What is an acid?⚗️🧑🔬
A hydrogen-containing compound that splits in water to give hydrogen ions.
What are unique to acids?
It contains hydrogens that dissolve in water and produce ions in the solution.
What are bases?
A substance that will neutralize an acid by accepting hydrogen ions.
What does pH stand for, and what does it measure?
It stands for the power of hydrogen, and it measures hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
What is salt?
A type of compound that is formed when an acid and a base react.
What is Dissociation?💥
It is the process by which a substance is split up into its ions in a solution.
What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid?
A strong acid is an acid that is completely ionized in water. A weak acid is an acid that is only partly ionized in water.
What are some uses of bases?
They are used in toothpaste, household liquid cleaners, and indigestion tablets.
What is the pH scale based on?
Strong and weak acids.
What is an indicator?
A substance that changes color as the pH of the solution changes.
What is Buffer?💪
A solution that resists changes in pH.
What does acid always do with carbonates?
It reacts with carbonates.
What do bases do to acid?
They neutralize acids.
What is the pH scale?
A scale that measures an acid or a base.
How are salts made?
Salts can be made by crystalization or by being precipertants.
What is salt? 🧂
A type of compound that is formed when an acid and base react.
What are organic acids?
EC: What is the most common organic acid? +100
An organic compound that is an acidic.
EC: Carboxylic acids. +100
What do all alkalis have in common?
It is a base that's normally a hydroxide of metal in group one or group two of the periodic table.
What is the difference between strong acids and weak acids? Is it the same for bases?
An acid that completely ionizes in water is a strong acid, and an acid that only partially ionizes in water is a weak acid. It is the same for bases.
What is an Alkaline solution?
a solution that contains a base, or a solution that has a pH greater than seven.
What is Titration?
A method of finding the concentration of acidic or alkaline solutions.
How do acids behave?
They dissolve in water and their ions do not exist on their own, instead they join with water molecules.
What is neutralization?
The reaction between an acid and a base to produce salt.
How do you measure pH?
You measure it on a scale of 1-14 on a pH strip.
What is neutralization?
the process by which you make a solution neither acid or alkaline.
