2b- Reaction Rates, Salts, and Electrolysis Flashcards
What is an acid?
pH less than 7
Form H+ (hydrogen) ions in water
What a base?
A substance with a pH greater than 7
What is an alkali?
A base that dissolves in water
pH over 7
Form OH- (hydroxide) ions in water
What is the neutralisation reaction word equation between acids and bases?
acid + base -> salt + water
What is the neutralisation reaction symbol equation between acids and bases? hint: hydrogen+hydroxide
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) -> H2O
What’s the word equation for the reaction of metals and acids?
Acid + metal -> Salt + Hydrogen
