Front

What is the chemical reaction between an acid and a base called?

Back

Neutralization is the chemical reaction between an acid and a base which results in the formation of salt and water.

What are two ways to speed up the rate of dissolving sugar in water?

Back

Stirring and increasing surface area are two ways to speed up the rate of dissolving sugar in water.

Front

What is the charge of the hydroxide ion (base ion)?

Back

The charge of the hydroxide ion (base ion) is OH-.

Front

What does it mean to have a concentrated solution?

Back

A concentrated solution means the amount of acid or base dissolved in a solution is high.

Front

How does a supersaturated solution compare to a saturated solution?

Back

A supersaturated solution is unstable compared to a saturated solution.

Front

What is an acid?

Back

An acid is a substance that donates protons (H+) in a solution.

Front

What is a base?

Back

A base is a substance that accepts protons (H+) or donates hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution.

Front

What is pH?

Back

pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic), with 7 being neutral.

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution is a solution in which no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature.

Front

What is the difference between strong and weak acids?

Back

Strong acids completely dissociate in water, while weak acids only partially dissociate.
