Back

A substance that donates H+ ions in a solution.

Front

What is a base?

Back

A substance that accepts H+ ions or donates OH- ions in a solution.

Front

What happens to the pH as the concentration of H+ ions increases?

Back

The pH decreases, indicating a stronger acid.

Front

What is the relationship between pH and acidity?

Back

Lower pH values indicate higher acidity.

Front

What is a neutral solution?

Back

A solution with a pH of 7, where H+ and OH- concentrations are equal.
