Acids Flashcards
1
Q
what can strong acids do
A
fully ionise (completely dissociate)
2
Q
give an equation to show a strong acid
A
HCl –> H(+) + Cl(-)
3
Q
define concentrated acid
A
contain a high population of H+ ions in a given volume
4
Q
define dilute acid
A
contain a low population of H+ ions in a given volume
5
Q
what happens to weak acids
A
do not fully dissociate
6
Q
what do alkalis release
A
release OH- ions
7
Q
what happens when an acid and base react
A
produce salt and water
8
Q
define acid
A
proton donor/ releases H+ ions in aqueous solutions
9
Q
define alkali
A
releases OH- ions in aqueous solution
10
Q
define base
A
accepts H+ ions
