Chapter 10 Flashcards
Arrhenius Definition
Acid: produceds H+
Base: Produces OH-
Fails for non aqueous media
Bronsted-Lowry Definition
Acid: Donates H+
Base: Accepts H+
Allows of conjugate acid-base pairs
Lewis Definition
Acid: Electron Pair Acceptor
Base: Electron Pair Donor
Nomenclature of Arrhenius Acids
Hydro- + -ide
Nomenclature of Arrhenius Acids (Oxyacids)
- ite = ous acid
- ate = -ic acid
Water dissociation Constant
Kw = [H+][OH-] = 10-14
pH + pOH = 14
KaKb = Kw
Estimating Logs
m - log n
Larger n means closer to m-1
Salt Formation - Strong Acid and Base
Forms Salt and Water
pH = 7
Salt Formation - Strong Acid and Weak Base
Forms salt but no water
Salt will react with water to reform base
Lowers [OH-]
Lowers pH
Salt Formation - Weak Acid and Strong Base
Forms Basic Solution
Salt hydrolyizes to reform acid
Henderson-HasselBalch Equation
pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]
pOH = pKb + log[HA]/[A-]
