Acids and Bases Flashcards
Do bases produce alkaline solutions
only when soluble
Define the bases
Metal oxides
metal hydroxides
Metal carbonates
Non-metal oxide + water =__________________
acidic solution (eg sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide)
base + acid =
salt + water + (CO2)
^only when the base is a metal
carbonate
What does an acidic solution have more of?

What does a neutral solution have?
equal H and OH ions
