acids

• Strong acid

  An acid that dissociates completely in solution.
• Weak acid

  An acid that dissociates only partially in solution.
• Partial dissociation


  The splitting of some of a species in solution into aqueous ions.
• Salt

  The product of a reaction in which the H+ ions from the acid are replaced by metal or ammonium ions.
• Neutralisation

  The reaction between an acid and a base to produce a salt
• Acid is a species that releases H+ ions in aqueous solution
• Alkali

  A type of base that dissolves in water to release hydroxide ions, OH-
• Base

  A compound that neutralises an acid to form a salt
• acid + carbonates -> salt + H2O + CO2
• acids + metal oxides -> salt + H2O
• acids + alkalis -> salt + water
• acid + hydroxide -> salt + water
• ionic equation of neutralisation

  H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) -> H2O (l)
