Acids/ BASES • Acids • When dissolved in water, it will ionize into positively charged hydronium ions (H3O+) and negatively charged ions of some other element • Bases • Also known as an alkali • When dissolved in water, ionizes into negatively charged hydroxide (OH-) ions and positively charged ions of a metal
Buffers • Compounds that maintain the required pH, even during adversity
Neutralization and salts Ex: Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide = sodium chloride and water ACID + BASE = salt and water
