ACIDS AND BASES Flashcards
what is bronsted lowry defintion of an acid
acid is anything that donates proton
what is bronsted lowry defintion of a base
base is anything that accepts proton
what is an Arrhenius acid
produces hydrogen ions in aqueous solution
what is Arrhenius base
produce hydroxide ions in aqueous solution
what is a hydroxide
OH-
what is a lewis definition of an acid
anything that accepts pair of electrons
what is a lewis definition of an base
anything that donates electrons
An acid is eased as
H+
A base is eased as
OH-
what does pH measure
hydrogen ion concentration
how do you measure hydrogen ion concentration
pH = -log[H+]
[ ] = concentration
what are the limits of pH value
can be anything as any H+ conc is possible but generally pH scale is 1-14
at 25oc, what is pH of an acid, neutral and base
pH 7 = neutral
more than pH 7 = base
less than pH 7 = acid
what happens as you go up one pH in the pH scale
you go up a tenfold in H+ concentration
pH 3 represents what type of H+ concentration
10-3
