Identify an acid from its formula
- Starts with H
- ends with COOH(organic acid)
Identify a base from it formula
Ends with OH
has a metal in front
CH3OH is an alcohol
Arrhenius theory Acids
Substances that dissociate in water to form H+ ions.
For ex: HCL––– H+ Cl-
Arrhenius theory bases
Substances that dissociate in water to form OH- ions
For ex: NaOH— Na+ OH-
Bronsted Lowry theory
BAAD
Base= H+ acceptor
Acid= H+ donor
what can water do in Bronsted Lowry Theory
Water can act as both acid and base as its amphoteric
Ph Scale number and relation
Less than 7=acidic
7(exactly)= Neutral
greater than 7= basic
what does PH represent
the concentration of H+ ions
what does a change in on PH unit represent
Represents a 10 x change in H+
for ex: pH of 5 is 1000 times more acidic than pH of 8
what correlation do basic and acidic have with ions
H+= acidic
OH-=basic
in order to find pH what equation is used
pH=-log[H+]
In order to find [H+] what equation is used
10^-ph
Ionization of water
water turns into hydronium(H3O+) and OH-
what is the ionic product constant for water at 298 K
its known as Kw = 1x10^-14
what do [H+] and [OH]- =
1.0x10^-7
no adding between
describe the relationship between H+ and OH-
it will equal constant value
is an inverse relationship.
what is considered a strong acid/base
when it completely dissociates(ionizes) into its ions in aqueous solutions.
Common strong acids
HCl- Hydrochloric acid
HBr- Hydrobromic acid
HI- Hydroiodic acid
H2SO4- Sulfuric acid
HNO3- Nitric acid
HClO4- perchloric acid
Common strong bases
NaOH- Sodium hydroxide
KOH- potassium hydroxide
any group 1+ hydroxide
Ba(OH)2- barium hydroxide
what is considered a weak acid/base
they partially dissociate(ionize) into their ions in aqueous solutions.
Common weak acids
CH3COOH- ethanoic acid
H2CO3- carbonic acid
common weak bases
NH3- ammonia
pH measurement between strong and weak acids and bases
- Strong acids produce more H+ ions in solution than weak acids
- the pH of a strong acid will be lower than weak acid
Rate of reaction between strong and weak acids and bases
the rate of reaction in strong acids is greater than weak acids because the greater concentration of H+ ions causes more successful collision.
