Q

Weak acid

A

acid that dissociates incompletely, releasing only some of its hydrogen atoms into the solution. less capable on donating protons. pH of less than 7

17
Q

Weak base

A

chemical base that does not ionize fully in an aqueous solution.
which protonation is incomplete. pH of greater than 7

18
Q

Concentrated

A

relatively large quantity of substance present in a unit amount of a mixture. More of solute dissolved in a given solvent.

19
Q

Dilute

A

the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent.

20
Q

Reaction of acid and base

A

React to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. H(+) cation combined with the OH(-) anion to form water. Compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is salt

21
Q

Reaction with acid and metal

A

A salt, i.e. a combination of two ions, is formed; the particular salt formed depends on the acid used in the reaction is formed.

22
Q

Reaction with acid and carbonate

A

Salt is produced.

23
Q

Neutral

A

compound/ substance that is neither acidic nor alkaline
