing detergent is 37.5% sodium metasilicate.

(e) All of the above are true.

 

   3) Which of the following are properties of H2SO4?

(a) dissolves metals

(b) tastes bitter

(c) turns phenolphthalein pink

(d) turns blue litmus paper red

(e) increases the concentration of hydroxide ions

 

   4) Which of the following are properties of H2CO3?

(a) turns blue litmus paper red

(b) releases CO2 from carbonates

(c) tastes sour

(d) feels slippery

(e) causes phenolphthalein to turn pink

 

   5) Which of the following statements is true?

(a) Household cleaners containing basic solutions are more dangerous than those containing acidic solutions.

(b) Ordinary bleach is not available in several European countries due to its toxic properties.

(c) When baking cookies and cakes, baking soda is used to produce pockets of CO2 gas and makes these baked goods rise.

(d) NaOH and KOH are not used as antacids, because they would neutralize too much of your stomach acid and interfere in the digestion of food.

   7) Which of the following statements is true?

(a) NaOH and KOH work well as antacids because they neutralize your stomach acid and aid in the digestion of food.

(b) When gardeners apply CaO to soil, CaO, unlike NaHSO4, does not change the pH of the soil.

(c) When baking cookies and cakes, NaHCO3 is used to produce pockets of O2 gas and makes these baked goods rise.
