Acid and Bases Flashcards
(89 cards)
taste sour
acids
taste bitter
bases
turns litmus paper red
acids
turns litmus paper blue
bases
do not react with metals
bases
react with metals to produce H2 gas
acids
give off smaller amounts of H+
weak acid
give off lots of OH-1
Strong base
give off lots of H+
Strong acid
give off smaller amounts of OH-1
Weak base
tells us the acidity or basicity of a solution
pH
0 to 7 pH level
Acid
7 to 14
Bases
reaction in which acid and base react to neutralize one another
Neutralization reaction
any ionic compound formed as a by-product of an acid-base reaction
Salt
allows you to calculate the concentration of an unknown acid or base
Acid-base Titration
lab technique which allows you to get moles of acid and base exactly equal to another
Acid-base Titration
the substance of known concentration used to determine the unknown concentration of other substance
Titrant
substance that changes color at a certain pH- is added to tell us when the neutralization is complete
Indicator
undergoes a color change between pH 8 and 10
Phenolphthalein
pH at which amount of acid= amount of base
Equivalence point
point at which the volume of titrant added makes the amount of acid and base are equal and the indicator changes color
End point
are assumed to dissociate completely when in aqueous solution
Strong acid
dissociate only slightly in aqueous solution
Weak acid
