What else can I help you with?
How do the characteristic of bases differ form those of acids?
Bases tend to recieve an H+ ion in a titration, and acids tend to give an H+ ion in a titration. Bases have a pH greater than 7 and acids have a pH less than 7.
What common ions are most often found in acids and bases?
Common ions found in acids include H+ (hydrogen ion) and in bases, common ions include OH- (hydroxide ion) and metal ions like Na+ (sodium ion) and K+ (potassium ion).
Why are bases described as opposites to acids?
Bases have the ion OH- and acids the ion H+; the reaction between acids and bases is called neutralization and the product is a salt. Basic solutions have a pH over 7 and acidic solutions have a pH under 7.
How can acids be distinguished from from bases?
Acids are with a pH of less than 7, and bases are when something has a pH of more than 7. Basic solutions are such because of the Hydroxide Ion concentration ([OH-]) and acids are such due to the hydrogen ion concentration (Hydronium Ion) which is [H3O+] or you may see it as just [H+].
What ions do you see in nearly every acid and base?
Acids produce the H+ ion, and bases produce the OH- ion.
Why are bases sometimes describes as the opposite of acids?
Bases are the opposite of acids due to the fact they are a hydrogen ion acceptor and an acid is a hydrogen ion donor. In the many definitions of bases and acids, bases do the opposite of what acids do. -- In the Lewis definition, acids are electron pair acceptors while bases are electron pair donors. -- In the Bronsted-Lowry definition, acids are substances that donate protons while bases are substances that accepts protons. -- In practicality, acids lower the pH of a solution and bases increase the pH of a solution.
What general conclusions can you draw about the hydrogen ion concentration in many acids and bases found in the home?
In acids found in the home, the hydrogen ion concentration is typically higher, resulting in a lower pH. In contrast, bases found in the home have lower hydrogen ion concentrations, leading to a higher pH. This difference in hydrogen ion concentration accounts for the distinctive sour taste of acids and slippery feel of bases.
What type of ions do acids have more of while bases have very few of these types of ions?
Acids releases in water ion H+.
What ion is given off by acids?
Hydrogen ions are present in acids, hydroxide ions are present in bases.
What ion produce in base solution?
All acids contain a hydrogen ion, H+. All bases contain a hydroxide ion, OH-
Conjugated acids and bases of water?
The conjugate acid of water is the hydronium ion (H3O+) and the conjugate acid of water is the hydroxide ion (OH-).
What is an ion found in all acids?
Hydrogen ions (H+) are found in all acids. They are responsible for giving acids their characteristic sour taste and ability to react with bases.
