Acids increase the concentration of hydrogen ions, while bases decrease the concentration of hydrogen ions (by converting them to water). The acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution, therefore, can be …
There are three different ways to define a substance as an acid or base. One definition is based on the ions found in a compound (Arrhenius), another is based on how a compound behaves when added …

Three Types of Acids
Organic acids (most often called carboxylic acids), such as acetic acid, HC2H3O2.
Weak Acids weak acids are carbonic acid (H2CO3), silicic acid (H4SiO4), and various organic acids. The organic acids are discussed in Chapter 5. In addition to these aturally occurring acids, other …
Compare the values of pKa for the two conjugate acid-base pairs; the more acidic one will be dissociated. Therefore acetic acid will react with OH–. In fact all acids with a pKa < 15.7 will react …
B. The Arrhenius definition of acids and bases: 1. Acids are electrolytes (ionic substances) that when dissolved in water release hydrogen ions (H+). 2. Bases are electrolytes (ionic substances) that …
Strong acids like hydrochloric, sulphuric and nitric are fully ionised and give a pH 1 or less! and a red colour with universal indicator and litmus paper. Neutral solutions have a pH of 7.
