Chapter 14 Flashcards
Name the Bronsted Definition of an acid
A proton donor
Why is the Arrhenius Concept limited?
Applies only to aqueous solutions that allows for only one type of base, those with hydroxide ions
Name the Bronsted Lowry definition of a base
A proton acceptor
Conjugate Base
Everything remaining of the acid molecule after it has lost its proton
Conjugate Acid
The formation after the proton is transferred to the base.
The transfer of protons is a competition between the two bases, therefore whichever has the stronger _____ with shift the reaction.
Affinity for h+
If H2o is stronger base than the H+ then
The equilibrium with move to the right
If the acid is stronger than the h2o then the rquillibrium will move to the
Left
A strong acid yields a _____ conjugate base
Weak
A weak acid
Equilibrium lies to the far left
Strong acid
Equilibrium lies to the far right
Diprotic acid
An acid with having two acidic protons
Oxyacid
Acidic proton attached to oxygen atoms
Amphoteric
A substance that can behave as an acid or a base
