Study Notes
Acid-Base Reactions
- When an acid reacts with a base, a salt and water are always formed.
- Hydrochloric acid reacts with water to produce hydrogen ions (H+) and chloride ions (Cl-).
Acid Classification
- Acid molecules are classified as Arrhenius acids when not dissolved in water.
- An acid is defined as a substance that donates a hydrogen ion (H+) in a reaction.
Hydrogen Ions
- Hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous acids are highly reactive and will readily donate a proton.
- In a reaction where an acid donates its H+ ions, the acid is commonly referred to as a proton donor.
Acid-Base Properties
- Acids and bases are described in terms of their ability to donate or accept protons (H+ ions).
- Acids are characterized by their ability to donate H+ ions, while bases are characterized by their ability to accept H+ ions.
Acid Behavior
- When acid molecules are added to water, they dissociate into hydrogen ions (H+) and negatively charged ions.
- An acid can be defined as a substance that releases H+ ions in aqueous solutions.
- A hydrogen ion (H+) in aqueous acids is a positively charged ion formed when an acid donates a proton.
Acid-Base Reaction Products
- The reaction between an acid and a base always forms a salt and water.
