Acids and Redox (OCR A-Level Chemistry A): Flashcards

Hydrogen ions ($\text{H}^+$) or protons

Complete dissociation; releases all H as $\text{H}^+$ ions

$\text{HCl}$, $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$, $\text{HNO}_3$

Partial dissociation; releases small proportion of H

Neutralises acid to form salt

Base that dissolves in water, releases $\text{OH}^-$ ions

Salt + water

Salt + water + carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$)

$\text{H}^+ + \text{OH}^- \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O}$

Chloride, sulfate, nitrate
