Chapter 14 Flashcards
Arrhenius Model acids
release hydrogen ions when placed in water
The Arrhenius Model applies only to?
aqueous solutions and allows for only one type of base
Arrhenius Model bases
release hydroxide ions when placed in an aqueous solution
Bronsted-Lowry model acids
proton donors (hydrogen ions)
Bronsted-Lowry model bases
proton acceptors (accepts hydrogen ions)
Conjugate acids
what the base becomes on the product side of a reaction when the base has accepted the proton.
Conjugate base
what the acid becomes on the product side of the reaction when the acid has donated its proton.
acid dissociation constant refers to?
the dissociation or ionization of an acid.
In the dissociation what is not included and why?
water because in dilute solutions the concentration of water is high and changes very little.
For strong acids the equilibrium lies so far to?
the right that the acid cannot be accurately measured and cannot calculate of Kₐ.
Strong acids
acids with a large Kₐ value
strong acids equilibrium lies to?
the right
a strong acid will yield a?
weak conjugate base (low proton affinity)
Common strong acids
HCl, H2SO4, H3PO4
With strong acids we assume?
they undergo complete dissociation so very little of the original strong acid is left.
Weak acid
acids that do not ionize/dissociate completely with a small Ka value
Weak acids will yield a?
strong conjugate bases (high proton affinity)
in weak acids equilibrium lies?
to the left
In weak acids, most of the acid remains?
in an unionized state in solution
If given a Kₐ value, the acid is?
weak
Monoprotic
1 acidic proton
Diprotic
2 acidic donors
Triprotic
3 acidic donors
Oxyacids
acids in which the acidic proton is attached to an oxygen atom
