Rabies is a very serious viral infection that targets the brain and nervous system. You can catch rabies if you are bitten by an infected animal and haven't been vaccinated. It's almost always fatal once symptoms develop, but can be prevented if treatment is given promptly after exposure.
**The pH scale is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration. It spans from 0 to 14 with the middle point (pH 7) being neutral (neither acidic or basic). Any pH number greater than 7 is considered a base and any pH number less than 7 is considered an acid. 0 is the strongest acid and 14 is the strongest base.
- OH-accepted proton, it is a base. - An acid is changed into a base and a base is changed into an acid. - These pairs of acids and bases are called conjugate acid-base pairs. - A conjugate acid-base pair differ from each other only by a proton. WEAK ACIDS AND BASES For weak acids and bases, the concentration of acid (base) is not the concentration of [H + ] ([OH - ]). Weak Acids Dissociated ions are in equilibrium with undissociated molecule.
