Document Summary
Base sour taste turns litmus red some metals dissolve in acid biving off h2 gas slippery to touch bitter taste turns litmus blue fatty substances dissolve in base eg: vinegar, citric acid eg: soaps. An acid that dissolves in water releasing h+ ions. H+ is a hydrogen atom that has lost an electron. Since a hydrogen atom has 1 electron and. 1 proton, then h+ is simply a proton. A base that dissolves in water releasing oh- ions. Naoh(s) na+ usually ionic substances (aq) + oh- (aq) Allows for only one kind of base, the hydroxide ion. This does not account for why nh3, ammonia, forms a basic solution. These definitions apply only in the case of aqueous solutions. All arrhenius acids and bases are also br nsted-lowry acids and bases. Any chemical reaction involving a br nsted -lowry acid must also involve a br nsted- Proton donation cannot occur unless a proton acceptor is present.
