acids and bases Flashcards
kw
the ion-product constant of water
kw =
[H+][OH-] = 1 x 10-14
calculating ph
pH = -log[H+]
titration
process of adding a known amount of solution of know concentration to determine the concentration of another solution
strong acids
completely ionized in aqueous solution.
weak acids
ionize only slightly in aqueous solution.
weak acids have ____ ka values
small
the stronger an acid is,
the larger its ka value
properties of acids
taste sour, will change the color of an acid-base indicator, and can be strong or weak electrolytes in aqueous solution.
properties of bases
taste bitter, feel slippery, will change the color of an acid-base indicator, and can be strong or weak electrolytes in aqueous solution.
arrenhius acid
acids are
hydrogen-containing compounds that
ionize to yield hydrogen ions (H+) in
aqueous solution.
aarrenhius base
bases are compounds that ionize to
yield hydroxide ions (OH–) in aqueous
solution.
bronsted lowry acid
donates h+
bronsted lowry base
accepts h+
conjugate acid
the particle formed when
a base gains a hydrogen ion.
