Acids and bases Flashcards
What do acids react with
active metals
(single replacement)
produces H2 bubbles
do acids conduct electricity
yes
what do bases feel like
feel slippery
do bases conduct electricity
yes
acid arrenius definition
molecules that ionize in water to produce Hydrogen ions
Base arrenius definition
ionic metal hydroxides that dissociate in water to produce hydroxide ions
acid-base indicators
derived from plant pigmnents
- have predictable colours at different pH levels
each indicator has two forms:
Hln: acid form
ln: base form
AUTOIONIZATION OF WATER
H2O + H2O <-> H3O= + OH-
when hydronium concentration outweighs hydroxide concentration, the solution is
acidic
when hydroxide concentration outweighs the hydronium concentration, the solution is
basic
when hydronium and hydroxide ions are in balance the solution is
neutral
hydronium ion concentration against acid-neutral-basic locations
uses a curve of best fit, inverse relationship
pH
a negative logarithmic scale of the hydronium ion concentration of a solution
power of Hydrogen
what is a pH is near 0
strong and concentrated acid
