Acids and Bases Flashcards
Arrhenius Salt
Any substance when in water produces hydrogen ions as the only positive ion
Bronsted-Lowery Acid
Any substance which is a proton (H+) donor
Lewis Acid
Electron pair acceptor
Binary Acid
made up of 2 elements (H+ is one)
Ternary Acid
Made up of three or more elements (H+is one) usually has a polyatomic ion
Bronstead-Lowery base
Porton (H=) acceptor
Amphoteric substance
could be proton donor or acceptor (acid/base)
List of strong acids
HI, HBr, HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4
Arhenius Base
Any substance when in water produces hydroxide ions (OH-) as the only negative ion in solution
Alkalinity
Measure of degree of Basicity
Strong bases
hydroxide + group 1 or 2 element
Salt
Any substance when dissolved in water produces a positive ion other than (H+) and negative ion other than (OH-)
Properties of Salts
Ionic bonds, form crystal lattice structure, electrolytes, high melting points, solids, very stable
Buffer
Substance that resists changes to pH when acids or bases are added
