What is Neutralization?
The process by which you make a solution neither alkali or acid.
What is an indicator?
A substance that shows how much pH is in a solution.
What is an organic acid?
An acid that is natural, not artificial.
What happens when bases collide with water?
They dissolve and their hydroxide ions separate.
What makes acids different from bases?
Acids contain hydrogen ions, bases contain hydroxide ions.
A hydrogen-containing compound that splits in water to form hydrogen Ions.
Acid
What is a base?
A compound that reacts with acid to produce water and salt.
What is the difference between weak acids and strong acids?
Weak acids are higher on the pH scale and they dissolve things slower, they have less hydrogen ions. Strong acids are lower on the pH scale and they dissolve things faster, they have more hydrogen ions.
What is the difference between weak bases and strong bases?
Weak bases are lower on the pH scale and they dissolve things and neutralize acids slower, they have less hydroxide ions. Strong bases are higher on the pH scale and they dissolve things and neutralize acids faster, they have more hydroxide ions.
A solution that resists change in pH.
Buffer
A compound that is formed when an acid and base collide.
Salt
A solution that contains an acid, or a solution that has a pH less that 7.
Acidic solution.
What happens when acids collide with water?
They dissolve and its contents seperate.
What is an organic base?
A rare base that is produced by non-artificial substances.
What is a way to produce salt?
Neutralization.
What is pH?
A measure of acidity or alkalinity in a solution.
A solution that contains an alkali, or a solution that has a pH higher than 7.
Alkaline solution
What are 3 organic acids?
Stomach acid, bee sting acid, vitamin c or citric acid, lactic acid (a form of medicine), etc. (I will except any other organic acids).
What happens when an base collides with a acid?
They neutralize each other and produce H20 and a form of salt.
What is the pH scale?
A scale that measures how acidic or alkaline a solution is by showing numbers 1 through 14.
What is an alkali?
A base that dissolves in water to form hydroxide ions.
What is dissociation?
The process by which a substance is split up into its ions in a solution.
What are some uses for acids?
Removing stains, oil, fruits, vitamins, insecticides, stomach acid, weapons, salt, and destruction.
What are some uses for bases?
Soaps, toothpastes, paper, drain cleaner, bleach, and medicines.
What is Titration?
A method of finding the concentration of an acid or a base.
