    This document discusses acids and bases and acid-base reactions. It defines acids as substances that donate protons and bases as substances that accept protons. An example acid-base reaction shown is an acid dissolving in water to form ions through an ionization reaction. Acids and bases also differ in strength, with strong acids and bases completely ionizing in water and weak ones only partially ionizing. Indicators can be used to determine if a substance is acidic or basic.

    ACIDS AND BASES
    Acid: A substance capable of donating a proton.
    Base: A substance capable of accepting a proton.

    Example of an acid-base reaction:


    Acid + Water = Ions form Ionization reaction

    There exists difference strengths of acids and bases (i.e. strong & weak)
    o Strong acids or bases completely ionizes in water
    o Weak acids or bases partially ionizes in water

    Indicators can be used to determine whether a substance is acidic or basic
