Chapter 10 Flashcards
Arrhenius definitions
dissociate
acid has excess H
Base has excess OH in solution
Bronsted Lowry
Acid donates H- includes water
base accepts H
not limited to aq
Lewis
most inclusive
acid is electron pair acceptor, base is donator
amphoteric
acid or base depending on environment
common in polyvalent, amino acids, and water
amphiprotic
can gain or lose protons
acid anion
-ide to hydro-ic acid
acid oxyanion
-ite to -ous acid
-ate to -ic acid
autoionization
water reacts with self and is reversible
forms H3O+ and OH-
Kw
[H3O+] [OH-] = 10^-14 at 25C
concentrations are 10^-7 when neutral
pH
-log [H+]= log 1/H+
pOH
-log [OH-]
pH+pOH= 14
how to calculate log with
-log (n x10^-m)
= m-log n
n is between 0 and 10, so log is between 0 and 1
= m=0.n
Ka and Kb
Smaller ka is weaker acid
ka= [H3o+] [A-]/ [HA]
Kb= [OH-] [B+] / [BOH]
weal base/acid has k<1
conjugate acid
base gains protons
kb x ka acid =kw
conjugate base
acid loses protons
ka x kb conjugate = kw
large Ka will have small Kb
