Acids, Bases, and Salts

Question 0

Conjugate acid/conjugate base

Answer 0

The particle formed when a base gains a hydrogen ion

The particle that remains when an acid has donated a hydrogen ion

Question 1

Monoprotic, diprotic, triprotic acids

Answer 1

Acids that contain one ionizable hydrogen (nitric acid HNO3)
Acids that contain two hydrogens (sulfuric acid H2SO4)
Acids that contain three ionizable hydrogens (phosphoric acid H3PO4)

Question 2

Conjugate acid-base pair

Answer 2

Consists of two substances related by the loss or gain if a single hydrogen ion

Question 3

Lewis acids/Lewis base

Answer 3

A substance that can accept a pair of electrons

A substance that can donate a pair of electrons

Question 4

Amphoteric

Answer 4

A substance that can act as both an acid and a base (water)

Question 5

Bronsted-lowry theory

Answer 5

Defines an acid as a hydrogen donor, and a base as a hydrogen-ion acceptor.

Question 6

What are the properties of acids and bases?

Answer 6

Acids taste sour, will change the color if an acid-base indicator, and can be strong or weak electrolytes in aqueous solution.
Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, will change the color of an acid-base indicator, and can be strong or weak electrolytes in aqueous solution.

Question 7

Arrhenius

Answer 7

H+ producer (acid)

OH- producer (base)

Question 8

Bronsted-Lowry

Answer 8

H+ donor (acid)

H- acceptor (base)

Question 9

Lewis

Answer 9

Electron pair acceptor (acid)

Electron pair donor (base)
