Chemistry Acids and Bases Test

Acids

Release H+ ions

Taste sour

React with metals

Have a pH less than 7

Turn blue litmus paper red

Bases

Release OH- ions

Taste bitter

Feel slippery

Have a pH greater than 7

Turn red litmus paper blue

Strong acids

Completely ionizes in water. The higher the concentration of H+ ions, the stronger the acid.

Strong bases

Dissociate (break apart) when in a solution. The higher the concentration of OH+ ions, the stronger the base.

Strength

How many molecules completely ionize or dissociate when dissolved in water

Concentration

How many total particled are in a solution

Weak acid

Partially ionizes in water

Weak base

Partially dissociates in water

Concentrated

Has a relatively large amount of solute particles

Dilute

Has a relatively small amount of solute particles
