Chem acids and bases
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acids | Substance that releases a H+(hydrogen) ion when dissolved in water |
| Bases | Substance that releases OH-(Hydroxide) ions when dissolved in water |
| pH Scale | Measures how acidic and basic a liquid is |
| Acids | Blue litmus paper turns red Sour taste Sticky pH below 7 pH paper turns pink, yellow or red |
| Bases | Red litmus paper turns blue pH above 7 Slippery Bitter taste Pheolp. turns pink pH paper turns dark green and blue |
| Both | Corrosive compound that releases ions(-/+) in a solution |
| Acids(Bronsted-Lowry) | Donates a proton(H+) |
| Bases(Borwnsted-Lowry) | Accepts the Proton(H+) |
| Conjugate base | Bronsted-Lowry acid is the species formed after an acid donates a proton |
| Conjugate acid | Bronsted-Lowry base is the species formed after a base accepts a proton |
