Homework help on bases and acids?

Question

1. what ions do bases produce?

2.How can we neutralize a base?

3.what are the products of a neutralization reaction?

4. what are the properties of acids?

5. what are the properties of bases?

Hope you can help!!!

Answer 1

I don't know what your teacher is looking for, but these are answers.

1. hydroxyl,  O-H

2 An acid would be one way... other ways are with proteins or fats that will 'react' with the base.

3. If you use an acid, it would be H-O-H, commonly known as water. With fat, you would get "soap."

4.Are generally sour in taste, Strong or concentrated acids often produce a stinging feeling on mucous membranes, Change the color of pH indicators as follows: turn blue litmus and methyl orange red, turn phenolphthalein colorless, React with metals to produce a metal salt and hydrogen, React with metal carbonates to produce water, CO2 and a salt, React with a base to produce a salt and water, react with a metal oxide to produce water and a salt, Conduct electricity, depending on the degree of dissociation, Produce solvonium ions, such as hydronium (H3O+) ions in water, (from Wikipedia)  What does he want?

5. Bitter taste (opposed to sour taste of acids and sweetness of aldehydes and ketones), Slimy or soapy feel on fingers, due to saponification of the lipids in human skin, Concentrated or strong bases are caustic (corrosive) on organic matter and react violently with acidic substances, Aqueous solutions or molten bases dissociate in ions and conduct electricity, Reactions with indicators: bases turn red litmus paper blue and phenolphthalein red (from wikipedia)

Answer 2

1. OH- ions

2. By adding acid

3. acid+base -> salt+water

4. Acids H+ donor

5. Bases are H+ acceptor
