Q3S3 - Acids & Bases
Grade 8 Q3S3 - Relationship between Acids & Bases
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Compounds | A substance made of two or more different elements chemically bonded together |
| Solutions | A mixture where one substance is dissolved evenly in another |
| Acids | Substances that release hydrogen ions (H⁺) in water and have a pH less than 7 |
| Bases | Substances that release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in water and have a pH greater than 7 |
| Salt | A compound formed when an acid reacts with a base |
| pH | A measure of how acidic or basic a solution is, ranging from 0 to 14 |
| Hydroxide | An ion made of oxygen and hydrogen (OH⁻) found in bases |
| Hydrogen ions | Positively charged ions (H⁺) found in acids |
| Neutral | A solution with a pH of 7, neither acidic nor basic |
| Acidic | A solution with a pH less than 7 |
| Basic | A solution with a pH greater than 7 |
| pH scale | A scale from 0 to 14 that shows how acidic or basic a substance is |
| Indicator | A substance that changes color to show if a solution is acidic or basic |
| Properties | Characteristics used to describe matter, such as color, density, and pH |
| Water quality | How clean and safe water is for living things and human use |
| Air quality | How clean and safe the air is for breathing |
| Acidification | The process of becoming more acidic, often in oceans or lakes |
| Carbon cycle | The movement of carbon through the atmosphere, oceans, plants, animals, and soil. |
| Acid-Base Neutralization Reaction | Acid + Base = Salt + Water |
