What is a conjugate acid?

Back

A conjugate acid is the species formed when a base accepts a proton (H+).

Front

What is an Arrhenius base?

Back

An Arrhenius base is a substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solution.

Front

What is the pH of pure water?

Back

The pH of pure water is 7, which is considered neutral.

Front

What is a conjugate base?

Back

A conjugate base is the species that remains after an acid donates a proton.

Front

What is a Bronsted-Lowry acid?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between an acid and a base?

Back

Acids donate protons (H+), while bases accept protons.

Front

What is the role of water in acid-base reactions?

Back

Water can act as both an acid and a base, depending on the reaction.

Front

What is the significance of the pH scale?

Back

The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic).

Front

What is the formula for calculating pH?

Back

pH = -log[H+], where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Front

What is a strong acid?

Back

A strong acid is one that completely dissociates in solution, releasing all of its protons.
