Strong acids
HCl - hydrochloric acid HBr - hydrobromic acid HI - hydroiodic acid H2SO4 - Sulfuric acid HNO3 - nitric acid HClO4 - perchloric acid
Strong bases
NaOH - sodium hydroxide
KOH - potassium hydroxide
other soluble hydroxides of Group IA metals
Strong acid + strong acid =
salt + water (resulting solution = 7), ions formed in reaction will not react with water cuz they are inert conjugates
Strong acid + weak base
salt, no water formed cuz weak bases are not hydroxides
weak acid + strong base
PH - basic range cuz the salt hydrolyses with formation of hydroxide ions,
weak acid + weak base
depends on the strengths of the reactants (Ka and Kb), so if KaKb then solution is acidic and there will be more hydronium ions
acid equivalent
equal to 1 mole of H+ ions
base equivalent
equal to 1 mole of OH- ions
polyvalent
each mole of the acid or base liberates more than 1 acid or base equivalent
common polyvalent acids
H2SO4, H3PO4, H2CO3
common polyvalent bases
Al(OH)3, Ca(OH)2, Mg(OH)2
titration
to determine concentration of a known reactant in solution, add small volumes of a solution of known concentration (titrant) to a known volume of a solution of unknown concentration (titrand) until completion of the reaction at the equivalence point
equivalence point
when the number of equivalents of acid and base are equal
equivalence point for strong acid + strong base
pH = 7
equivalence point for strong acid + weak base
pH < 7
equivalence point for weak acid + strong base
pH > 7
buffer solution
mixture of weak acid and its salt (conjugate base + cation) or mixture of weak base and its salt (conjugate acid + anion), resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added
