Acids And Bases Flashcards
1
Q
Bronsted-Lowry acid
A
Proton donors - e.g ammonium ions
2
Q
Bronsted Lowry base
A
Proton acceptor - e.g hydroxide ions
3
Q
Strong acid
A
Dissociate almost completely in water - nearly all the hydrogen ions will be released
4
Q
Weak acids
A
Dissociate only slightly in water - so only a small number of hydrogen ions are formed - an equilibrium is set up which lies well over to the left
5
Q
Strong bases
A
Ionise almost completely in water
6
Q
Weak bases
A
Ionise only slightly in water - just like with weak acids, the equilibrium lies well over to the left
