Definitions
What is the definition of Lewis Acids?
is an acid that accepts an electron pair to help form a covalent bond
Why do salad dressings that contain vinegar taste tangy?
Vinegar is an example of an acid. Since it is an acid it has a sour taste.
Which law states that H+ ions are produced in aqueous solutions?
Arrhenius Acids
What is the problem with the definition of Arrhenius Bases?
the definition is way too limiting, it limits a base to compounds containing hydroxide
What is the definition of Lewis Bases?
is a base that donates an electron pair to help form a covalent bond
Why do fruits like lemons, oranges, and limes taste kind of sour?
These fruits taste kind of sour because they contain citric acid. Citric acid is an acid and due to this it can have a sour taste to it.
Which law states that OH- ions are produced in aqueous solutions?
Arrhenius Bases
How do conjugate acid-base pairs differ from one another?
they differ by one proton
What is the definition of a reversible reaction?
is a chemical reaction in which the products can react together to form the reactants
What is an example of an alcoholic beverage that contains a type of acid?
Wine is an alcoholic beverage that contains tartaric acid, giving it that bitter sweet taste.
Which law describes the species as a proton acceptor and breaks up into a H+ in solution?
Brønsted-Lowry Acids
What is ph?
the quantitative measure of the acidity or basicity of aqueous or other liquid solutions
What is the definition of Chemical Equilibrium?
is when both reactions continue but there are no more changes in concentration, then the system has reached equilibrium
Why are bases used in cleaning projects?
A base is very good at dissolving grease and protein so it makes cleaning different surfaces much easier.
Which law states the species as a proton acceptor?
Brønsted-Lowry Bases
If water is a 7 on the ph scale is it acidic, basic, or neutral?

What is the definition of dissociation?
is when ions break up in a solution
What are some examples of cleaning products that are basic?
