ACIDS, BASES AND NEUTRALISATION

ACIDS, BASES AND NEUTRALISATION

1. Acids

   • Release H+ ions into solution as it dissolves in water
   • Strong acids
     • They fully dissociate in solution, releasing all H+ ions,
   • Weak Acids
     • Partially dissociate, does not completely release all H+ ions

2. Bases and Alkalines

   • Bases
     • Neutralises an acids to form salt
   • Alkaline
     • This is a base which releases hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution
   • Metal oxides, metal hydroxides, carbonates, ammonia
