When water is ionized it can act as either an acid or a base true or false?

Pure water can't be ionized. To be ionized, water must contain minerals. The dissolved minerals conduct electricity, which ionizes the water: Water with a net-negative ionic charge will be an alkaline Water with a net-positive ionic charge will be an acidic In nature, the minerals dissolved in the water will have an influence on whether it is acidic or alkaline. The water's movement through ferrous rock formations (which are magnetic) will cause it to become ionized.


. In the reaction of aluminum bromide with ionized sodium bromide which compound is the Lewis acid?

Aluminum bromide is the Lewis acid in this reaction because it can accept an electron pair from the ionized sodium bromide, which acts as the Lewis base.


Ionic compound produced by reacting acid with a base?

When you combine an acid and a base in water, the negative ion of the acid and the positive ion of the base separate in the water as an ionized salt. The positive ion (H) from the acid and the negative ion (OH) from the base become water (H2O).examples:sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid:NaOH + HCl --> NaCl (salt-sodium chloride) + H2O (water)calcium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid:Ca(OH)2 +2HCl --> Ca(OH)2 (salt- calcium chloride) + 2H2O (water)


What is the general equation for a acid-base reaction?

Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.


A reaction of an acid and base will produce water and what?

An acid and a base react to form water and a salt

Why can a buffer only buffer against a small amounts of acid or base?

A strong acid and a strong base will react together to produce a neutral salt. E.g., HCl (strong acid) and NaOH (strong base) will react together to form H20 and NaCl (salt). The salt is neutral (if you dump table salt into water, the solution will be neutral) this is because the Na+ and Cl- are perfectly happy being charged atoms. If you have something that doesn't really like to be ionized, which is a weak acid or base (for example acetic acid, (vinegar) which is only 1.1% ionized (charged) in a water solution) will only be ionized if something forces it to be ionized, i.e., a strong acid or base. When there is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate salt (or weak base and its conjugate salt) a buffer is formed. This is due to the fact that if you add some strong acid it will simply react with the conjugate salt, and if you add some strong base it will react with the weak acid. This is how they "buffer solutions" by keeping things pretty balanced. So to answer your question, a buffer must contain something that is only weakly reactive, and can react further when the need is present. A strong acid/base will totally react, so there is nothing left over to do any buffering.

Explains water's role in acid-base reactions?

water is responsible for ionization of acid and base, without water the terms acid and base are meaningless.

When water is added to a strong acid or base the acid or base becomes less dilute?

When water is added to a strong acid or base, the concentration of the acid or base decreases because water dilutes the solution. This results in a less concentrated solution of the acid or base.


What is the general form for the simplest type of acid base reaction?

Acid + base salt + water


Is water in acid or base?

Water is neutral, with a pH of 7. It is not an acid or a base.
