acid and bases - chem 20 Flashcards
Acid Properties when dissolved in water
- conduct electricity
- change blue litmus to red
- have pH less than 7
- sour taste
- react with bases to neutralize their properties
- react with active metals to release hydrogen
Base properties when dissolved in water
- conduct electricity
- pH more than 7
- have slippery feeling
- bitter taste
- react with acids to neutralize their properties
Acids are strong if they fully…
ionize
Bases are strong if they fully …
dissociate
6 strong acids
- HClO4
- HCl
- HBr
- HI
- HNO3
- H2SO4
6 strong bases
- metal hydroxides in 1A and 2A will form stong bases in water most common: -NaOH -Ba(OH)2 -KOH -Sr(OH)2 -LiOH -Cs(OH)2
Non-Metal Oxides
- molecular compound, usually a gas
- do not dissociate but will dissolve in water
The more hydronium there is …
the lower the pH, meaning acid
Weak Base properties
- bases that do not contain OH, but form it with the reaction with water
- react incompletely <50%
- medium to high pH
- low conductivity
- slower reaction with organic compounds
Strong Base Properties
- very high pH
- high conductivity
- fast reaction with organic compounds
- completely dissociate to form OH
Weak Acid Properties
- medium to low pH
- low conductivity
- lower reaction rate with metals since there is less hydronium
- partially ionize to form H3O+
- <50%
Strong Acid Properties
- very low pH
- high conductivity
- fast reaction rate with metals
- completely ionize ( react with water to form hydronium )
monoprotic acids
- contain only one hydrogen that will react with water to form H3O+
polyprotic acids
-polyprotic acids contain more than one hydrogen that can react with water to form H3O+
how does an indicator change colour
- when am indicator loses or gains a hydrogen, it changes the shape of the molecule which reflects the light differently
amphiprotic
acts as both an acid and a base
non metal oxides create
acids
metal oxides create
bases
arrhenius acids
- ionize to form H+ and negative anions
ex. HBr= H+ + Br -
arrhenius base
- dissociate to form positive cations and negative OH hydroxide anions in solution.
modified arrhenius acid
- react with water to produce hydronium, and negative anions in solution
modified arrhenius base
- react with water, to form positive cations and negative OH hydroxide anions
oxyanion rules
-most common ends in ate phosphate -going up one oxygen means you add per in front perphosphate -going down 1 means ends in ite phosphoite -going down 2 means you add hypo to the ite ending hypophisphite
equivalence point with strong acid and weak base
lower than 7
equivalence point of strong base with weak acid
higher than 7
equivalence point with strong acid and strong base
7
difference between strong acid and concentrated acid
strong acids ionize 100%
concentrated acids have a high concentration in solution
