acids and bases Flashcards
the pH scale measures how
acidic or alkali something is
acids have
more H+ ions compared to OH- ions
alkalis have
more OH- ions compared to H+ ions
a neutral substance has
equal concentrations of H+ ions and OH- ions
non metal oxides disolve to give
an acid solution
metal oxides dissolve to give
an alkali solution
a base is
anything that neutralises an acid
an alkali is
a soluble base
a solution of accurelty known concentration
a standard solution
common acids
hydrocholoric - HCl
sulfuric acid - H2SO4
nitric acid - HNO3
metal + acid _>
hydrogen and salt
metal oxide + acid ->
water + salt
metal hydrcoxide + acid ->
water + salt
metal carbonate + acid –>
water + salt + carbon dioxide
define a neutralisation reaction
when ana cid and base react together to produce water and salt
