Q

what are the limitations of Arrhenius acid

A

limited to reactions taking place in water

H+ ions doesn’t exist in water on its own

Q

whatis a tribasic (substance/acid/base)

A

donates 3 H+ ex-phosphoric acid

17
Q

What is a strong acid?

A

An acid that dissociates fully into ions in an aqueous solution

18
Q

What is a weak acid?

A

An acid that only slightly dissociates into ions in an aqueous solution

19
Q

what are the advantages of Bronsted-lowry’s acid/base

A
  • doesn’t just deal with water, also deals with acid/base reactions
  • shows how substances can be amphoteric
  • shows the hydronium ion is formed when an acid reacts with water
20
Q

what is a conjugate acid pair

A

it is when there are two substances which differ by an H+ or a proton

21
Q

what is a amphoteric substance

A

it is a substance that can behave as a acid or base depending on what it reacts with ex-H2O

22
Q

Self ionisation of water

A

H20->H++OH-

H-2O+H2O->H3O+ +OH

The concentration of H+ ions and OH-ions ae extremely small

23
Q

name 3 ways of measuring pH

A

Universal indicator paper

pH meter

Universal indicator solution

24
Q

what are the limitations of the pH scale

A

ranges from 0-14(theoretically there are values outside of this range)

doesn’t work on highly concentrated solutions
