What is a Bronsted-Lowry base?

Back

A Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts protons (H+ ions).

Front

What is a Bronsted-Lowry acid?

Back

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates protons (H+ ions).

Front

What is the relationship between acids and H+ concentration?

Back

Acids have a greater concentration of H+ ions compared to bases.

Front

What is the relationship between bases and OH- concentration?

Back

Bases have a greater concentration of OH- ions compared to acids.

Front

What does it mean if [H+] < [OH-]?

Back

It indicates a basic solution.

Front

What does it mean if [H+] = [OH-]?

Back

It indicates a neutral solution.

Front

What is the pH scale?

Back

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

Front

What is a strong acid?

Back

A strong acid is one that completely dissociates in water, releasing all of its H+ ions.

Front

What is a weak acid?

Back

A weak acid is one that partially dissociates in water, releasing some but not all of its H+ ions.

Front

What is a strong base?

Back

A strong base is one that completely dissociates in water, releasing all of its OH- ions.
