Acids and Bases

Front

What are strong acids and bases?

Back

Strong acids and bases completely break apart into ions in solution, making them strong electrolytes.

Front

What is KOH classified as?

Back

KOH is classified as a base.

Front

What ions do bases release when they dissociate?

Back

Bases release hydroxide (OH-) ions when they dissociate.

Front

How can you identify a weak acid?

Back

A weak acid only partially dissociates into ions in solution.

Front

What ion is produced when NaOH dissolves, classifying it as a base?

Back

NaOH produces hydroxide ions (OH-) when it dissolves.

Front

What is the pH range of acids?

Back

The pH range of acids is from 0 to 7.

Front

What is the pH range of bases?

Back

The pH range of bases is from 7 to 14.

Front

What is a neutral solution?

Back

A neutral solution has a pH of 7, indicating equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions.

Front

What is the definition of an electrolyte?

Back

An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions in solution and conducts electricity.

Front

What is the difference between a strong electrolyte and a weak electrolyte?

Back

A strong electrolyte completely dissociates into ions, while a weak electrolyte only partially dissociates.
