Study Notes
Acids and Bases
- Acids are substances that donate a proton (H+ ion)
- Bases are substances that accept a proton (H+ ion)
Ionization of Hydrochloric Acid
- The chemical equation for the ionization of hydrochloric acid is: HCl + H2O → H3O+ + Cl-
Electrolytes
- Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, allowing them to conduct electricity
- Examples of electrolytes include acids and bases
Identifying Acids and Bases
- An acid is a substance that increases the concentration of H+ ions in a solution
- A base is a substance that decreases the concentration of H+ ions in a solution
- Examples of acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitric acid (HNO3)
- Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)
Ionization of Sodium Hydroxide
- The chemical equation for the ionization of sodium hydroxide is: NaOH → Na+ + OH-
Commonalities between Acids and Bases
- Both acids and bases can dissociate into ions when dissolved in water
- Both acids and bases can affect the pH of a solution
