Acid and Base Reactions Flashcards
1
Q
Bronsted Acid
A
Proton donor
2
Q
Bronsted Base
A
Proton acceptor
3
Q
Lewis Acid`
A
Electron acceptor
4
Q
Lewis Base
A
Electron donor
5
Q
Mechanism arrows
A
curved arrows that show the movement of electrons
6
Q
Electron source
A
lone pair or pi bond
7
Q
Electron sink
A
Partial positive or positive charge
8
Q
Where does the equilibrium lie in an acid/base reaction?
A
It lies on the side with the weaker acid. Use pkas to determine weaker acid
9
Q
Steps to solve an Acid-Base Reaction problem
A
- Determine pkas
- Label acid and base on reactant side
- Draw the products.
- Draw mechanism arrows
- Label conjugate base and acid on product side.
- Circle where the equilibrium lies (weaker acid)
