Acids Alkali's Bases Flashcards
What does an acid produce in water
H+ ions
What do alkalis produce in water
OH- ions
What are bases
Bases are the soluble and insoluble substances that react with acids in a netralisation reaction to form a salt+water,Metal Carbonates and Oxides
What are 2 examples of alkalis
Metal hydroxide and ammonia
What are alkalis
Soluble bases
What is a Neutral pH
A pH of 7
What is 1 on the pH scale classed as,acid or alkali
Acid
What is 9 on the pH scale classed as,Acid or Alkali
Alkali
Is the reaction quicker or slower the more reactive a metal is
Quicker the more reactive a metal is
What determines whether an acid is weak or strong
Whether or not it fully dissociates in water
What acid fully dissociates in water,strong or weak
Strong
Does a weak acid fully dissacociate in water
No it is a reversible reaction
Is the strength of an acid the same as acid concentration?
No
What does the concentration of an acid mean
It’s a measure of the number of H+ ions in the solution
Do concentrated acids have their molucules mixed with lots of water
No they have little to no water molecules mixed in
