Acids and Bases Quiz

Acids are substances that ionize in water to give H+ ions and an anion. Bases are substances that ionize in water to give OH- (hydroxide ions) ions and a cation.

When acids and bases react, they form salt and water in a neutralization reaction. The H+ ion from the acid reacts with the OH- ion from the base to form H2O(l).

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

<p>Spectator ions are the ions that do not take part in the reaction. In this case, the spectator ions are Na+ (cation from the alkali) and Cl- (anion from the acid).</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>When the spectator ions come together, they form the salt (ionic compound) as a product of the neutralization reaction.</p> Signup and view all the answers
