Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases Flashcards
when acid reacts the amount of _________ increases
hydronium H3O+
when base reacts the amount of ________ increases
hydroxide OH-
bronsted-lowry acid
molecule or ion that donates a hydrogen ion (H+) in reaction
bronsted-lowry base
molecule or ion that accepts a hydrogen ion (H+)
do bronsted-lowry acids and bases work simultaneously?
yes
what qualifies as a bronsted-lowry base
anion that can form neutral compound with a proton
molecule which has 1 or more electronegative atoms that have lone pair electrons that form covalent bond with hydrogen ion - COLUMN 15 and 16 ON PERIODIC TABLE
example of anion acceptors
OH- —> H2O
any anion left after an Arrhenius acid has ionized can be a Bronsted-Lowry base
example:
F- ion left after HF ionizes
HF + H2O —> H3O+ F-
F- can act as a bronsted-lowry base
F- + H2O —> OH- + HF
do molecules containing nitrogen contain an atom with lone pairs groups?
yes
does oxygen exist with a lone pair of electrons in most molecules?
yes
T or F: a bronsted base is a substance which produces OH- ions in a solution
false
Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) is
both an Arrhenius acid and bronsted -lowry acid
HPO2-2 is best described as
both a bronsted-lowry acid and base
what substance is formed when the hydroxide ion accepts a proton
water
T or F: HSO3- is both a bronsted-lowry base and a bronsted-lowry acid - amphoteric species
true
T or F: H+ ion is a hydrogen atom which has lost its electron and now is a bare proton
True
T or F: acetate ion is a bronsted-lowry base?
true
T or F: the bronsted-lowry concept is not limited to aqueous solutions
true
why do compounds that contain N frequently act as bronsted-lowry bases
nitrogen atoms has lone pairs of electrons
T or F: every acid by the Arrhenius definition is also a Bronsted-Lowry acid
true
acid-base reaction according to bronsted-lowry is________
the transfer of a proton from one molecule to another
ex.
NH3 + H2O —> NH4+ + OH-
conjugate base
particle produced when acid donates H+
conjugate acid
particle produced when base accepts a H+
example of acid base reaction
PO4-3 + H2O —> OH- + HPO4-2
base acid conjugate base conjugate acid
