Acids And Bases Study Review
acid - Ans -a substance that dissolves in water to produce Hydrogen (H+) ions
base - Ans -a substance that dissolves in water to produce hydroxide (OH-) ions
pH scale - Ans -a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution (scale from 0 to 14)
indicator - Ans -a substance that changes color depending on whether it is an acid or
base.
salt - Ans -an ionic substance produced from an acid by neutralization with a base
neutralization reaction - Ans -acid and base produce salt and water
pH paper - Ans -red paper that turns blue or blue paper that turns red
corrosive - Ans -to "eat their way through" clothing, dangerous to the skin, and able to
attack stonework and metals.
weak acid - Ans -produces fewer hydrogen ions
weak base - Ans -produces few hydroxide ions
strong acid - Ans -produces a lot of hydrogen ions
