Arrhenius concept
Acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution, while bases produce hydroxide ions.
Bronsted Lowry model
An acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor
Hydronium ion
H3O+
Conjugate base
Everything remaining of an acid after proton is donated
Conjugate acid
New substance formed after base accepts proton
Conjugate acid-base pair
Two substances related to each other by the donating and accepting of a single proton
Acid dissociation constant
Ka
Strong acid
Equilibrium lies far to the right
Weak acid
Equilibrium is far left
Diprotic acid
Acid that has two acidic protons
Monoprotic acid
Acid having one acidic proton
Amphoteric
Can act as either base or acid
Amphoteric substance
A substance that can act as either base or acid
Auto ionization
The transfer of a proton from one molecule of a substance to another molecule or the same substance
Ion/dissociation product
Kw ( must = 10x10^-14 in any aqueous solution at 25°C for the product of H3O+/H+ and OH-
