DESCRIPTION

Acids and Bases…What’s the difference?. Acid vs Base. Acidic Solutions-contain more hydrogen ions (H + ) than hydroxide ions (OH - ) Basic solutions contain more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. Water=Neutral. There are equal amounts of hydrogen ions as hydroxide ions - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Acid vs BaseAcidic Solutions-contain more hydrogen ions (H+) than hydroxide ions (OH-)

Basic solutions contain more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions

Page 3: Acids and Bases…What’s the difference?

Water=NeutralThere are equal amounts of hydrogen ions as hydroxide ions

Note: H3O+ is the same as H+

Arrhenius AcidA substance ionizes and produces hydrogen ions

Page 5: Acids and Bases…What’s the difference?

Arrhenius BaseA substance that ionizes to produce hydroxide ions

Brønsted-Lowry AcidAn acid is something that donates a hydrogen

An acid is something that accepts a hydrogen

Brønsted-Lowry Conjugate Acids and Bases

Conjugate Acid: the species produced when a base accepts a hydrogen

Conjugate Base: the species produced when an acid donates a base

Amphoteric SubstancesWater (and other species) that can act as acids or bases

Polyprotic AcidsWhen an acid donates more than one hydrogen-one is lost at a time!
