Acids and Bases Flashcards
Bronsted Lowry Acid
Substance that can donate an H+ (a proton) in another substance
(loses a proton]
Bronsted Lowry Base
a substance that can ACCEPT an H+ (a proton) from another substance
would gain a proton
Hydronium
H3O+
Arrhenius Acid
Substances that PRODUCE H+ ions when dissolved in water
Arrhenius Bases
Substances that produce OH- ions when dissolved in water.
calculate Ka from equilibrium expression
ka = [Product]^x [Product] ^x / [Reactant]^x [Reactant]^x
How to make a conjugate base
Acid loses a proton
loses 1 H+
Make Conjugate Acid
Base gains a proton
1 H+
Conjugate Acid Base Pair (listing)
HA / A-
Acid / Conjugate Base
Conjugate Acid/ Base
Kw
Kw= [H3O+][H-] Kw = 1.0 x 10 ^-14 (@25 K)
H3O+ and OH- : Neutral Solution
[H3O+] = [OH-]
H3O+ and OH- : Acidic Solution
[H3O+] > [OH-]
Is greater than
H3O+ and OH- : Basic Solution
[H3O+] < {OH-]
is less than
pH of Acid
Less than 7
pH of Base
more than 7
