Acids + Bases Flashcards
Strong Acid
A proton (H+) donor, which is fully dissociated in aqueous solution
Weak acid
Proton donor which is partially dissociated In aqueous solution
Neutralisation
The reaction of an acid with a base to form a salt
Base
Proton acceptor
Alkali
Soluble base that’s releases OH -1 in aqueous solution
Salt
Compound produced when one or more H plus ions from an acid is replaced by a metal ion or another positive ions such as an ammonium ion
Acid+metal
Salt +hydrogen
NOT NEUTRALISATION
REDOX
Acid + metal (oxide/hydroxide)
Salt + water
NEUTRALISATION
Acid + metal carbonate
Salt+water+ co2
NEUTRALISATION
Common acids
HCl
HPO4
HNO3
H2SO4
CH3COOH (WEAK)
Mono/di/tri protic
Amount of protons produced (from 1 molecule of substance)
1/2/3
Alkaline gas
Ammonia NH3
Hydrogen lost from (eth)anoic acid is…?
Acidic (becomes h+ in dissociation, so 1H lost)
Ammonia + water
The ammonia gas reacts with water to give ammonium ions and hydroxide ions. At the same time, ammonium ions and hydroxide ions are reacting to give ammonia and water. Reversible
acid + NH3
ammonium salt
