Acid Base And Salts Flashcards
What is an acid?
Proton donor, produces hydrogen ions in a solution
What does an acid give off when dissolved in water?
H+ ions or H3O+ ions
What taste does an acid have?
Sour
What are properties of acids? (4)
Turns blue litmus paper red
Good conductor of electricity
Corrode Metals
Have a pH less than 7
What is the difference between weak vs. strong acids?
Weak acids:Do not ionize completely
Strong Acids: Ionize completely
What is a base?
Proton acceptor, accepts hydrogen ions. Produces OH- ion.
Properties of bases (2)
React with acid to form salt and water
Are electrolytes
What are acids and bases according to Arrhenius?
Acid adds H+ to aqueous solution
Base adds OH- to aqueous solution
Only hydrogen in polar bonds are ionizable
What is an acid and base compared to Bronsted-Lowry?
Acid donated a proton to another substance
Base accepts a proton from another substance
What is a conjugate acid and conjugate base?
CA: Particle formed when a base gains hydrogen ion
CB: Particle that remains when an acid has donated a hydrogen ion
What is an acid and base according to Lewis?
Acids accept a pair of electrons while bases donate a pair
What happens when acids and bases react with metals?
Acids: Form metal salts and release hydrogen gas
Bases: Release hydrogen gas
