acids and bases Flashcards
<p>what is an acid? </p>
<p>substances that dissolve in water to produce hydrogen ions</p>
<p>what is a base?</p>
<p>substances that dissolve in water to produce hydroxide ions</p>
<p>what is a dissociation reaction? </p>
<p>when an acid/base is dissolved in water</p>
<p>acid dissociation reactions: HCl</p>
<p>H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)</p>
<p>acid dissociation reactions: H2SO4 (aq)</p>
<p>2H+ (aq) SO4-2 (aq) </p>
<p>base dissociation reactions: NaOH (aq)</p>
<p>Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)</p>
<p>base dissociation reactions: Al(OH)3 (aq)</p>
<p>Al+3 (aq) +3OH- (aq)</p>
do not include water as a reactant since _______
it is known that (aq) means something has been dissolved in water
