Acid Base And Salt Handout Flashcards
What is an acid?
A substance that produces H* ion when dissolved in water and acts as a proton donor.
What are the properties of acids?
Acids have pH values below 7, have a sour taste (when edible), and are corrosive.
What do acids produce when added to water?
Positively charged hydrogen ions (H*).
What is the significance of H* ions in a solution?
The presence of H* ions makes a solution acidic.
Provide an example of an acid.
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl).
What happens when acids react with metals?
They form a salt and hydrogen gas.
What is the general reaction formula for acids reacting with metals?
Acid + Metal -> Salt + Hydrogen.
What determines the name of the salt formed from an acid-metal reaction?
It depends on the anion within the acid.
What can act as bases in acid-base reactions?
Metal oxides and metal hydroxides (alkalis).
What occurs during an acid-base neutralization reaction?
Salt and water are produced.
What is the general reaction formula for acids reacting with bases?
Acid + Base -> Salt + Water.
What do acids form when reacting with metal carbonates?
They form a metal salt, carbon dioxide, and water.
What is the general reaction formula for acids reacting with metal carbonates?
Acid + Metal Carbonate -> Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water.
