Acids Bases And Salts Flashcards
Brønsted-Lowry acid what is it
A proton donor
What is a strong Brønsted-Lowry acid?
It’s a proton donor that completely dissociates
What is a weak Brønsted-Lowry acid
A proton donor that only partially dissociates
Give an equation of a Brønsted-Lowry acid
HA ⇌ H+ + A-
Give an equation of a strong Brønsted-Lowry Lowry acid
HA -> H+ + A-
Give an equation of a weak Brønsted-Lowry acid
HA ⇌ H+ + A-
pH of a strong acid
pH<1
PH of a weak acid
PH > 1
What are 3 strong acids and their formulas
Hydrochloric acid = HCl
Sulfuric acid = H2SO4
Nitric acid = HNO3
What are three weak acids and there formula?
Ethanoic acid = CH3COOH
Benzoic acid = C6H5COOH
Phenol = C6H5OH
What does the strength of an acid depend on ?
Strength of an acid is proportional to the disassociation of the acid in water and however much H+ we get that defines how strong the acid is going to be.
What is meant by a Brønsted-Lowry base
They are proton acceptors
Give an equation of a Brønsted-Lowry base
OH- + H+ -> H20
What is meant by alkali
An alkali is something that releases OH- into a solution
Give an equation of an alkali and then simplify it
NaOH + H20 -> H20 + OH- + Na+
NaOH -> Na+ + OH-
