have a sour taste.
−Can dissolve many metals
−Ability to neutralize bases

A

sour or tart

68
Q

who was svante arrhenius

A

(`1880)

- swedish chemist

69
Q

what was the arrhenius theory

A

acids are substances that increase the concentration of H+

bases are substances that increase the concentration of OH- when dissolved in water

70
Q

what are some problems with arrhenius theory

A

1.) does not explain why molecular substances like NH3 and Na2CO3, Na2O dissolve in water
(bc they do not contain OH-ions)
2.) does not explain why molecular substances like CO2 dissolve in water
(they do not contain H+ ions)
3.) it does not explain acid-base reactions that take place outside aqeuous solutions

A

The reactant that oxidizes an element in another
reactant
-contains the element is reduced
