3.3 acids and bases Flashcards
1
Q
how are hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions formed
A
during a hydrogen bond, a hydrogen atom shifts from one molecule to another leaving its electron behind forming (H+) and (OH-)
2
Q
when the H+ binds to another water molecule, a ___ is formed
A
hydronium ion (H3O+)
3
Q
hydronium reaction
A
4
Q
how does the pH scale work
A
in water, the (H+) and (OH-) concentrations is equal.
when acids and bases are added, it changed the concentrations
