Define Properties of Acid and Bases Flashcards

What do you know about the properties of acids and bases? Bases change the color of litmus from red to blue, and they are bitter to the taste. Bases lose their basicity when mixed with acids. Acids change from blue to red, and acids lose their acidity when combined with bases. Read and study these informative flashcards and learn more about acids and bases. Then try this quiz to see what you learned.

What are the properties of acids?
Acids were known to have a sour taste when dissolved in water,
react with metals such as zinc to prduce hydrogen gas,
and change the color litmus dye from blue to red.
What are the properties of bases?
Bases were known to have a bitter taste,
have a slippery feel,
react with acids to neutralize their characteristic properties
and change the color litmus dye from red to blue.
According to the Arrhenius concept, what is a substance that produces hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?
Acid
According to the arrhenius concept, what is a substance that produced hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissovled in water.
Base
HCL (Hydrogen Nonmetal)

HCL--> H+ (+) Cl-

H2SO4--> 2H+ (+) SO4 (2-)
Bases are writen as:

Ca(OH)2 --> Ca 2+ (+) 2OH-

NaOH--> Na+ (+) OH-
According to the Bronsted-Lowry Concept, what is a substance that can donate a proton to another substance?


HCl (Acid) (+) H20 (base-proton acceptor) --> Cl-(cONJUGATE BASE) (+) H30+ (CONJUGATE ACID)
Acid
According to the Bronsted-Lowry Concept, what is a substance that can ccept a proton from some other substance?
Base
What do acids, for example like HCl, always produce?
Conjugate base
What do bases, such as H20, always produce?
Conjugate acid
How do Conjugate Acid Base pair differ?
Conjugate Acid Base pair differ by one H atom.
HCl - Cl-

H20 - H3O+
Note that it is the members of each acid-base pair that differ only by what?; one is a ________________ and the other is a __________________.
Single proton (H+)
