Acid and Bases Flashcards
Bronsted Lowry Acid
Anything that is capable of donating a proton
Bronsted Lowry Base
Any species that is capable of accepting a proton
[+1 ]requires lone pair of electrons to bond to H+
Ampotheric
Acts as both acid and base e.g- Water
Strong acid
good proton donor
HCL,HBr, HI,
Weak acid
poor proton donor
Strong base
good proton acceptor
e.g- Hydroxides
Weak base
poor proton acceptor
e.g- Neutral nitrogen/ammonia
Conjugate Base
NH3 + H2O → NH+4 + OH-
Species formed after an acid donates a proton
OH-
Conjugate Acid
NH3(g)+H2O(l)→NH+4(aq) + OH-(aq)
Species formed after a base accepts a proton
NH+4
Oxidation
loss of electrons, gain of oxygen
Reduction
loss of Oxygen, gain of electrons
pH
pH=− log[H+ ]
unknown concentration equation
V1xM1/n1=V2xM2/n2
Saturated solution
Solution with max. quantity of solute/solid dissolved at that temperature
Standard solution
Solution of exactly known concentration
