Acids and bases can conduct electricity because they release ions in solution.
Acids release hydrogen ions, H+(aq)
Bases release hydroxide ions, OH-(aq)
What else can I help you with?
What is a group of compounds that release ions when dissolved in water called?
A group of compounds that release ions when dissolved in water is called an electrolyte. Electrolytes are essential for various physiological functions in the body and are commonly found in substances like salts, acids, and bases.
Do strong acids or bases react more easily with materials than do weak acids and bases?
Strong acids and bases react more easily with materials than weak acids and bases because they completely dissociate into ions, making them more reactive. Weak acids and bases only partially dissociate, limiting their reactivity with materials.
Any compound that increases the number of hydroxide ions when dissolved in water bases turn red litmus paper blue and react with acids to form salt?
Bases are substances that increase the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) in water. They turn red litmus paper blue and react with acids to form salts through a neutralization reaction. This is a characteristic property of bases.
What disintergrates silicon?
Silicon can be broken down or dissolved by strong acids, such as hydrofluoric acid, or by reacting with strong bases, such as sodium hydroxide. Extreme heat or exposure to certain reactive gases like chlorine can also disintegrate silicon.
MgCl2 plus H2O why is it a good conductor?
Because this reaction results in a solution containing free ions; a strong strong acid (due to the Cl) and a strong base (due to the Mg). Strong acids and strong bases are good conductors. (Do note that the general solution is pretty much neutral, just slightly acidic as Cl forms a stronger acid than the base formed by Mg) Regards, Zananok
Why are weak acids and weak bases poor electrical conductors?
Weak acids and weak bases are poor electrical conductors because they only partially ionize in water, resulting in a lower concentration of ions compared to strong acids and bases. The fewer ions present means a lower electrical conductivity.
Could any of the properties of acids and bases be conductors of electricity?
Yes, acids and bases that ionize in water can conduct electricity. When dissolved in water, acids release hydrogen ions (H+) and bases release hydroxide ions (OH-), which allow for the flow of electric current. Strong acids and bases are better conductors than weak ones.
When dissolved in water are acids release or are bases release?
acids are released
What characteristics do acids and bases have in common?
Acids and bases are both electrolytes that dissociate into ions in solution, and they both can react with each other to form water and a salt. They also both can conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
When dissolved in water acids release and bases release .?
acids release hydrogen ions bases release hydroxide ions
When dissolved in water acids release and bases release?
When dissolved in water, acids release hydrogen ions (H+) and bases release hydroxide ions (OH-). Acids increase the concentration of H+ ions in solution, while bases increase the concentration of OH- ions. This difference in ion release is what contributes to the unique properties of acids and bases in aqueous solutions.
Do acids create hydroxide ions when dissolved in water?
No, acids do not create hydroxide (OH-) ions when dissolved in water. Acids create Hydrogen (H+) ions when dissolved in water.Bases create hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.
What ion does acid produce when dissolved in water?
Acids produce hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. This is what gives acids their characteristic sour taste and ability to react with bases.
Which bases are the best conductors of electricity?
Ionic compounds are better conductors of electricity when dissolved in water, as they dissociate into charged ions that can carry electric current. Among the bases, strong bases like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) are better conductors than weak bases like ammonia (NH3).
Compare acids and bases based on the ion produced when each compound is dissolved in water?
Acids- number of hydrogen ions increases when dissolved in water. Bases- number of hydroxide ions increases when dissolved in water I had the same question, but I had it for homework (:
Is any pure liquid a conductor of electricity?
No, pure liquids are typically poor conductors of electricity because they do not contain free ions or electrons needed for the flow of electric current. However, some liquids can become conductive when certain substances are dissolved in them, such as salts or acids.
Are acids and bases are conductors of electricity they are referred to as what?
Not necessarily. Acid is just used for very important research and experiments. And bases are used for bases. Sorry if I'm not helpful. :(
