Limiting Reactant, Acids, and Bases Flashcards
the first reactant that is used up in a reaction
Limiting Reactant
what is left over after the reaction stops because the limiting reactant got all used up
Excess Reactant
Percent Yield Formula
Actual Yield/Theoretical Yield
substances that taste sour and release hydrogen ions (H) when dissolved in water
Acids
Are highly corrosive, Can damage metals and potentially cause burns on the skin (Example is hydrochloric acid)
Concentrated acids
Bases that dissolve in water, Feel slippery, taste bitter, and they release hydroxide ions (OH) in water
Alkalis
a substance that neutralises acids
Base
an acid generates H+ ions in a solution whereas a base produces an OH– ion in its solution
Arrhenius theory
an acid as a proton
donor and a base as a proton acceptor
Bronsted-Lowry theory
are formed when acids and alkalis mix and neutralize each other (neutralisation reaction)
salt and water
acids as electron-pair acceptors and bases as electron-pair donors
Lewis theory
the most common and trusted way to measure how acidic or basic a substance is
pH scale
pH meaning
potential of hydrogen
neutral number in pH scale
