Types Of Reactions In Solutions Flashcards
1
Q
What are acids?
A
Molecules that lose hydrogen ions (protons) when dissolved in water
2
Q
What are the types of acids and explain
A
The types of acids are weak acids that don’t completely dissociate in water like acetic acid (vinegar) and lactic acid and strong acids that completely dissociate in water like hydrochlonic acid ,perchlonic acid and nitric acid
3
Q
What are bases?
A
Molecules that can accept hydrogen ions (protons)
4
Q
What are the types of bases?
A
Strong bases that are soluble ionic compounds with OH and weak bases
5
Q
What happens in an acid -base reaction?
A
H+ and OH- always react to make h20 but not all acids have one hydrogenion and not all bases have one hydroxide
