Acids and Bases Flashcards
Properties of acids:
- Molecular compounds with H+ dissolved in water
- pH is <7
- Reacts with bases
- Tastes sour
- Turns blue litmus paper red
- Electrolyte
- Ionizes
Properties of bases:
- Compounds with OH- when dissolved in water
- pH is >7
- Doesn’t react with metals
- Feels slippery
- Tastes bitter
- Turns red litmus paper blue
- Electrolyte
- Dissacociates
Aqueous hydrogen _ide =
hydro _ic acid
Aqueous hydrogen _ate =

Aqueous hydrogen _ite =
_ous acid
When do you use “ide”?
Group 17 elements (hydro _ic acid)
When do you use “ate”?
Polyatomic compounds (_ic acid)
When do you use “ite”?
Polyatomic compounds (_ous acid)

Neutralization:
Occurs between an acid and a base. Produces salt and water.
What is considered salt in regards to neutralization?
A neutral ionic compound.
Neutral molecular:
Doesn’t dissociate, non-electrolyte, no effect on litmus, pH = 7
Neutral ionic:
Dissociates into ions, electrolyte, no effect on litmus, pH = 7
