What is the lowest pH to the highest pH?
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
How are strong acids converted to weaker ones?
Buffer systems. They convert strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases.
What correctly describes the corrosive nature of strong acids and strong bases?
Strong acids and strong bases are both usually corrosive.
What mixtures that can react with acids or bases to keep the pH within a particular range?
These substances are called buffers.
Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.
Why are acids and bases considered strong?
They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.
What is a Chemical compounds that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases?
buffers
Are strong acids and bases bitter?
no
What is generally true about strong bases and strong acids?
They are neutral
Do bases neutralize acids?
Bases can neutralize acids. When a strong base and acid is combined, it results in a neutralization reaction.
What are the effects of acids on bases?
Strong acids on strong bases. HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O A neutralization reaction producing a salt and water.
What are weak acids or bases that react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp or sudden changes?
Buffers.
