acid is a proton donor
an acid is a substance which produces hydrogen ions when dissolved in water
an oxide is a compound or molecule that contains the element oxygen
the oxygen can be bounded to either a metallic element or a non-metallic element
acidic oxides- oxide of a nonmetal eg. CO2, SO2, NO2
acidic oxides react with bases to form salt and water
when acidic oxides dissolve in water they produce an acidic solution
when acidic oxidies dissolve in water they produce an acidic solution
basic oxides are oxides of a metal eg. Na2O, MgO, CaO
basic oxides react with acids to produce salt and water
when basic acids are dissolved in water they produce a basic solution
amphoteric oxides are oxides of the metals lead (Pb), aluminium (Al) and Zinc(Zn) eg. PbO, Al2O3, ZnO
amphoteric oxides react with both acids and bases
neutral oxides are oxides of nonmetals eg. NO (nitrogen monoxide), CO (carbon monoxide)
neutral oxides do not react with acids or bases
an indicator is a chemical used to determine the end point of a neutralisation reaction as well as differentiate an acid from an alkali
universal indicator solution is a mixture of indicators that change colour in the presence of different types of substances
