Properties of Acids & Bases
Substances with a pH less than 7 are called this
What are acids?
An Arrhenius acid produces this ion in water
What is H⁺?
Strong acids do this in water
What is completely break apart (dissociate)?
HCl(aq) is named this
What is hydrochloric acid?
Neutral pH is this number
What is 7?
Formula for pH when given the [H+]
What is pH = −log[H⁺]?
Substances that feel slippery and have pH greater than 7 are
What are bases?
An Arrhenius base produces this ion
What is OH⁻?
Weak acids do this in water
What is partially break apart?
Acids ending in “-ate” become this ending
What is -ic acid?
A solution with pH 3 is this
What is acidic?
[H⁺] = 1×10⁻³ → pH
What is 3?
Acids turn blue litmus paper this color
What is red?
A Brønsted-Lowry acid does this
What is donate a proton (H⁺)?
The strength of an acid or base depends on how much it does this
What is ionizes?
Acids ending in “-ite” become this ending
What is -ous acid?
A solution with pH 10 is this
What is basic?
[H⁺] = 1×10⁻⁷ → pH
What is acidic?
Bases turn red litmus paper this color
What is blue?
A Brønsted-Lowry base does this
What is accept a proton (H⁺)?
HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4, HBr, HI are all these
What are STRONG ACIDS?
NaOH is named this
What is sodium hydroxide?
As pH decreases, acidity does this
What is increases?
If pH = 5, the solution is
What is acidic?
Acids react with metals to produce this gas
What is hydrogen gas?
The main idea of Brønsted-Lowry theory is
What is transfer of H⁺ (protons)?
Weak acids form this type of system
What is equilibrium?
The prefix used in binary acids
What is hydro-?
Each pH step changes by a factor of
What is 10?
Lower pH means this concentration is higher
What is hydrogen ion (H⁺)?
