⚗️Acids have a hydrogen in front of them, while bases have a hydroxide ion.
🔬Strong acids and bases ionize completely, while weak acids and bases only partially ionize.
🌡️The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
🧪The Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry definitions are used to describe acids and bases.
📈Increased hydrogen or hydroxide concentration leads to greater acidity or basicity.
What is the difference between strong and weak acids?
—Strong acids ionize completely, while weak acids only partially ionize.
How are acids and bases defined?
—Acids are substances that donate protons, while bases are substances that accept protons.
What is the pH scale?
—The pH scale is used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution.
What are some examples of strong acids and bases?
—Examples of strong acids include hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. Examples of strong bases include sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
How do hydrogen and hydroxide concentrations affect acidity and basicity?
—Increased hydrogen concentration leads to greater acidity, while increased hydroxide concentration leads to greater basicity.
