Front

What does a Bronsted-Lowry Base do?

Back

Accepts H+ from another substance.

Front

What is a conjugate acid-base pair?

Back

Two species that differ by the presence or absence of a hydrogen ion (H+).

Front

What is the pH scale?

Back

A scale used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic).

Front

What is the relationship between pH and H+ concentration?

Back

As pH decreases, H+ concentration increases, indicating a more acidic solution.

Front

What is a neutralization reaction?

Back

A reaction between an acid and a base that produces water and a salt.

Front

What is the role of water in acid-base reactions?

Back

Water can act as both an acid and a base, depending on the substances it interacts with.

Front

What is the difference between strong and weak acids?

Back

Strong acids completely ionize in solution, while weak acids only partially ionize.
