Acid and Bases Flashcards
What is a dative bond
A covalent bond in which one of the atoms supplies both of the electrons
Arrhenius acid theorie
Substance that produce H+ ions in solution
Arrhenius base theorie
Substances that produce OH- ions in solution
Bronsted lowry acid
Proton doner
Bronsted lowry base
Proton acceptor
What is ampphoteric substance?
these are substances that can react as a acid or base
Strong acid definition and example
An acid that completely dissociates in aqueous solution
-Hydrochloric acid
-Nitric acid
-Sulfuric acid
Weak acid definition and example
An acid that partially dissociates into ions in solution
-carbonic acid
-sulfours acid
What is a polyprotic acid
These have more than one ionisable proton, the protons are removed one by one instead of at once
Strong Bases
Oxides and hydroxides of group 1 metals
Weak Bases
Ammonia and amides
What is a buffer?
A solution in which the pH remains approxamatly constant when small olumes of acid/base or water are added.
A basic buffer consits of a solution of a weak base and ones of its salts
