Acid-Base Reactions (brian)

strong acids & strong bases:
-strong acids(SA) dissociate to produce H+ ions
-stong bases(SB) dissociate to produce OH- ions
-when a SA and SB mix they form water and an ionic salt
-total volume changes
NaOH + HCl > NaCl + H2O

pH & pOH:
-pH is a measure of the hydrogen ions present in a solution
pH = -log[H+]
-pOH is a measure of hydroxide ions present in a solution
pOH = -log[OH-]
