CH 7 Flashcards
Arrhenius Theory 1887
Acid: a substance that liberate (free) hydrogen ions
Base: substance that supplies hydroxyl ions on dissociation
Bronsted Lowry theory 1923
is more useful than the Arrhenius theory because it represents the ionization in both an aqueous and non-aqueous system
Acid: is a substance both charged or uncharged capable of donating a proton
Base: is a substance charger or uncharged capable if accepting a proton from an acid
strength of acids and bases
the relative tendencies of the substances to give up and take on protons
strength varies with the solvent
acid is strong= (high tendency) readily gives up protons
base is strong= readily accepts protons
acid is weak= (low tendency) readily gives up protons to SMALL extent
strength of acid
it depends on not only the ability to give up protons but also ability of solvent to accept the protons from the acid (aka: BASIC STRENGTH of solvent)
HCL
is a strong acid in water, because it readily gives up a proton
is a weak acid in glacial acetic acid
shows that strong and weak acid DEPENDS on solvent
Acetic Acid
is a weak acid in water because it gives up protons readily only to a small extent
is a strong acid in liquid ammonia
shows that strong and weak acid DEPENDS on solvent
solvent classifications
protophilic - basic solvent, accepting protons from solute (acetone, ether, liquid ammonia)
protogenic- proton donating compound (formic acid, acetic acid, sulfuric acid, liquid HCL, liquid HF)
amphiprotic- proton acceptors and proton donors (water and alcohol)
aprotic- hydrocarbons, neither accept or donate protons and is neutral, they can be useful for studying reaction free of solvent effects
cations
NH4+ and h30+
Anions
hso4- and ch3coo-
neutral
HCL and NH3
protolytic RXN
is protolysis
HCL+ H2O —> H30+ +Cl-
(acid 1)(base2)(acid 2)(base 1)
this is a IONIZATION Rxn
types of rxn
neutralization
hydrolysis
displacement
NH4+ +OH- —> h20 + NH3
neutralization
H30+ + OH- —> h20 + h20
neutralization
HCL + NH3—–> nh4+ + cl-
neutralization
h20 + ch2coo- —-> ch2cooh + oh-
hydrolysis
NH4+ + H20—->H30+ + NH3
HYDROLYSIS
acid-base rxn
acid reacts with acid to form a new acid and base (transfer of protons, so it is also called protolytic or protlysis)
h30+
hydronnuim ions, hydrated proton
displacement rxn
a special type of neutralization involves the displacement of a weaker acid such as acetic acid from its salt.
Lewis electronic theory
acid is a molecule or ions that accepts an electron pair to form a covalent bond
base is a substance provides the pair of unshared electrons by which the base coordinates with an acid
the H+ proton(acid) will attach to the unshared electron pair of N on NH3 to make NH4+
you do not need to contain hydrogen ions or hydroxyl ions to be and acid or base according to LET
acid-base equilibria
equilibrium: a balance between two opposing forces of action. it is dynamic equilibrium of the two velocities
reversible reaction (weak electrolytes)
concentration of reactants and products are constant
Ionic equilbria
