Acid, Bases And Buffers + Moles Flashcards
1
Q
Brønsted-Lowry acid
A
A proton, H+ donor
2
Q
Brønsted-Lowry base
A
a proton, H+ acceptor
3
Q
alkali
A
a soluble base that dissolves in water forming OH- (aq) ions
4
Q
H3O+ (hydronium ion)
A
H+ in aqueous solution as the H+ ion is not stable & immediately attracts the H2O molecules due to a small size + high charge
5
Q
strong acid
A
An acid that completely dissociates in solution
6
Q
weak acid
A
an acid that partially dissociates in solution
7
Q
conjugate acid
A
a species that releases a proton to form a conjugate base
e.g. HCl(conjugate acid) forms Cl-(a conjugate base)
8
Q
Conjugate base
A
a species that accepts a proton to form a conjugate acid
E.g. Cl- (conjugate base) forms HCl (conjugate acid)
