10C- calculating pH Flashcards
Define
acidic solution
Solution containing a greater concentration of hydronium ions than hydroxide ions
Define
basic solution
Solution containing a greater concentration of hydroxide ions than hydronium ions
Define
neutral solution
Solution containing an equal concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions
Define
autoionization
Process by which an atom or molecule spontaneously forms ions
Define
ionic product of water (Kw)
Expression of the concentration of ions present in water at 25 °C
Define
pH
Measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution
Define
pH scale
pH values arranged on a logarithmic scale
Ionic(n.) product
definition
-Ionic product(n.)=The product of
concentrations of ionic species
Ionisation(v.)
definition
-Ionisation(v.)=Conversion of substance into
ions.
Acidity definition
-Acidity(adj.)=level of acid in a substance
what happens when water is ionised
H2O(l) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + OH−(aq)
water acts as a weak acid and weak base
list some monoprotic acids
hydrochloric acid (HCl), ammonium (NH4), nitric acid (HNO3), ethanoic acid (CH3COOH)
HANE (hydrochloric acid, ammonium, nitric acid, ethanoic acid)
define monoprotic
species that can only donate one proton, H+, during ionisation
list some diprotic acids
sulfuric acid (H2SO4), carbonic acid (H2CO3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), selenous acid (H2SeO3)
SCHS ( sulfuric acid, carbonic acid, hydrogen sulfide, selenous acid)
define diprotic
species that can donate up to two protons, H+, during ionisation
