Acids and Bases (Grade 11 NSC Matric Physical Sciences): Flashcards

Proton donor (gives away $\text{H}^+$ ions)

Proton acceptor (takes up $\text{H}^+$ ions)

Increases $\text{H}_3\text{O}^+$ concentration in water

Increases $\text{OH}^-$ concentration in water

Can react as either an acid or a base

Can act as proton donor or proton acceptor

Acid with more than one proton available to donate

Pairs formed when acids lose or bases gain protons

Can act as acid or base depending on other reactant

$\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$, $\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4$
