Chapter 15 Flashcards
Vital to biological systems normal function
Acid-base balance
Regulated by the reversible chemical reactions
The amount of acid-base in a system
Arrhenius acid
Dissociate in water to produce H+
Dissociate in water to produce H+
Arrhenius acid
Arrhenius base
Ionizes or dissociates in water to produce OH-
Ionizes or dissociates in water to produce OH-
Arrhenius base
Arrhenius acid-base reactions
Cation from base plus anion of acid forms salt in water (from OH + H)
Cation from base plus anion of acid forms salt in water (from OH + H)
Arrhenius acid-base reaction
Problems with Arrhenius theory
Doesn’t explain basicity/acidity of molecules or compounds lacking OH- or those lacking H+
Can’t explain acid-base reactions that take place outside aqueous solution
Brønsted-Lowry acid
Proton (H+) donors
Proton (H+) donors
Brønsted-Lowry acid
Brønsted-Lowry base
Proton (H+) acceptors
Proton (H+) acceptors
Brønsted-Lowry base
Amphoteric substance
Acts as an acid or a base, water is most common
Acts as an acid or a base, water is most common
Amphoteric substance
Nonmetal oxides
Form acids when placed in water
Ex: SO2, SO3, CO2 (all gases)
Conjugate acid-base pairs
Exist on the other side of equilibrium, opposite of left hand side, only possible in Brønsted-Lowery theory, not Arrhenius
Conjugate acid
From original base, add H+
From original base, add H+
Conjugate acid
Conjugate base
From original acid, minus H+
From original acid, minus H+
Conjugate base
Strong acid
Strong electrolyte, complete ionization, more willing to donate H+
Strong acids
3 binary, 3 oxy acids
5 monoprotic, 1diprotic
Binary acid
Consists of only 2 elements
Oxy acid
Contains 3 elements, one of which is oxygen
HCl
Strong acid
HBr
Strong acid
HI
Strong acid
HNO3
Strong acid
HClO4
Strong acid
H2SO4
Strong acid
Weak acid
Weak electrolyte, partial ionization, vary in strength and percent ionization, donate a small amount of H+, coexist with their ions
Weak acids
Monoprotic
Diprotic
Polyprotic
Any that aren’t the 6
Strong base
Strong electrolyte, complete dissociation or acceptance of H+
