Chapter 15: Section 1: Aqueous Solutions and the Concept of pH Flashcards
1
Q
self-ionization of water
A
two water molecules produce a hydronium ion and a hydroxide ion by transfer of a proton.
2
Q
pH
A
the negative of the common logarithm of the hydronium ion concentration; pouvoir hydrogene- hydrogen power;
pH= -log[H3O]
3
Q
pOH
A
the negative of the common logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration
4
Q
ionization constant of water
A
K (sub w); K (sub w)= [H3O][OH]
5
Q
basic
A
the [OH] is greater than the [H3O]
6
Q
neutral
A
[H3O]= [OH]
7
Q
acidic
A
[H3O] is greater than [H3O]
