CHEM pt 4- Acids, Bases, and pH Flashcards
Naming and Formulas of Acids and Bases pH Scale Neutralization Reactions Acid Precipitation
If the anion ends in ‘ide’, the name of the acid begins with…
the ‘hydro’ prefix.
If the anion ends in ‘ate’, the acid name is…
he root followed by the suffix ‘ic’
If the anion ends in ‘ite’, the acid name is …
the root followed by the ‘ous’ suffix.
How do you name a base?
The name of a base ends in “hydroxide,” and the cation (positive ion) is named first.
What does the pH scale measure?
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a solution is, ranging from 0 to 14
What is considered acidic, neutral, and basic on the pH scale?
pH less than 7 is acidic, pH of 7 is neutral, and pH greater than 7 is basic (alkaline).
What is the pH of lemon juice?
Lemon juice is acidic with a pH around 2.
What is the pH of pure water?
Pure water has a neutral pH of 7.
What is the pH of ammonia solution?
Ammonia solution is basic with a pH around 11.
What happens in a neutralization reaction?
In a neutralization reaction, an acid and a base react to form a salt and water, and the pH becomes closer to 7.
What is precipitation with a pH less than 5.6 called?
Precipitation with a pH less than 5.6 is called acid precipitation.
