acids and bases Flashcards
(21 cards)
acid characteristics
- tart/sour
- produces color changes with indicators
- will react with and neutralize a base to form water
- will react with certain metals with H2 as a product
- conducts electricity
basic characteristics
- bitter taste
- slippery feeling
- produces color changes with indicators
- will neutralize an acid to form water
- will form a precipitate With certain cations
- conducts electricity
Arrhenius acid
a substance that increases the concentration of H+ in water by dissociating into ions
Arrhenius base
a substance that increases the concentration of OH- in water by dissociating into ions
Bronsted-Lowry acid
a proton (H+) donor…can only give one H+ at a time
Bronsted-Lowry base
A proton (H+) acceptor
Amphoteric and examples
it possesses both acid and base properties. its reactivity is relative to what its reacting with. (H+ and HSO3-)
What do strong acids/ bases do in water?
Dissociate 100%
what do weak acids/bases do in water?
only small amounts dissociate in water
