Acids and Bases Flashcards
What produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in water…?
Bases
What produces hydronium ions when dissolved in water..?
Acids
What conducts electricity when dissolved in water…?
Electrolyte
Compare strong and weak acids
Strong - completely dissociates in water; strong electrolyte
Weak - partially dissociates/dissolves in water; weak electrolyte
Common properties of acids and bases..?
Acids - sour taste, reacts w/metals, corrosive, turns litmus paper red.
Bases - bitter taste, no reaction w/metals, slippery feel, and turns litmus paper blue
What are spectator ions?
Ions not participating in chemical reaction
Complete equation for the neutralization of NaOH and HCL?
NaOH -> H20 + NaCl
Why do strong bases form strong electrolytes and weak bases dont?
Strong bases - form strong electrolytes because they completely dissolves in water
2 examples of Strong and Weak Acids
Sulfric and Hydrochloric - Strong
Acetric ans Citric - Weak
2 examples of strong and weak bases
Calcium and Potassium Hydroxide - Strong
Ammonia and Methylamine - Weak
