acid-base cheistry Flashcards
wt is an arrhenius acid
a substance that produced an H+ when in solutions
What is an arrhenius base
a substance that produces an OH- when in solution in water
What is a bronsted lowry acid
any substance that can donate a proton
What is a bronsted lowry base
any substance that can accept a proton
what can a strong acid do
high abiity to conduct electric current
high ability to dissociate
what are the properties of acids
react with bases
are electrolytes
act on metal to produce H2
properties f bases
rreact with acids
areelectrolytes
describe the leveling effect of water in terms of bases
OH- is the stringest base tat can exist in water. this is because the all of the strig bases react completely in water to produce OH-
why is OH- the strongest base in water?
all of the string bases react completely in water to produce OH-
descrbe the levelling effect of water in terms of acids
H3O is the only acid that can exist in water. This is because all other acids dissociate in water completely to produce H+ which is H3O+
