What is a strong acid?
It completely dissociates in water
What is a weak acid?
It only partially dissociates in water
What is a strong base?
They dissociate to metal cations and hydroxide anions in water
What is a weak base?
They only partially react to produce hydroxide anions
Molarity equation
Molarity (M) = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters
Do acids donate or accept the H+ ion?
They donate it
They are defined as a proton donor
Example: HCl
Do bases donate or accept the H+ ion?
They accept it
They are defined as a proton acceptor
Example: NaOH
What does a neutralization reaction produce?
Acids and bases react with each other to produce water and salt.
