acids, bases and dissociation Flashcards
what is a strong acid
an acid that fully dissociates in a solution releasing H+ ions
what is a strong base
an base that fully dissociates in a solution releasing OH- ions
what is a weak base
an base that partially dissociates in a solution
what is a weak acid
an acid that partially dissociates in a solution
definition of a base
proton acceptors
definition of an acid
proton donor
neutralisation reaction products and reactants
acid + base -> salt + water
what does an acid + metal produce
salt + hydrogen
what is the dissociation of a strong acid
full dissociation
what is a amphoteric substances
substances that can act as an acid and base
acid + carbonate —>
salt + co2 + h2o
what is a. salt
a compound formed when H+ of an ion is replaced by a metal ion or positive ion
acid + metal oxide —>
salt + water
acid + alkali —>
salt + water
acid + metal —>
salt + hydrogen
what is an anhydrous crystals mean
crystalline form that contains no water
what does a weak acid make when it slightly dissociates
an equilibrium mixture
what is an alkali
a soluble base that releases OH- ions in aq solution
