Let’s go through each question one by one. We’ll use what we know about acids and bases to figure out the right answers.

Question 10:
“Formed when hydrogen ions bond to water (H₂O)”
We know that when an acid dissolves in water, it releases H⁺ ions (hydrogen ions). These H⁺ ions don’t float around alone — they attach to water molecules (H₂O) to form
hydronium ions, which are written as H₃O⁺.
So the correct word is:
hydronium
✔ Answer for #10: hydronium

Question 11:
“Reaction that occurs between a strong acid and base.”
When an acid and a base react, they cancel each other out — this is called
neutralization. The result is usually salt and water.
Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
That’s neutralization!
✔ Answer for #11: Neutralization

Question 12:
“Describes chemicals that ‘eat away’ at other objects.”
This is talking about something that can damage or destroy materials — like how some acids can burn skin or eat through metal. That property is called being
corrosive.
✔ Answer for #12: corrosive

Question 13:
“Changes color in the presence of an acid or base.”
These are special chemicals used to test if something is acidic or basic. For example, litmus paper turns red in acid and blue in base. These are called
indicators.
✔ Answer for #13: Indicator

Question 14:
“Formed when a strong acid and strong base have react.”
Wait — there’s a small typo here (“have react” should be “have reacted”), but we get the idea. When a strong acid and strong base react completely, they make
salt and water. Salt is the product left after neutralization.
✔ Answer for #14: salt

Question 15:
“Bases that are used to neutralize acid in the stomach.”
Your stomach has acid (like HCl) to help digest food. Sometimes you get too much acid — heartburn! To fix that, people take medicines called
antacids. Antacids are bases that safely neutralize extra stomach acid.
✔ Answer for #15: antacid

Final Answer:
10) hydronium
11) Neutralization
12) corrosive
13) Indicator
14) salt
15) antacid
