5.1.3 acids bases and buffers Flashcards
Bronsted lowry acid
a substance that can donate a proton
Bronsted-Lowry base
Substance that can accept a proton
Bigger ka
stronger acid
Acid + metal
Salt + hydrogen
Acid + alkali
Salt + water
Acid + carbonate
Salt + water + co2
Ph equation
PH = -log [H+]
Strong acids
Completely dissociate in aqueous solutions
E.g. HCl, HNO3
[H+] equation from pH
[H+]= 1x10^-pH
Ionic product for water
Kw = [H+] [OH-]
Used for finding pH of pure water or pH of strong base when given [OH-]
1x10^-14 mol2 dm-6
At 25C
PH of strong base
[H+] = Kw / [OH-]
PH = - log [H+]
Weak acids
Partially dissociate in aqueous solutions
Ka = [H+][A-] / [HA]
pKa
pKa = -log [Ka]
Ka = 10^-pKa
PH of diluted strong acid
[H+] = [H+]old x (old volume/new volume)
Ph= -log [H+]
PH of diluted base
[OH-] = [OH-]old x (old volume/new volume)
[H+] = kw / OH-
PH = -log [H+]
