Acids increase the concentration of ______ when dissolved in water
Hydronium (H3O+)
When a base dissolves in water, molecules break apart to form _____
Hydroxide ions (HO-)
Bases increase the concentration of ______ when dissolved in water
Hydroxide ions (OH-)
Acids have a ______ taste.
Sour
Acids have a pH ______
Below 7
Acids turn ______ litmus paper ______
Blue
Red
Acids corrode with ______ to form ______

Hydrogen gas
Name uses of acids
Areas of Industry and homes, including:
- Keeps swimming pools free of algae
- Stomach acids
- Orange juice and lemon juice
- Vinegar
Acids (can, cannot) conduct electric current when dissolved in water. Why or why not?
Can; hydronium ions are formed when an acid dissolves in water. They can move freely past each other and conduct electric current.
Most acids are ______, meaning they destroy, clothing, body tissue, etc.
Corrosive
Bases have a ______ taste
Bitter
Bases have a ______ feel
Slippery
Bases have a pH ______
Above 7
Bases change ______ Litmus paper ______
Red
Blue
Solutions of bases (can, cannot) conduct electric current. Why?
Solutions of bases increase the number of hydroxide ions in a solution. They can move freely past one another and conduct electric current.
Name 4 uses of bases
- Soap
- Anti-acids
- Bleach
- Cleaning agents (ammonia)
When a base reacts with an acid, a ______ occurs. This forms ______ (a ______ substance) and a ______
Neutralization reaction
Water
Neutral
Salt
Neutral substances (such as ______) have a pH of ______
Water

When all the molecules of an acid break apart to form hydrogen ions (which will then form hydroium ions)when dissolved in water, the acid is considered a ______ acid.
Strong
When only a few the molecules of an acid break apart to form hydrogen ions (which will then form hydroium ions)when dissolved in water, the acid is considered a ______ acid.
Weak
When all the molecules of a base break apart to form hydroxide ions when dissolved in water, the acid is considered a ______ base.
Strong
When only some of the molecules of a base break apart to form hydroxide ions when dissolved in water, the acid is considered a ______ base.
Weak
The pH scale is a measure of the _____ concentration in a solution
Hydronium ion concentration
