When HCl dissolves in water, it acts as an acid and donates a proton to the water. HCl + H2O Cl- + H3O+ donates a proton to form accepts a proton to form
Metal oxides are bases. When oxides dissolve in water, they accept a proton from the water. O2- + H2O OH- + OH- accepts a proton to form donates a proton to form
Which one of the following reactions are ACID/BASE reactions (proton transfers)? Identify the donor (acid) and the acceptor (base). Mg+ 2H+ → Mg2+ + H2 HCO3- + H2O → CO32- + H3O+ 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O HNO3 + H2O → NO3- + H3O+ ACID BASE ACID BASE
If the acid-base reaction is an equilibrium reaction, we can identify conjugate acid-base pairs: CH3COOH + H2O CH3COO- + H3O+ ACID BASE BASE ACID
Last year you learned that when an acid reacts with a base the product is a (neutral) salt and water. This is strictly speaking not quite true, as salts can still be slightly acidic or basic. Acidic or basic salts react with water to produce H3O+ or OH- ions. CO32- + H2O → ? + OH- NH4+ + H2O → ? + H3O+ HCO3- NH3
