Acids Flashcards
Acid
Compounds that release H+ ions in aqueous solution.
Acid examples
HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, CH3COOH
Alkali
Water soluble bases. Release OH- ions into aqueous solutions.
Alkali examples
NaOH, KOH, NH3
Strong acid
An acid that completely dissociates (splits up) in solution.
Weak acid
An acid that partially dissociates in solution.
Base
A substance that can accept H+ ions from another substance.
Neutralisation
A reaction between H+ and OH-, forming water. this may be a reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt.
Titration
A technique used to determine the amount of one solution of a known concentration required to completely react with a known volume of another solution of unknown concentration.
