Buffer Prep (LAB) Flashcards
Acids taste ____
SOUR
states that acid donates a proton while bases accepts a proton
Brownsted-Lowry
for both Arrhenius and Bronsted Lowry concepts an acid or base disassociates or ionizes in water
Water
mixture of a weak acid/base and its conjugate base/acid
buffers
typically pH sensitive, thus an appropriate buffer is needed to preserve their native confirmation or shape
biomolecules
mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base
buffer
Can resist drastic changes in pH
buffer
used in calculating the pH of buffers
Henderson-Hasselbach equation
proton (H+) donor
weak acid
partially dissociates and donates its hydrogen atom to another substance typically water
weak acid
loses its H+ and forms a conjugate base (A-)
weak acid
what forms after the water molecule accepts a proton
hydronium cation
has a constant value at a particular temperature
acid dissociation constant
dissociates partially by
donating its hydrogen atom to
form its conjugate base, acetate (CH3COO-) and a hydronium cation
acetic acid
identify the compounds
grade yourself accordingly
