Acids & Bases Flashcard - Level

Front

What is an Arrhenius base?

Back

An Arrhenius base is a substance that produces hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution.

Front

What do acids react with to produce salts and water?

Back

Acids react with bases to produce salts and water.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a strong base: NaOH, LiOH, Al(OH)3, Ca(OH)2?

Back

Al(OH)3 is NOT a strong base.

Front

What is a Bronsted-Lowry acid?

Back

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates protons (H+) in a chemical reaction.

Front

What are the characteristics of a base?

Back

Bases typically have a bitter taste, feel slippery, and produce hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.

Front

What is the pH range of acids?

Back

The pH range of acids is from 0 to 7.

Front

What is the pH range of bases?

Back

The pH range of bases is from 7 to 14.

Front

What is a neutral solution?

Back

A neutral solution has a pH of 7, meaning it is neither acidic nor basic.

Front

What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid?

Back

A strong acid completely dissociates in water, while a weak acid only partially dissociates.

Front

What is a salt in terms of acid-base reactions?

Back

A salt is a product formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.
