1
Q

Arrhenius’ theory

A

Acids form H³O+ (ionise in water to form H+. Ions can not exist on their own, so they form H³O+)
Bases form OH‐ (dissociate in water to form OH‐)

Q

Describe acids

A
  • sour to the taste
  • cause specific colour changes in indicators and plant dyes (litmus = blue to red)
  • aqueous acid solutions conduct electricity
  • neutralize bases
  • have at least 1 H atom that can ionise to form an ion (H+) in an aqueous solution

Q

Describe bases

A
  • alkali = base that is soluble in water
  • bitter to taste, soapy to touch (alkali reacts with oils on skin to form soap)
  • cause colour changes in indicators and plant dyes (litmus = red to blue)
  • alkaline solutions conduct electricity
  • neutralize acids
  • produce hydroxide ions (OH‐) in aqueous solution

Q

Formula to determine the pH of an acid

A

pH = -log [H³O+]

17
Q

Steps to determine the pH

A
  1. Balance reaction of acid with water
  2. Use molar ratio to determine the concentration of H³O+ molecules
  3. Plug in and solve
18
Q

What does Kc mean?

A

Equilibrium constant

19
Q

Formula of the equilibrium constant

A

Kc = [product concentration] ÷ [reactant concentration]

20
Q

What is the concentration of solids and pure liquids?

A

One

21
Q

Equilibrium constant of water

A

Kw = 1×10‐¹⁴ (at room temperature)

22
Q

Equilibrium constant of a neutral solution

A

[H³O+] = [OH‐] = 1×10‐7

23
Q

Ka value of a strong acid

A

A strong acid will ionise fully and have a higher concentration of product, therefore, there will be a high Ka value (very little acid left, but a lot of product)

24
Q

Ka value of weak acids

A

Weak acids partially ionise and have a lower concentration of product, therefore, they will have a low Ka value (a lot of reactant left, but very little product)

25
Q

Kb value of a strong base

A

A strong base dissociates fully and has a higher concentration and, therefore, has a higher Kb value (very little base left, but a lot of product)

26
Q

Kb value of a weak base

A

A weak base partially dissociates and has a lower concentration and, therefore, has a low Kb value (a lot of reactant left, but very little product)

27
Q

Explain the strength of an acid or base

A

How much of the acid will ionise, or the base dissociates

(Strong or weak)

28
Q

Explain the concentration of an acid or base

A

Amount of acid or base present in a given volume

(Diluted or concentrated)

29
Q

List the strong acids

A
  • HCl
  • H²SO⁴
  • HNO³
  • H²CO³
  • HBr
  • HI
  • HClO⁴
30
Q
