M2 - Chapter 4 Flashcards
All acids contain what in their formula
Hydrogen
When dissolved in what, what do acids do
Dissociate = release hydrogen ions as protons
What is an alkali
A soluble base
What is a strong acid
fully dissociate in solution
H+ releases
What is strong bases
fully dissociate in solution
OH- released
What are weak acids
only partially dissociate in solution, only a small percentage of the products will be ions
What occurs at equilibrium
the products are formed at the same rate as the reactants are used
• This means that at equilibrium, both reactants and products are present in the solution
What does the equilibrium sign indicate
That the forward reaction is incomplete
Acids + bases table
Neutralisation reaction
Neutralisation ionic equation
What do spectator ions form in a neutralisation reaction
The salt
Is sulphuric acid a strong acid
Yes…kinda
How is sulfuric acid kinda a strong acid
In sulphuric acid what behaves as a weak acid and what behaves as a strong acid
Sulphuric acid = strong
HS04- ions = weak acid
