Acids,Bases,Salts
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Acid (Arrhenius) | An acid is a substance which yields hydrogen ions (H+) in solutions. |
| Acids (Bronsted-Lowry) | An acid is a proton (H+) donor. |
| Acid (Lewis) | An acid is an electron pair acceptor. |
| Base (Arrhenius) | A base is a substance which yields hydroxide ions (OH-) in solutions. |
| Base (Bronsted-Lowry) | A base is a proton (H+) acceptor. |
| Base (Lewis) | A base is an electron pair donor. |
| Acid Anhydride | A non-metallic oxide which reacts with water to produce an acid. E.g SO3(g) + H2O(l) --> H2SO4(aq) |
| Alkali | A basic, ionic salt of an alkali or alkaline earth metal. Also, It is a base that can be dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH-(aq)). E.g. NaOH(aq)--> Na+(aq) + OH-(aq |
| Salt | A neutral product (consisting of a positive and negative (except OH-) ion) that is formed from a base and an acid. |
| Acid Oxide | A non-metallic oxide that reacts with water to produce an acid. E.g. SO2, CO2,CO3 |
| Basic Oxide | A metallic oxide that reacts with water to produce a base. E.g. Na2O, CaO, MgO |
| Amphoteric Oxide | A metallic oxide which displays characteristics of a base and an acid. It can react with both. E.g. ZnO, pbO ZnO reacts with NaOH as an acid and with HCl as a base. |
| Neutral Oxide | One that does not form a salt with an acid or base. E.g Carbon Monoxide(CO), Nitrous monoxide(NO), Dinitrogen monoxide(N2O) |
| Acid | A substance thay produces hydrogen ions (H+(aq)) in water |
| Neutralization | When an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water. |
| Base | An oxide/hydroxide of a metal. |
| Normal Salt | It is formed when all the H+ ions in an acid are replaced by a metal/amnonium ions. E.g. 2KOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) --> K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) |
| Acid Salt | It is formed when the H+ ions in an acid are partially replaced by a metal/ amnonium ions. E.g. 2KOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) --> K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) |
