What are Bronsted-Lowry acids?
A substance that can donate a proton
What are Bronsted-Lowry bases?
A substance that can accept a proton
What is acid-base equilbria?
The transfer of protons
Concentrated solution defintion
Large amount of dissolved solute per unit volume
Dilute solution definition
Small amount of dissolved solute per unit volume
Strong solution definition
Fully ionises in aq solution Reaction not reversible
Weak solution definition
Partially ionises in aq solution Reaction is reversible
Acid + Base or Metal Oxide →
Acid + Base or Metal Oxide → Salt + Water
Acid + Metal carbonate →
Acid + Metal carbonate → Carbon dioxide + Salt + Water
Acid + Metal →
Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen
What is a conjugate base/acid
The substance that forms once an acid/base had donated/accepted a proton
What is a diprotic acid?
An acid with the potential to donate 2 H+ ions
Suggest why NaOH forms a solution with a higher pH than the solution formed from MgO
[1] Both produce OH- ions [2] NaOH more soluble then MgO
