Acid-Base Titrations Flashcards
pH meter measures the _______ produced in the solution
voltage
blue paper turns red at pH?
<5
They defined acid-base reactions as processes that involve the transfer of proton (H+) from one substance to another. The one which donates the proton is the acid while the one that accepts the proton is the base.
Johannes Brønsted and Thomas Lowry
red paper turns blue at pH?

These are aqueous systems that tend to resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid (H⁺) or base (OH⁻) are added
Buffers
are important because it tells you the pH of the solution at the equivalence point
Titration Curves
CH3COOH has a conjugate base pair
CH3COO-
If [H3O+] is higher, then it is
acidic
Weak acid and a Conjugate base in a sol’n will give you
Buffer Solution
For less accurate method, one can use this to measure the pH of a solution
litmus papers
For more accurate measurements, a ___________ is used which measures the voltage produced in the solution.
pH meter
The one that accepts the proton is the
Base
What happens to pH at equivalence point?
changes drastically so the curve is somewhat vertical at equivalence point
have two ionizable protons
Diprotic acids
Since strong acids and bases completely dissociates in solution, the equilibrium concentrations of H3O+ (for acids) and OH- (for bases) are?
equal to their initial concentrations
pH range where the buffer is most effective in resisting pH change
Buffer Range
The only difference between conjugate pairs is the transfer of
H+
The one which donates the proton is the
Acid
One common example of amphiprotic substances
water
A solution in which [H3O+] is equal to [OH-] is called
Neutral
encompass all acids containing more than one ionizable H
polyprotic acids
This property of water where it can act as either a Bronsted-Lowry acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base is called
autoionization
He defined acids as substances that, when dissolved in pure water, increase the concentration of H+ ions, and bases are those that increase the concentration of OH− ions.
Svante Arrhenius
It completely dissociates in solution
strong acids and strong bases
plots the pH of the solution against the volume of titrant added
Titration Curves
acids as substances, when dissolved in pure water, increase the concentration of H+ ions, and bases are those that increase the concentration of OH− ions.
Arrhenius Definition
They proposed a more general description for acids and bases.
Johannes Brønsted and Thomas Lowry
indicates the end point of the titration
Acid-Base Indicators
The equilibrium constant of the weak base is therefore called the
base-dissociation constant, Kb
A proton donor and its corresponding proton acceptor make up a
conjugate acid-base pair
The buffering power at midpoint is
maximal
acts in the cytoplasm of all cells
Phosphate buffer system
at half equivalence point, you will have
Buffer Solution
There are substances that are capable of donating and accepting protons called
Amphiprotic substances
This equilibrium constant of weak acid is called the
acid-dissociation constant, Ka
higher [OH-] is considered
basic
