Acid And Base Theories Flashcards
Characteristics of a base
Bitter taste, feels slippery, conductive
Characteristics of an acid
Sour tasting, feel watery, conductive
Arrhenius theory of acids
Acids ionizes to produce hydrogen ions when dissolve in ions
Arrhenius theory of bases
Bases ionizes to produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water
Arrhenius theory acid/base reaction
Acid + base = salt and water
Conjugate base
The acid after the proton is removed
Bronsted theory acid/base reaction
Acid + base = conjugate acid + conjugate base
Conjugate acid
The base after the proton is accepted
Strong acids…
Ionize 100%
Weak acids…
Low percentage of ionization
Binary acid
Hydro
Root name of nonmetal
“Ic acid”
Oxyacid
Hydrogen + poly atomic ion
Poly ending in “ate” change to “ic”
Poly ending in “ite” change to “ous”
