Acids and Bases Flashcards
(47 cards)
What do Aqueous solutions of acids taste like? (Throwaway)
Aqueous solutions of acids have a sour taste
What do acids and bases change the color of?
Acid base indicators (throwaway)
What do some acids react with to produce H2?
Active metals
What happens when acids and bases react?
Produces salts and water
Do acids conduct electric current?
yes
Acid nomenclature–binary acid
contains only 2 diff elements–H and one of the more electronegative elements
More electronegative elements
HF, HCl, HBr, HI
Naming a binary acid
prefix hydro, root of name of second element follows prefix, ends with -ic
oxyacid
acid compound of H, O, and third element *(usually non metal)
dissociation
when two ions separate in aqueous solution
Naming oxyacid
follows a pattern; names of anions based on names of acids
What does an acid always produce when it dissociates? What does this tell you about the other product?
An acid always produces H+ ions when it dissociates–this can tell you the other product’s charge, because you can isolate the charge of the reactants and subtract the H+ ions from it once the equation is balanced.
If the suffix of an anion of an acid is -ate, what is the acid name suffix?
ic
If the suffix of an anion of an acid is -ite, what is the acid name suffix?
ous
Common industrial acids
Sulfuric, Nitric, Phosphoric, Hydrochloric/muriatic, Acetic
What do Aqueous solutions of basis taste like? (Throwaway)
bitter
What do dilute aqueous solutions of bases feel like?
slippery (God, these are stupid questions.)
Do bases conduct electricity?
yes
Arrhenius acid
chemical compound that increases concentration of H+ ions in aqueous solution (molecular compounds w/ ionizable H atoms)
Ionization
Ionization is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons to form ions, often in conjunction with other chemical changes. (Wikipedia, but true. I just didn’t have words.)
Arrhenius base
substance that increases concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution
OH-
hydroxide ions
H+
Hydrogen ions
Aqueous acids
Arrhenius acid water solutions, always electrolytes
