Acids, bases & Neutralization Reactions Flashcards
1
Q
Acid
A
A substance that dissociates in water to give (H+) ions
2
Q
Base
A
A substance that dissociates in water to give (OH-) ions
3
Q
Neutralization reaction
A
An acid reacts with a base to yield water and a salt
- predict products: HA (acid) + MOH (base)——> H2O (water) + MA (salt)
- determine whether acid & base dissociate completely (single/double arrow)
- spectator ions are those that do not form water
