Chapter 14 Flashcards
acids according to bronsted-lowry:
H+ donor (proton donor)
bases according to bronsted-lowry:
bases according to bronsted-lowry:
hydronium ion
H+
conjugate base
everything that remains of the acid molecule after an proton is lot
conjugate acid:
formed when the proton is transferred to the base (accepts H+)
conjugate acid-base pair:
consists of two substances related to each other by donating and accepting of a single proton
Ka
acid dissociation constant
strong acid:
- equilibrium lies far to the RIGHT(all original HA is dissociated)
- strong acid yields a weak conjugate base
- Ka is large
weak acid
- equilibrium lies far to the LEFT (all original HA is not dissociated)
- strong acid yields an strong conjugate base
- Ka is small
diprotic acid:
a acid having two acidic protons
oxyacid
the acidic proton is attached to a oxygen atom
organic acids:
those with carbon atom backbone (contain carboxyl group)
monoprotic acid:
have one acidic proton
amphoteric:
can behave either as a acid or as a base (water)
Kw:
- ion-product constant (dissociation constant for water)
- refers to the autoionization of water
- in any aqueous solution at 25 degrees celcius, no matter what it contains
- the product of (H+) and OH-) must equal: 1.0 10-14
