Acids and Bases

Front

What is the pH range of acids?

Back

Acids have a pH range from 0 to 6.

Front

What is the pH of pure water?

Back

The pH of pure water is 7, making it a neutral substance.

Front

What is the pH range of bases?

Back

Bases have a pH range from 8 to 14.

Front

What ion is more present in a basic solution?

Back

In a basic solution, the OH- ion is more present.

Front

What is a strong acid?

Back

A strong acid is one that completely dissociates in water, resulting in a low pH (close to 0).

Front

What is a weak acid?

Back

A weak acid partially dissociates in water, resulting in a higher pH than strong acids.

Front

What is a strong base?

Back

A strong base completely dissociates in water, resulting in a high pH (close to 14).

Front

What is a weak base?

Back

A weak base partially dissociates in water, resulting in a lower pH than strong bases.

Front

What happens to the pH when an acid is added to water?

Back

The pH decreases, making the solution more acidic.

Front

What happens to the pH when a base is added to water?

Back

The pH increases, making the solution more basic.
