Acids Flashcards
Acids are substances that..
Dissociate in water releasing HYDROGEN IONS (H+(aq))
Sulfuric acid
H2SO4
Nitric acid
HNO3
Hydrochloric
HCl
Ethanoic
CH3COOH
A LOW PH means…
A HIGH concentration of hydrogen ions
A concentrated acid contains
Large amounts of dissolved solute per litre of solution
A dilute acid contains
A small amount of dissolved solute per litre of solution
Concentration ( g dm^-3) equation
Mass of solute (g) divided by volume of solution (dm^3)
Strong acid features
Releases all its hydrogen ions when it dissolves
The molecules dissociate completely and separate into ions
Weak acid features
Only releases some of it shyrdrogen ions
Only some of the molecules dissociate into ions
PH changes how with acids
Goes down/up 1 every time the difference in concentration is x or / by 10
