Acids Bases And Ph Flashcards
Bronsted Lowry‘s model for acids and bases
Bronsted Lowry‘s acid is a proton donor
Bronsted Lowry‘s base is a proton acceptor
Monobasic acid
Has one hydrogen ion per molecule that can be replaced by metal ions or ammonium during neutralisation
Dibasic acid
Has two hydrogen ions per molecule that can be replaced
Tribasic
Three hydrogen ions can be replaced per molecule by metal ions or ammonium ions to form a salt
Conjugate acid-base pairs
They contain two species that can be interconverted by transfer of a proton
Conjugate acid
The acid that donates a proton to a base
Conjugate base
Base that accepts A proton from an acid
What condition is required for dissociation to take place
The presence of water
H30+ is also known as
The hydronium ion
pH definition and mathematical expression
pH is a measure of the concentration of H+ ions in solution
pH= -log[H+(aq)]
A small value of pH suggests there is a ….. concentration of H+ ions
Large
So it is quite acidic
On the base 10 logarithmic scale , a change in pH by one unit is equivalent to
A 10x change in the concentration of hydrogen ions
Mathematic expression for the concentration of hydrogen ions(the formulae ) from the ph
[H+(aq)]= 10^-pH
For a strong monobasic acid , what is the ratio of moles of the acid to the hydrogen ions and what does this suggest
1:1
It suggests that the concentration of the acid and hydrogen ions are the same
