Acids and Bases

QuestionAnswer
An acids reaction on litmus paper Blue -> red
A bases reaction on litmus paper Red -> blue
How do bases react with grease and oil They turn them into soluble soaps
What base is found in toothpaste Sodium bicarbonate
What base is found in milk of magnesia Magnesium Hydroxide
What is Arrhenius' definition of an acid A substance that dissociates in water to produce H+ ions
How does Nitric acid react in water (equation) HNO3 -> H+ + NO3-
Monobasic acid Molecule that dissociates in water to give one H+ ion.
Dibasic acid Molecule that dissociates in water to give two H+ ions.
Tribasic Acid Molecule that dissociates in water to give three H+ ions
Monobasic acid example Hydrogen Chloride
Dibasic acid example Sulfuric Acid
Tribasic acid example Phosphoric Acid
Arrhenius' definition of a strong acid A substance that almost completely dissociates in water to form H+ ions
Arrhenius' definition of a weak acid A substance that slightly dissociates in water to form H+ ions.
Arrhenius' definition of a base A substance that dissociates in water to form OH- ions
Arrhenius' definition of a strong base A substance that almost completely dissociates in water to form OH- ions.
Arrhenius' definition a weak base A substance that slightly dissociates in water to form OH- ions.
What is a dative or coordinate covalent bond In this bond, both electrons come from the same atom.
Bronsted Lowry definition of an acid A proton donor
Bronsted definition of a strong acid A good proton donor
Bronsted Lowry definition of a weak acid A poor proton donor
Bronsted Lowry definition of a base A proton acceptor
Bronsted Lowry definition of a strong base A good proton acceptor
Bronsted Lowry definition of a weak base A poor proton acceptor
Amphoteric Molecule Can act as either an acid or a base
Amphoteric Molecule example Water
Conjugate base an acid turns into a conjugate base when it donates a proton
Conjugate acid a base turns into a conjugate acid when it accepts a proton
Conjugate acid base pair A pair consisting of an acid and base that differ by exactly one proton
Salt The substance formed when the hydrogen ion from an acid is replaced by metal or an ammonium ion
Neutralisation the reaction between an acid and base to form salt and water
Limitations/Differences between the Arhenius Theory and Bronsted Lowry theory Arhenius' theory is limited to reactions in water. Arhenius' theory does not take the existence of the hydronium ion into account H3O.
Examples of neutralisation (1) 1. Medicine: Overeating and stress can lead to the stomach producing too much HCl. Relief is obtained from taking milk of magnesia which is an anti acid.
Examples of neutralisation (2) 2. Agriculture: Farmers spread lime (calcium oxide) on soil if it is too acidic. The lime reacts with water to form limewater (calcium hydroxide). The calcium hydroxide neutralises the acidity of the soil.
How does milk of magnesia react to neutralise stomach acids. Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + 2H2O
How does lime neutralise soil. CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 and after Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 -

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
