Topic 7: The Characteristic Properties of Acids and Bases Flashcards
1
Q

A
is a proton donor
2
Q
An aqueous solution of an acid
A
contains H+ ions
3
Q
A strong acid
A
is an acid that completely dissociates in aqueous solution
4
Q
A weak acid
A
is an acid that partly dissociates in aqueous solution
5
Q
A base
A
is a proton acceptor
6
Q
Bases
A
are oxides or hydroxides of metals
7
Q
Alkalis
A
are soluble bases
8
Q
An aqueous solution of an alkali
A
contains OHions
9
Q
A neutralisation reaction
A
between an acid and an alkali produces water
H+(aq) + OH– (aq) → H2O (l )
10
Q
Amphoteric oxides
A
are oxides that react with acids and with bases to produce a salt and water
