H2SO4
Weak Acids
Everything but:
HCl
HBr
HI
HClO4
HNO3
H2SO4
Strong Bases
LiOH NaOH KOH RbOH CsOH Ca(OH)2 Sr(OH)2 Ba(OH)2
Weak Bases
Everything but: LiOH NaOH KOH RbOH CsOH Ca(OH)2 Sr(OH)2 Ba(OH)2
Props. of Acids
H+ > OH- Electrolyte Sour Litmus: Red REACTS WITH MOST METALS TO PRODUCE H2 (HYDROGEN GAS)
Props. of Bases
H+ < OH- Electrolyte Bitter Slippery Does NOT react with metals Litmus: Blue
Bronsted Lowry Acid
Hydrogen ion donor
Bronsted Lowry Base
Hydrogen ion acceptor
Conjugate Acid-Base Pair
Differ by only one hydrogen
Amphoteric
Acts as both an acid or base
Ex: Water
Monoprotic and Polyprotic Acids
Mono: acid with 1 proton to donate: HCl
Poly: acid with more than 1 proton to donate: H3PO4
Strong Acids’ Properties
Completely transfer hydrogen ion to water
Fully dissociates
Weak Acids’ Properties
Partially transfer hydrogen ion to water
Partially dissociates
Equilibrium constant Ka
Provides measure of the degree of ionization of the acid
Larger Ka, stronger the acid
Don’t include solids/liquids
Equilibrium Constant Kb
Provides a measure of the degree of ionization of the base
Larger the Kb the stronger the base
