TERM 1
What are the properties of an acid?
DEFINITION 1
conducts electricity, 2. donates H+. - Has an H+ to give away
before reaction. The more H+ relea sed the higher the Ka = better
conductivity = stronger acid
3. pH is less than 74. causes indicator s to change color(e.g. litmus
paper) blue to red5. reacts with base s to form water and salt6.
taste sour7. Corrode metals8. React with active metals below it on
Table N to produce H2 gas
TERM 2
What are properties of bases?
DEFINITION 2
conduct electricity
Stronger base = more released OH- = higher Kb = better
conductivity (e-)
blue to red for indicators, litmus paper
tastes bitter
reacts with acids to form water and salt
feels slippery
caustic (burns skin)
pH greater than 7
TERM 3
What are electrolytes?
DEFINITION 3
substanceswhich dissociate into ions when placed in
water.
include all ionic and polar covalent compounds
count "double" when examining effect on boiling point
and melting point (e.g. 1 mole NaCl dissociates into 2
moles of ions)
dissociated ions give the solution the ability to conduct
electricity
TERM 4
Conceptual
DEFINITION 4
- like an opinion- based on analysis or interpretation(e.g. HCl
dissociates in water).
TERM 5
Operational
DEFINITION 5
- factual- based on observable properties(e.g. HCl dissolved
in water allows the solution to conduct electricity e-)tip: think
cause and effect
