what is an acid?
a species that releases H+ ions in aqueous solution
a strong acid … dissociates in solution
fully
a weak acid … dissociates in solution
partially
strong acid dissociations have the sign
->
weak acid dissociations have the sign
⇌ as they are reversible because an equilibrium exists between the ions and the acid. at any one time all 3 exist in the solution
what is a base?
a compound that neutralises an acid to form a salt
what is an alkali?
a water soluble base that releases OH- ions in aqueous solution
acid + metal hydroxide
salt +water
acid + metal oxide
salt + water
