Acid And Bases Flashcards
What theories do we have about acids + bases
Bronzed lowry+ Lewis
What is the definition of bl acid
Proton donor
What does HCL donate
H+ ions
What does Socium hydroxide accept
H+
What can act as a h+ donor
Nitric acid donating to ammonia
What do all bl acids contain
A proton
What does all bronsted lowry bases contain
Lone pair of electrons or double bond
Cannot be positive
What can morphine act as chemically
Acidic and basic
What are amino acids known as
Zwitterions
In an amino acid what is the base and what is the acid
Base - amine
Carboxylic acid - acid
How do we determine acid strength
Looking at tendency of donating proton , dissociating quickly
How is acidity measured
Equilibrium constant
How do we determine if a base is strong/ weak
How readily it can accept proton
List some properties of acids
Conduct electricity in water
React with metals to make h2 gas
Indicators
React with hydroxide to form water and salt
How does weak/strong acid affect conductivity
Stronger acid =stronger conductivity
List properties of bases
In water conduct electricity
React with acids to neutralise
How do you calculate Keq
Products / starting materials
What is pka
Negative log of ka
How do you calculate -logka
Negative log on calculator
How do you know if a base/acid strong or weak USING NUMBERS
5 strong
50 weak
Define nucleophile
Lewis base Electron pair donor
Define electrophile
Lewis base electron pair acceptor
