Acid, bases and salt & BUFFER SYSTEM Flashcards
most common and important compounds known. In the form of aqueous solutions, these compounds are key materials in both biochemical systems and the chemical industry.
acid, bases, salts
Swedish chemist _____(1859–1927) proposed that acids and bases be defined in terms of the chemical species they form when they dissolve in water.
Svante August Arrhenius
hydrogen-containing compound that, in water, produces hydrogen ions (H+ ions). The acidic species in Arrhenius theory is thus the hydrogen ion.
Arrhenius acid
hydroxide-containing compound that, in water, produces hydroxide ions (OH- ions). The basic species in Arrhenius theory is thus the hydroxide ion. For this reason, Arrhenius bases are also called hydroxide bases
Arrhenius base
examples of arrhenius acids, This ion is formed through an interaction between water and the acid when they are mixed.
-ionization
HNO3 (nitric acid) and HCl (hydrochloric acid)
e process in which individual positive and negative ions are produced from a molecular compound that is dissolved in solution.
ionization
examples of arrhenius base, are ionic compounds in the pure state. When these compounds dissolve in water, the ions separate to yield the OH- ions.
-dissociation
NaOH (sodium hydroxide) and KOH (potassium hydroxide).
process in which individual positive and negative ions are released from an ionic compound that is dissolved in solution.
dissociation
_____(1879–1947), a Danish chemist, and ______ (1874–1936), a British chemist, independently and almost simultaneously proposed broadened definitions for acids and bases — definitions that applied in both aqueous and nonaqueous solutions and that also explained how some non hydroxide-containing substances, when added to water, produce basic solutions.
Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and homas Martin Lowry
substance that can donate a proton (H+ ion) to some other substance.
Brønsted–Lowry acid
substance that can accept a proton (H+ ion) from some other substance.
Brønsted–Lowry base
An absolute structural requirement for a Brønsted–Lowry acid is the presence of a _____The generalized notation for a Brønsted–Lowry acid, is ___
hydrogen atom, HA
An absolute structural requirement for a Brønsted–Lowry base is the ______ of electrons. This is the site where the coordinate covalent bond forms when an incoming proton (from an acid) is accepted by the base.
presence of lone pair
a substance that can either lose or accept a proton and thus can function as either a Brønsted–Lowry acid or a Brønsted–Lowry base.
amphiprotic substance
The absolute structural requirement for an amphiprotic substance is the _____. ___ is the most common amphiprotic substance.
presence of hydrogen atom and lone pair, water
the equilibrium constant for the reaction of a weak acid with water
-It describes the likelihood of the compounds and the ions to break apart from each other.
acid ionization constant/ acid dissociation constant/ Ka
ionic equation
HCI + KOH –> H20 + KCI
H+ +CI- +K + OH- —–> H20 + K+ + CI-
ionic compound containing a metal or polyatomic ion as the positive ion and a nonmetal or polyatomic ion (except hydroxide) as the negative ion.
salt
the chemical reaction between an acid and a hydroxide base in which a salt and water are the products.
(acid + base —> water + salt
acid-base neutralization
an aqueous solution in which the concentration of H3O+ ion is higher than that of OH- ion. less than 7
acidic solution
aqueous solution in which the concentration of the OH- ion is higher than that of the H3O+ ion. greater than 7
basic solution
aqueous solution in which the concentrations of H3O+ ion and OH- ion are equal. equal to 7
neutral solution
scale of small numbers that is used to specify molar hydronium ion concentration in an aqueous solution.
pH scale (power of hydrogen)
an aqueous solution containing substances that prevent major changes in solution pH when small amounts of acid or base are added to it.
