Q

What are the disadvantages and advantages of the Bronsted Lowry theory?

A

Advantages:

  • Isn’t limited to reactions in aqueous solutions

Q

What is a triprotic acid?

A

Can donate 3 protons per molecule

E.g. H3PO4, H3BO3

17
Q

What are strong acids?

A
  • Molecules completely ionises in water
  • Resulting solution: mainly ions and few molecules

E.g. only nitric acid (HNO3), sulfuric acid (H2SO4) & hydrochloric acid (HCL)

18
Q

What are strong bases?

A
  • Molecules completely dissociates in water
  • Form separate ions (E.g. NaOH –> Na^+ + OH^-)

E.g. G1 & G2 hydroxides & oxides

19
Q

What are weak acids?

A
  • Molecules only partly ionise in water
  • Resulting solution: consists of molecules and few ions

E.g. Vinegar + citric acid

20
Q

What are weak bases?

A
  • Molecules partially ionise in water
  • Few ions formed

E.g. Ammonia

21
Q

What is Ka?

A

The equilibrium expression is rearranged to give the acid/base dissociation equilibrium constant, which is a measure of the strength of acid/base.

Ka = products/reactants

E.g. HF + H2O –>

22
Q

How do you determine if Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is a weak or strong acid (use hydrolysis)?

A
  1. H2CO3 + H2O —>
23
Q

Is Ammonia (NH3) a weak or strong base (use hydrolysis)?

A
  1. NH3 + H2O —>
24
Q

Define salts + examples

A

Is an ionic compound containing + ions other than a hydrogen ion or - ions other than the oxide ion or the hydroxide ion.

  • E.g. CaCO3, FeSO4 & KF
25
Q

What happens when a salt dissolves in water?

A

Completely dissolves in water and dissociates completely into ions

26
Q

What is it called when one or both ions produced in dissociation can undergo a further reaction with water?

A

Hydrolysis

27
Q

A salt formed between a strong acid and a strong base is ______

A

Neutral

28
Q

A salt formed between a strong acid and a weak base is _______

A

Acidic

29
Q

A sat formed in the reaction between a weak acid and a strong base is ______

A

Basic

30
Q

Define buffer

A
  • Are solutions that have the ability to resist pH change when small amounts of either acids or bases are added to them
  • Generally contain a weak acid and its conjugate base OR a weak base and its conjugate acid
  • They work as weaker acid + weak base can CO-EXIST in solution without neutralising one another but react to neutralise any strong acid or strong base added to buffer
31
Q

Define buffer capacity

A
  • The ability of a buffer solution to neutralise excess acid or base without a major change in pH
  • Can be also defined as:
    The amount of acid or base the buffer can neutralise before pH changes dramatically
