Acids & Bases Benchmark

In order to neutralize a strong acid, add an equally as strong base. In order to neutralize a strong base, add an equally as strong acid.

How to neutralize an acid

In order to remove hydrogen ions, you can dilute the solution with water or you can add a strong base. Both will release hydrogen ions into the solution and raise the pH value of the solution and decrease the concentration of hydrogen ions. *add the strongest base you have*

How to remove hydrogen ions

You can change the concentration of hydrogen ions by diluting the solution or adding more of an acid. Add more solute Add more solvent Serial dilution

How you can change the concentration on hydrogen ions in a solution

add a base to the acid, or dilute it by taking away the hydrogen ions with water multiple times.

If you spill acid in a lab, what can you do to clean it?

liquid at room temperature clear, colorless odorless ability to take on three states ability to dilute solutions pH of 7 (neutral) release (produce) H+ ions release (produce) OH- ions

Properties of water

What happens to pH value as the hydrogen concentration increases and decreases?

As the H+ concentration increases the pH value will decrease. The stronger the concentration of hydrogen ions, the lower the value of the pH is. The lower the concentration of hydrogen ions, the higher the value of the pH is.

to release hydrogen ions in the presence of water it separates into two different ions

Definition of disassociate

compound that has a negative or positive charge

Definition of an ion

Part to whole Solute to solvent ratio The amount of hydrogen ions within a solution

Definition of concentration

the chemical properties of acids make it reactive the hydrogen ion concentration makes the chemical compound reactive the ability to be dissociate (hydrogen) in water

Properties of acids that make it reactive

it releases OH- ions (hydroxide ions)

What does a base do in reaction with water?

A neutralization reaction occurs when a base reacts with an acid. The pH moves closer to the 7 mark on the chart. the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases

What happens to concentration of hydrogen ions when bases and acids react

7 (neutral)

What is the pH of water?

0-6 acids, 7 neutral, 8-14 bases

Where acids and bases fall on the scale

pH of 3 because its a stronger acid

Which pH value has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions? pH of 9 pH of 3
