Acids And Bases Flashcards
Acids
Willing to give up protons
Bases
Willing to gain protons from other atoms
Arrhenius definition of acids and bases
Acids Produce H+ (leftover proton when a hydrogen atom) or H3O+ and bases produce OH-
Bronsted Lowry definition of acids and bases
Acids are Proton donors and bases are proton acceptors
Lewis definition of acids
Acids are Electron pair acceptors and bases are electron pair donors
pH level of acids
0-7 (including 0)
pH level of bases
7-14 including 14
strong acids
HCl - Hydrochloric acid
HBr - Hydrobromic acid
HI - Hydroiodic acid
HNO 3 - Nitric acid
H2SO4- Sulfuric acid (only the first proton is strong)
HClO 4 - Perchloric acid
HClO 3- Chloric acid
