What do Arrhenius bases produce when dissolved in water?
Hydroxide ions
Brønsted-Lowry bases behave in proton
transfer
Brønsted-Lowry bases are substances that accept
protons
What is the focus of Arrhenius bases in their definition?
Composition of substance
Neutralization reactions form
salts
and water.
True
Which reaction mechanism involves a base removing a proton from an acidic substance?
Deprotonation
Match the base definition with its focus:
Arrhenius bases ↔️ Produce OH- ions
Brønsted-Lowry bases ↔️ Accept protons
Neutralization reactions always produce
salts
and water.
True
What ions do acids donate in neutralization reactions?
H⁺
In the reaction between metal oxides and water, the metal oxide acts as the base.
True
Brønsted-Lowry bases must have a lone pair of electrons to bond with a proton.
True
Brønsted-Lowry bases focus on
proton
transfer reactions.
True
What type of reaction occurs when a base reacts with an acid?
Neutralization
In neutralization, bases react with acids to form salts and
water
Steps in the reaction mechanisms of bases:
1️⃣ Hydrolysis
2️⃣ Deprotonation
3️⃣ Neutralization
The equation for the hydrolysis of NaOH is: NaOH(s) + H₂O(l) → Na⁺(aq) +
OH⁻(aq)
Neutralization reactions are a type of double
displacement
What is the equation for the reaction between CuSO₄ and NaOH?
CuSO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)
Deprotonation involves a base removing a
proton
Bases react with water through hydrolysis to produce
OH-
ions.
True
The Arrhenius
definition
of bases focuses on their composition rather than their behavior in reactions.
True
What ions are formed when ammonia deprotonates water?
NH₄⁺ and OH⁻
What is the equation for the neutralization reaction between NaOH and HCl?
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
What is the equation for the reaction between CaO and H₂O?
CaO(s) + H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq)
Match the type of reaction with its products:
Metal oxide + Base ↔️ Salt + Water
Metal salt + Base ↔️ Insoluble metal hydroxide + Soluble salt
What is the definition of an Arrhenius base in terms of ions produced in water?
Produces hydroxide ions
What is the reaction mechanism called when a base reacts with water to produce OH- ions?
Hydrolysis
Acids donate hydrogen ions (H+), while bases accept
protons
Arrhenius bases produce hydroxide ions in aqueous
solution
Hydrolysis involves the reaction of bases with
water
The equation for the deprotonation of water by NH₃ is: NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ NH₄⁺(aq) +
OH⁻(aq)
What is the general equation for the reaction between metal oxides and bases?
Metal oxide + Base → Salt + Water
In the reaction between metal salts and bases, the base forms an insoluble metal
hydroxide
