Acids, Bases & Salts

Question 1

Arrhenius Acid

Answer 1

Substance that yields hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution

Question 2

Arrhenius Base

Answer 2

A substance that yields hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution

Question 3

Bronsted-Lowry Acid

Answer 3

Proton donors

Question 4

Bronsted-Lowry Base

Answer 4

Proton acceptors

Question 5

Conjugate Base

Answer 5

Original acid donates a proton

Remaining ion is capable of accepting a proton (base)

Question 6

Conjugate Acid

Answer 6

Original base accepts a proton

Remaining ion is capable of donating a proton (acid)

Question 7

Lewis Acid

Answer 7

Electron-pair acceptor

Question 8

Lewis Base

Answer 8

An electron-pair donor

Question 9

Buffer Solutions

Answer 9

Equilibrium systems that resist changes in acidity & maintain constant pH when acids/bases are added to them

Question 10

Salt

Answer 10

Ionic compound containing positive ions other than hydrogen ions & negative ions other than hydroxide ions

Question 11

Amphoteric

Answer 11

Molecules that can act as either acids (H donors) or bases (H acceptors)

Question 12

Acid Rain

Answer 12

Forms when the oxides of sulfur & nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric & nitric acids (very corrosive)
