What donates H plus ions to solutions?
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, anything that donates H+ (or protons) atoms to a solution is an ACID. Hence this defines an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor.
What are Monoprotic acid?
An acid is a substance that will release hydrogen ions (H+) to water or to bases. A monoprotic acid is an acid that has only one hydrogen ion to release per molecule.
What is Arrhenius acid base concept?
Acids are substances that will donate a proton, while bases are substances that will accept a proton.
Does diluting an acid give a more concentrated solution?
no it doesn't.dissolving or making a solution of an acid makes a more dilute solution of the acid.
How could you produce water from an acid solution?
Mix it with a base. The H+ ions in acids react with the OH- ions in bases to make H20.
Is detergent solution is a acid or base or neutral?
detergent solution may be less than pH 7 like most anionic surfactants or alkaline like cationic OR amphteric(balanced pH in solution.)
Compare and contrast acid and bases?
Acid and Bases are different by its concentration of Hydrogen and Hydroxide. Acid is any compound that forms H+ ions in solution and base is a compound that forms OH- ions in solution. But Both are compounds forming a type of ion in a solution.
What are the safety measures in handling acids and bases?
Always wear Neoprene gloves to handle the acid or base. Always pour acid into solution not solution into acid.
What does an ion have to do with acids and bases?
The quantity of hydrogen ions in a solution indicates whether the solution is an acid or a base.
Are hydronium ions contributed to a solution by a base or acid?
Acids have more hydronium than hydroxide. Bases are the reverse of that.
What happens if phenolphthalein solution is added in hydrochloric acid?
Because Hydrochloric acid is an acid, phenolphthalein would be clear. In bases Phenolphtlalein becomes pink
What is the opposite of a strong acid?
It depends which part of the stong acid concept you are concerned with: A weak acid is the opposite of a "strong" acid A strong base is the opposite of a strong "acid" A neutral solution is the oppposte of a strong acid (a reactive solution)
Why is a concentrated acid not strong?
strong acids and bases dissociate completely; weak acids and bases dissociate only partially. In contrast, the term dilute and concentrated are used to indicate the consentration of a solution, which is the amount of acid or base dissolved in the solution. It is possible to have dilute solutions of strong acids and bases and concentrated solutions of weak acids and bases.
How do you make pH 9 buffer solution?
You can create a ph 9 buffer solution by mixing together a slightly stronger acid and a base, as the acid will override the bases basic functions and great an acidic solution.
If a solution has a pH of 9 is it an acid or base?
It is a base. Acids = 1 to 7, bases = 7 to 14.
How do you make a neutral solution?
What determines if a solution is neutral is the ions present in solution. Something can be acidic, basic, or neutral. A typical acidic solution has H+ present in solution. An example of this is hydrochloric acid (HCl), which is a very strong acid. A typical basic solution has hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution. An example of this is NaOH. A neutral solution has ions that exhibit no acid/base properties. One of these is sodium chloride (NaCl). Group 1 ions do not exhibit any acid base properties, such as Na+. The conjugate bases of strong acids and the conjugate acids of strong bases also do not exhibit acid and base qualities. Cl- is the conjugate base of the strong acid HCl. There for a solution of NaCl is neutral or a pH of 7. So what determines if a solution is neutral are the ions present in solution. Group 1 ions are always neutral. Some other ions that are always neutral are Cl-, I-, Br-, and SO42- . These are all conjugate bases of strong acids.
What is a substance that neutralizes small amounts of acids or bases?
Acids are neutralized with bases and bases are neutralized with acids; buffers are useful for the stabilization of the pH of a solution. Don't confuse between (quasi)stabilization of the pH of a solution and the neutralization of a solution.
