Neutralization Reaction

Mr. Anderson explains neutralization reactions, focusing on the Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory. He highlights hydrogen's role and water's amphoteric nature, providing examples like acetic acid and hydrochloric acid. The video discusses the strength of acids and bases, emphasizing the importance of proton transfer in defining acids and bases. Key takeaways include identifying acids and bases and understanding their strengths.

What is the charge of a hydrogen ion?

• Neutral

• Variable

• Positive

• Negative

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, what does an acid do?

• Forms a salt

• Accepts a proton

• Donates a proton

• Releases electrons

In a neutralization reaction, what is formed when an acid and a base react?

• Only a salt

• Only water

• A salt and water

• A conjugate acid and a conjugate base

What role does water play in the reaction between acetic acid and water?

• Water acts as an acid

• Water acts as a base

• Water is a spectator ion

• Water is not involved

What happens to hydrochloric acid when it is added to water?

• It forms a precipitate

• It partially dissociates

• It completely dissociates

• It remains unchanged

Which of the following is considered a medium acid?

• Acetic acid

• Hydrochloric acid

• Nitric acid

• Sulfuric acid

What is the relationship between the strength of an acid and the strength of a base?

• They are unrelated

• They are inversely proportional

• They are directly proportional

• They are equal
