What do bases form when dissolved in water?

Back

Bases do not form hydrogen ions (H⁺); they form hydroxide ions (OH^-).

What are the products of a neutralization reaction?

Back

The products of a neutralization reaction are typically a salt and water, not acids and bases.

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution is one in which no more solute can dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

What is an example of a dilute solution?

Back

Weak tea is an example of a dilute solution.

Front

What factors affect the solubility of a substance?

Back

The factors that affect solubility include the type of solvent, temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute.

Front

What is the definition of an acid?

Back

An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions (H⁺ ) in a solution.

Front

What is the definition of a base?

Back

A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions (H⁺ ) or donates hydroxide ions (OH^-) in a solution.

Front

What is the pH scale used for?

Back

The pH scale is used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic), with 7 being neutral.

What happens to the pH of a solution when an acid is added?

Back

The pH of a solution decreases (becomes more acidic) when an acid is added.

What happens to the pH of a solution when a base is added?

Back

The pH of a solution increases (becomes more basic) when a base is added.
