Unit 4: Acids, Bases And Salts (1) Flashcards
According to Arrhenius theory a base is any substance which…
Releases OH- (aq) in water
According to Arrhenius theory and acid is any substance which….
Releases H+ (aq) in water
According to Arrhenius theory a salt is…
The neutralization product which results when an acid and a base react
A ____ is any ionic compound which is neither an acid or a base
Salt
An ____ is any ionic species whose formula that starts with an “H”
Acid
A ____ is any ionic species whose formula that ends with an “OH”
Base
What is a species that contains ions and does not start with “H” or end in “OH” called?
A salt
The general equation for a acid-base neutralization reaction is…
ACID + BASE => SALT + WATER
H+ + OH- => ?
H2O
Acids usually…. (5 things)
- react with bases
- are electrolytes
- act on some metals to produce H2 (g)

- taste sour
Bases usually…. (5 things)
- react with acids
- are electrolytes
- feel slippery (react with skin and fat to make soap)
- turn litmus paper BLUE
- taste bitter
The presence of _____ accounts for the properties of those substances which are traditionally called “acids”
“H+”
The presence of _____ accounts for the properties of those substances which are traditionally called “based”
“OH-“
