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
