Acid And Base Flashcards
What is an acid
an aqueous solution that conducts electricity, tastes sour, turns blue litmus
red, and neutralizes bases
What do acids do in soloutions
Create hydrogen ions
Properties of acids
conduct electricity when dissolve in water.
•Corrosive to skin when concentrated,
•turn blue litmus red,
•neutralize bases
•taste sour
How do you name acids
When the chemical formula of an acid starts with H and has only one other non-metallic element, it is named by adding the prefix “hydro” and the suffix “ic” and the word “acid
How to name acids with polyatomic ions
If the polyatomic ion ends in “ate” add the suffix “ic” and the word acid.
b) If the polyatomic ion ends in “ite” add the suffix “ous” and the word acid.
What is a base
an aqueous solution that conducts
electricity and turns red litmus blue
What do bases do in soloutions
Release hydroxide ions
What do bases do in soloution
Create hydroxide ions
Properties of bases
•bases conduct electricity
•Corrosive to skin when concentrated
•change the colour of acid−base indicators
•bases feel slippery
•and taste bitter.
How do you name bases
The name of a base can be determined from the name of the positively charged metallic ion or polyatomic ion at the beginning and then adding the word “hydroxide”.
What do you get with acid and a reactive metal in reactoon
Hydrogen and salt
Reaction of acid and carbonate
Salt co2 h2o
Reaction of acid and metal hydroxide
Salt water
