Acids and Redox (4) Flashcards
acid
releases H+ protons when dissolved in water
strong acid
releases all H+ protons when in water, it fully dissociates
weak acid
only releases a small amount of H+ protons when i water, and partially dissociates
base
metal oxide, metal hydroxide
It neutralises an acid by reacting with the H+ and accepting a proton.
alkali
a base that when dissolved in water, releases OH- ions
salt
a product of a neutralisation reaction where an H+ in an acid has been replaced by a metal or ammonium ion.
acid + base
→ salt + water
acid + alkali
→ salt + water
acid + metal carbonate
→ salt + water + carbon dioxide
acid + metal
→ salt + hydrogen
