CH 18(CH 10 Kaplan) Acids and Bases Flashcards
What is the definition or an Arrhenius Acid/Base?
What is the definition or an Arrhenius Acid/Base?
What is the definition of a Lewis Acid/Base?
Lewis Acid = Electron Acceptor, has a vacant orbital to accept a lone pair
Lewis Base= Electron Donor
Most comprehensive definition
Lower the pKa the (stronger/weaker the acid)?
Lower the pKa the stronger the acid
Higher the pKa the (stronger/weaker the acid)?
Higher the pKA = weaker acid
Higher Ka = stronger or weaker acid?
Higher Ka = stronger acid
Lower Ka = stronger or weaker acid?
Lower Ka = weaker acid
What is the definition of a Bronsted-Lowry Acid?
What is the definition of a Bronsted-Lowry Base?
What is the definition of a Lewis Acid?
What is a Lewis Base?
What is the definition of a Lewis Acid-Base reaction?
Donation and acceptance of a lone pair to form a covalent bond
Which species are considered amphoteric? (3 answers)
1) Partially dissociated conjugated base of polyvalent acid
2)Hydroxides of certain metals (Al, Zn, Pb, and Cr)
3)Oxidizing and reducing agents
True or false: Every Arrhenius acid is a Bronsted-Lowry acid and every Bronsted-Lowry Acid is a Lewis Acid?
True
Which acid/base definition is considered amphiprotic?
Bronsted-Lowry: can donate or accept a proton making it amphiprotic
/(Electronegative elements positioned near an acidic proton ________ (increase/decrease) acid strength by__________________
Electronegative elements positioned near an acidic proton INCREASE acid strength by pulling electron density away from the bond holding the proton
What are the approximate pH values for these reactions?
Periodic Table trends: Acidity _________ across a period and down a group
