acids and bases Flashcards
Arrhenius’ acid
a substance that dissociates in water to produce H+ ions
Arrhenius’ bases
a substance that dissociates in water to produce OH- ions
Arrhenius strong acid
a substance that dissociates completely in water to give hydrogen ions
Arrhenius weak acid
a substance that only slightly dissociates in water to give hydrogen ions
Arrhenius strong base
a substance that dissociates completely in water to give hydroxide ions
Arrhenius weak base
a substance that only slightly dissociates in water to give hydrxoide ions
Brønsted–Lowry acid
a proton donor
Brønsted–Lowry base
a proton acceptor
Brønsted–Lowry strong acid
a good proton donor
Brønsted–Lowry weak acid
a poor proton donor
Brønsted–Lowry strong base
a good proton acceptor
Brønsted–Lowry weak base
a weak proton acceptor
neutralisation
a reaction between an acid and base to form a salt and water
salt
the substance formed when the hydrogen ion from an acid is replaced by a metal or an ammonium ion
conjugate acid
a base when it accepts a proton
