Acids And Bases Flashcards
1
Q
What are the typical acid reactions?
A
Acid + base => salt + water
Acid + metal => salt + hydrogen
Acid + carbonate => salt + water + CO2
2
Q
Typical reactions of alkalis
A
Acid + base/alkali => salt + water
Alkali + ammonium salt => salt + water + ammonia
3
Q
What is the bronsted-Lowry theory?
A
An acid is a proton donor
A base is a proton acceptor
4
Q
What are conjugate acid and conjugate bases?
A
Conjugate acids are the base with an extra H+
Conjugate bases are the acid without a H+
5
Q
How do strong acids behave in water?
A
Strong acids fully dissociate into separate ions in aqueous solution
6
Q
How do weak acids behave in water?
A
Weak acids partially dissociate into separate ions in aqueous solution
