Acid and bases

Basic

A solution is basic if it releases hydroxide ions when added to water. These solutions are said to be alkaline and are usually slippery.

Acidic

A solution when disolved in water releases excess Hydrogen ions (+)

Solutions with a pH less than 7 are

Acidic

Solutions with a Ph greater than 7 are

Basic

Neutralization

Chemical reaction between an acid and base that takes place in water

Solutions with a pH of 7

H+ ions , OH H+ -> water neutral

Strong acid

HCL

EXAMPLE REACTION

HCL-> H+1 Cl+

If you were to add equal amounts of a strong acid and weak base, what will happen?

It will completely dissolve in water

Define pH

Measure of concentration of H+ ions in it

Weak base

NH4OH

Strong base

Na(OH)

neutral

Pure water, equal concentration

What's the difference between a strong and weak acids

Strong acid, the acid completely dissolved in water. Weak acid, the acid doesn't completely dissolve in water.

what's the difference between a strong and weak base

Strong base dissolved in water, nearly all acid molecules dissociate into ions. Weak acid dissolves in water, only a small fraction of molecules dissolved in water

What is universal indicator paper

Undergoes the change in color

If you were to add a small amount of strong acid to a large amount of a weak base, what will happen

Will completely dissolve

Weak acid

acetic acid
