acids & bases Flashcards
1
Q
acid + reactive metal
A
salt + hydrogen gas
2
Q
acid + metal carbonate
A
salt + water + carbon dioxide
3
Q
acid + metal oxide/hydroxide
A
salt + water
4
Q
base + acid
A
salt + water
5
Q
proticity of acids
A
proticity = basicity
number of H+ ions produced by one molecule of that acid in aqueous solution
monoprotic acid = weak acid (e.g. ethanoic acid because its H atoms cannot be dissociated to produce H+ ions)
6
Q
base + ammonium salt
A
salt + water + ammonia gas
