Acids and Bases

Question 1

Acid

Answer 1

Molecule or ion capable of donating H+ ions/proton to a base

Question 2

Base

Answer 2

Molecule or ion capable of accepting H+ ions/proton from an acid. Disassociates in water to yield -OH

Question 3

Monoprotic Acid

Answer 3

Acid molecule that produces only 1 hydronium (H3O+) ion when ionised in water

Question 4

Diprotic Acid

Answer 4

Acid molecule that produces 2 hydronium (H3O+) ions.

Question 5

Strong Acids

Answer 5

HCl acid, Nitrile acid, Sulfuric acid

Question 6

Weak Acids

Answer 6

Ethanoic acid, Citric acid, Lactic acid, H3PO4

Question 7

Strong Bases

Answer 7

NaOH, KOH

Question 8

Weak Bases

Answer 8

Ammonia (NH3)

Question 9

Disassociation of Strong Acids and Bases

Answer 9

Complete disassociation

Question 10

Disassociations of Weak Acids and Bases

Answer 10

Do not completely disassociate at equilibrium in water

Question 11

Concentration of Acids and Bases

Answer 11

Large amount of solute in a small amount of solvent in a solution (dilute is the opposite)

Question 12

Electrical Conductivity of Acids and Bases

Answer 12

Strong Acids and Bases have strong electrolytes. Vice versa for weak acids and bases

Question 13

Reaction with water for Acids and Bases

Answer 13

Strong Acid: reacts completely to create H3O+
Strong Base: reacts completely to create OH- ion
Weak Acid: partially disassociates
Weak Base: partially disassociates from OH- ions
