Question Answer
Acids turn blue litmus Red
Acids ___ bases neutralise
3 lab examples of acids HCl (Hydrochloric acid) H2SO4 (Sulfuric acid ) HNO3 (Nitirc acid)
Acids can be ____, _____ or ____ monobasic, dibasic, or tribasic
3 everyday examples of acids CH3COOH (vinegar) Lemon juice (Citric acid) Car batteries ( dilute sulfuric acid)
Everyday application of the neutralisation of a base by an acid Indigestion ( excess acid in the stomach) magnesium hydroxide / sodium hydrogencarbonate neutralises the HCl
Bee stings are ____ and can be treated with _______ acidic - sodium hydrogen carbonate
Lime's use A base (calcium hydroxide) is used in agriculture to neutralise acidic soil.
Bases turn red litmus Blue
Bases _____ acids neutralise
3 examples of lab bases NaOH (sodium hydroxide) Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate) NH3 (ammonia)
3 examples of household bases NH3 (Ammonia for cleaning) NaOH (Sodium hydroxide for oven cleaners) laxitive (Magnesium hydroxide)
A base that dissolves in water and an example Alkali Sodium hydroxide (solution is said to be alkaline)
When an acid reacts with a base A salt is formed
An Arrhenius acid A substance that dissociates in aqueous solution forming hydrogen ions.
An Arrhenius base Is a substance that dissociates in aqueous solution forming hydroxide ions.
A Bronsted-Lowry base A proton acceptor
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is A proton donor
The stronger / weaker the acid The more / less readily it donates a proton
The stronger / weaker the base The more / less readily its accepts a proton
Advantages of the Bronsted-Lowry theory Deals with reactions outside water Explains how substances can be amphoteric Shows how the hydronium ion is formed when an acid reacts with water
An amphoteric substance Can act as an acid with a base and as a base with an acid.
Conjugate acids and bases Differ by the presence or absence of a proton
A conjugate acid is formed when A proton is donated to a Bronsted-Lowry base
A conjugate base is formed when a proton is removed from a Bronsted-Lowry acid
A conjugate acid-base pair is an acid and a base that differ by the presence or absence of a proton.
The stronger the acid the ____ its ______ weaker its conjugate base
The stronger the base the ___ its_____ weaker its conjugate acid
