Ch 18 & 19 Flashcards
Strong Acids
HCl HBr HI HNO3 HClO4 H2SO4
Weak Acids
HF HCN HNO2 H3PO4 H2CO3 CH3COOH
Strong Bases
LiOH NaOH KOH Ba(OH)2 Ca(OH)2
Weak Base
NH3
Arrhenius Acid
substance that produces H+ in solution
Arrhenius Base
substance that produces OH- in solution
net ionic equation for Strong Acid/base reaction
H+ + OH- –> H2O
Limitation of Arrhenius defition
doesn’t recognize role of solvent in ionization of solute
Bronsted-Lowry Acid
proton (H+) donor
Bronsted-Lowry Base
proton acceptor
conjugate acid base pair
differ ONLY in presence or absence of proton
3 main groups of acids
binary acids
oxoacids
carboxylic acids (organic acids)
binary acid
has H-X structure (HF, HCl, HBr, etc)
factors that determine relative strength of binary acids
bond strength
(stronger bond=weaker acid)
Polarity of bond
(more polar=stronger acid)
oxoacid
has H-O-Z structure
factors that determine relative strength of oxoacids
electronegativity of Z
(more electronegative=stronger acid)
number of O’s bonded to Z
(more O’s=stronger acid)
Carboxylic Acids
R-COOH structure
Factors that increase acid strength of organic acids
substituent groups (R) (CH3COOH
amphoteric substance
can act as both an acid and a base (H2O)
