Acids and Bases Flashcards
1
Q
acid contains hydrogen ions while bases have hydroxide ions
A
arrhenius theory
2
Q
acids donate protons while bases accept protons
A
bronsted-lowry theory
3
Q
acids are electron-pair acceptors while bases are electron-pair donors;
Lewis acids and bases aren’t limited to H^+ transfer ph
acids accept, bases donate
A
lewis theory
4
Q
based on the concentration of H^+
A
acidity/basicity
5
Q
pH uses a ______ scale
A
logarithmic
6
Q
pH =
A
-log[H^+]
if [H^+]=0.0001 then pH=4
7
Q
concentration/molarity of H^+ in the solution
A
H^+
8
