What is an Acid? |
Acids are chemical agents that release hydrogen ions when added to water. Their chemistry makes them one of the most important classes of molecules in nature and science. |
|
|
Hydrobromic Acid |
HBr |
|
|
Hydrochloric Acid |
HCl |
|
|
Hydroiodic Acid |
HI |
|
|
Nitric Acid |
HNO3 |
|
|
Nitrous Acid |
HNO2 |
|
|
Acetic Acid |
HC2H3O2 |
|
|
Sulfuric Acid |
H2SO4 |
|
|
Phosphoric Acid |
H3PO4 |
|
|
Combustion |
A rapid action with oxygen that releases energy in the form of heat/light. |
|
|
Complete Combustion |
Combustion that occurs when there is plenty of oxygen. it produces carbon dioxide and water vapour. |
|
|
Corrosion |
The breakdown of metals due to their reaction with other chemicals |
|
|
Endothermic |
a chemical reaction that absorbs energy |
|
|
Endothermic |
a chemical reaction that releases energy |
|
|
Incomplete combustion |
combustion that occurs when oxygen is limited. it produces carbon and carbon monoxide. It does not release as much heat or light as complete combustion. |
|
|
What makes a base a base? |
When a hydrogen ion is released, the solution becomes acidic. When a hydroxide ion is released, the solution becomes basic. Those two special ions determine whether you are looking at an acid or a base. |
|
|
Neutralization |
Neutralization is the reaction between an acid and a base, producing a salt and neutralized base; for example, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide form sodium chloride and water: |
|
|
Monoprotic acids |
Monoprotic acids are those acids that are able to donate one proton per molecule during the process of dissociation |
|
|
Polyprotic acids |
Polyprotic acids, also known as polybasic acids, are able to donate more than one proton per acid molecule, in contrast to monoprotic acids that only donate one proton per molecule. |
|
|
Dissociation |
A general process in which molecules separate or split into smaller particles such as atoms, ions or radicals, usually in a reversible manner. |
