Neutralization Reactions

Front

What happens to a solution if there is excess hydrogen ions?

Back

The solution will be acidic.

Front

What are the products of a neutralization reaction?

Back

A neutralization reaction will (almost) always produce water and salt.

Front

What is an acid?

Back

A type of chemical that forms solutions that taste sour, due to high concentrations of positive hydrogen ions.

Front

Complete the following reaction: H3PO4 + NaOH --> ?

Back

Na3PO4 + H2O

Front

Complete the following reaction: HCl + Mg(OH)2 --> ?

Back

MgCl2 + H2O

Front

What is a base?

Back

A substance that can accept hydrogen ions (protons) or donate electron pairs.

Front

What is the pH scale?

Back

A scale used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic).

Front

What is the general equation for a neutralization reaction?

Back

Acid + Base -> Salt + Water.

Front

What is a salt in chemistry?

Back

A compound formed from the reaction of an acid and a base, consisting of cations and anions.

Front

What is the role of water in a neutralization reaction?

Back

Water is produced as a byproduct of the reaction between an acid and a base.
