Q

weak acid/base

A

will dissociate or ionise partially in their aqueous solution

16
Q

hydronium ion

17
Q

hydrogen bromide

18
Q

phosphoric acid

19
Q

how does ocean acidification work?

A

CO2 reacts with water to form H2CO3 which eventually breaks down into H+ and HCO3-; these H+ ions decrease the ocean’s pH

20
Q

bicarbonate

A

HCO3; weak base

21
Q

difference between concentrated acid/base and strong acid/base

A

concentrated refers to acid/base molecules whereas strong acid/base refers to its ability to completely dissociate

22
Q

list 4 examples of strong acids

A

HCl, HBr, HNO3, H2SO4

23
Q

ammonia

A

NH3; weak base

24
sodium hydroxide
NaOH; strong base
25
list 3 strong bases
NaOH, KOH, LiOH
26
potassium hydroxide
KOH
27
lithium hydroxide
LiOH
28
electrolytes
a substance that conducts electricity when melted or dissolved in a substance
29
why are acids and bases electrolytes?
they dissociate into positive and negative ions meaning they can conduct and electrical current
30
electrical conductivity
the degree to which a material conducts an electrical current
