Acids and Bases - Strength of Acids Flashcards
1
Q
acid and base strength
A
- monoprotic, diprotic, triprotic acids
- strong acids and bases undergo 100% dissociation
- weak acids and bases undergo partial ionization
2
Q

A
- hydrochloric acid: HCl
- hydrobromic acid: HBr
- hydroiodic acid: HI
- sulfuric acid: H2SO4
- nitric acid: HNO3
- Perchloric acid: HClO4
3
Q
bronsted-lowry model
A
- HA(aq) + H2O(l) -> H3O+(aq) + A-(aq)(weak)
- acid + base -> c.a. + c.b.
- HX(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + X-(aq)(strong)
