15.3 Science Flashcards
any ionic compound that does not contain a hydrogen ion (H+) or hydroxide ion (OH-)
salt
Acids generally…
Have a sour taste.
Cause litmus to turn red.
Bases generally…
Are slippery to the touch.
Have a bitter taste.
Cause litmus to turn blue.
any substance that produces hydrogen cation (H+) when dissolved in aqueous (water) solution
acid
any substance that produces hydroxide anions (OH-) in aqueous solution
base
substances that are neither acids nor bases; a neutral substance does not produce H+ or OH- when dissolved in water
neutral
H3O+ ion, formed by H+ ions attaching themselves to water in an aqueous solution
hydronium
completely dissociate to form hydronium ions and another ion
strong acids
only partially dissociate to form ions
weak acids
bases that completely dissociate or react to form hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in aqueous solutions
strong bases
only partially ionize in solution to produce hydroxide ions
weak bases
a reaction that occurs when a strong acid reacts with a strong base
neutralization reaction
a scale that indirectly represents hydronium concentration using powers of 10
pH scale
