Chapter 15 and 16 acids and bases Flashcards
What’s three characteristics do acids have that are different than bases?
Sour, corrosive, react with metals to produce hydrogen 
What three characteristics do bases have that are different from acid?
, bitter Caustic, slippery like soap
What characteristics do both acids and bases have
Change the color of indicators,
they react with the other two produce salt and water,
electrolytes 
And Arrhenius acid contains what?
hydrogen and hydronium H3O
Think AA (alcoholic) drinks (H3O) and Hydrogen (hydro gen sounds like water)
An arHenneous base contains what
Hydroxide ions 
Think pirate Ahrr goes to BASE but no longer wants to associate with negative hydroxide so DISSOCIATES with -OH
What is dissociation?
Process of separating ionic compounds into ions in solution by action of the soffit. Dissociation takes place with ionic compounds. 
What is Ionization?
Process of creating ions in solution by action of the solvent. Ionization involves covalent compounds, and ions are created where they did not exist before. 
Arrhenius acids and bases give off what?
Arsenious acid give off excess of hydrogen plus ions
Arsenius bases give off excess hydroxide negative ions 
What is a Bronsted Lowry acid
A molecule or ion that’s a proton donor
Think ACID donor
This also includes all Arrhenius acid in solution
What is a Bronsted Lowry base
It is a proton acceptor 
Do hydronium ions have to be produced by Bronsted Lowry acids?
No, they do not
NaOH arrow Na+ + OH- (dissociated hydroxide means it’s a base!)
Acids are always in solution
Can you tell if something is a strong acid?
Ionizes almost completely in solution
Can you tell if something is a weak acid?
It only partially ionizes in solution
