What is a Bronstead Laury acid?
Proton donor
What is a Bronstead Laury alkali?
Soluble base, OH-
What is Bronstead Laury base?
Proton acceptor
Define a salt
When H+ ions get replaced with metal or ammonium
What salts does sulfuric acid make?
Sulfate 6 salt
Define a monobasic acid
Has 1 H+ ion to dissociate
Eh. HCl
Define a dibasic acid
Has 2 H+ ions to dissociate
Eg. H2SO4
Define a tribasic acid
Has 3 H+ ions to dissociate
Eg. H3PO4
What is the PH equation?
PH=-log [H+]
Define a weak acid
Partially dissociates in water
What is the ka expression?
Ka = [H+][A-] ÷ [HA]
What are the 2 assumptions made when referring to ka?
[HA] doesn’t dissociate
[H+] = [A-]
What does a small pka equal?
Large ka therefore strong acid
What is kW?
Ionisation of water
Pure water is always neutral. What does neutral mean?
Concentration of H+ is equal to Concentration of OH-
