acid base equalibria Flashcards
what is a A Bronsted-Lowry acid?
= donate a proton
A Bronsted-Lowry base?
= accept a proton
How do we calculate PH?
= PH= -log[H+]
= concentration of hydrogen ions in solution
what is a strong acid?
= strong acids completly dissociate
how do we find [H]+, concentration of hydrogen ion fron PH?
= 1 x 10^-PH
what equalibrian does water follow?
= H2o => H+ + OH-
What is the equation for kw?
= Kw= [H+][OH-]
What is the value for kw at 25 degrees?
= 1x10^-14
How do we find the PH for pure water?
= neutral solutions [OH-] = [H+]
= kw= [H+]^2
= [H+]= swuare root of kw
Why does water not appear in the equation?
= it is (almost) constant
What is an weak acid?
= slightly dissociate in wtaer
the larger the ka the what?
= the stronger the acid
