acid and bases - chem 20 Flashcards
1
Q
Acid Properties when dissolved in water
A
- conduct electricity
- change blue litmus to red
- have pH less than 7
- sour taste
- react with bases to neutralize their properties
- react with active metals to release hydrogen
2
Q
Base properties when dissolved in water
A
- conduct electricity
- pH more than 7
- have slippery feeling
- bitter taste
- react with acids to neutralize their properties
3
Q
Acids are strong if they fully…
A
ionize
4
Q
Bases are strong if they fully …
A
dissociate
5
Q
6 strong acids
A
- HClO4
- HCl
- HBr
- HI
- HNO3
- H2SO4
6
Q
6 strong bases
A
- metal hydroxides in 1A and 2A will form stong bases in water most common: -NaOH -Ba(OH)2 -KOH -Sr(OH)2 -LiOH -Cs(OH)2
7
Q
Non-Metal Oxides
A
- molecular compound, usually a gas
- do not dissociate but will dissolve in water
8
Q
The more hydronium there is …
A
the lower the pH, meaning acid
9
Q
Weak Base properties
A
- bases that do not contain OH, but form it with the reaction with water
- react incompletely <50%
- medium to high pH
- low conductivity
- slower reaction with organic compounds
10
Q
Strong Base Properties
A
- very high pH
- high conductivity
- fast reaction with organic compounds
- completely dissociate to form OH
11
Q
Weak Acid Properties
A
- medium to low pH
- low conductivity
- lower reaction rate with metals since there is less hydronium
- partially ionize to form H3O+
- <50%
12
Q
Strong Acid Properties
A
- very low pH
- high conductivity
- fast reaction rate with metals
- completely ionize ( react with water to form hydronium )
13
Q
monoprotic acids
A
- contain only one hydrogen that will react with water to form H3O+
14
Q
polyprotic acids
A
-polyprotic acids contain more than one hydrogen that can react with water to form H3O+
15
Q
how does an indicator change colour
A
- when am indicator loses or gains a hydrogen, it changes the shape of the molecule which reflects the light differently
