Acids and Bases Deck 1 Flashcards
Define an acid
Proton Donor
Define a base
Proton Acceptor
Define a strong Acid
An acid (proton donor) which fully dissociates
Define a weak Acid
An acid ( proton donor) which only partially dissociates
Define pH
pH = -Log10[H+]
[H+] =
[H+] = 10-pH
Ionic Product of Water (Kw) =
Kw = [H+][OH-]
When calculating the pH of a strong acid use:
pH = -Log10[H+]
When calculating the pH of a strong base use:
Rearrange Kw = [H+][OH-] to get [OH-] then use pH = -Log10[H+]
When calculating the pH of a weak acid use:
Ka = [H+]2/[HA] and rearrange to get [H+]
then use pH = -Log10[H+]
Chemical equation for Hydrochloric Acid + Sodium
HCl(aq) + Na(s) –> NaCl(aq) + ½ H2(g)
Chemical equation for Nitric Acid + Potassium Oxide
2HNO3 (aq) + K2O(s) –> 2KNO3 (aq) + H2O(l)
Chemical equation for Phosphoric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide
H3PO4(aq) + 3NaOH(s) –> Na3PO4(aq (aq) + 3H2O(l)
Chemical equation for Hydrochloric Acid + Calcium Oxide
2HCl (aq) + CuO(s) –> CuCl2 (aq) + H2O(l)
Chemical equation for Sulfuric Acid + Sodium Carbonate
H2SO4(aq) + Na2CO3(s) –> Na2SO4(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
