10.2 Theoretical Acid-Base Definitions Flashcards
Ionization
the formation of ions from uncharged molecules
arrhenius base
an ionic hydroxide that dissociates in water to increase the hydroxide ion concentration
all ionic hydroxides dissociate 100% in water, therefore all Arrhenius bases are considered ______
strong
arrhenius acid
a hydrogen containing substance that dissociates in water to increase the hydrogen ion concentration
acids can be classified as strong or weak based on…
the degree to which they dissociate in water
strong acids almost ________ _______
completely dissociate in water
weak acids will only _______ ________
partially dissociate in water
an acid-base neutralization reaction always produces …
water and a salt
strong acid
acid molecules dissociate greater than 99% in water
weak acid
dissociates only slightly in water
true or false
all weak acid reactions are reversible
true
strong bases
fully ionize in water
weak bases
partially ionize in water
