Chapter 17 Flashcards
proton donor
acid
proton acceptor
base
proton transfer
acid/base reaction
what remains of the acid after it donates a proton
conjugate base
species formed when the base accepts a proton
conjugate acid
- strength of the H-X bond
- polarity of the H-X bond
2 factors that influence which acid undergoes ionization
hydrogen and nonmetal
binary acids
binary acids formed between hydrogen and halogens
hydrohalic acids
contain hydrogen, oxygen, and a central nonmetal (X)
- contain one or more O-H bonds
Oxoacids
organic acids with the structure
carboxylic acids
water can as act as either acid or base
- acts as a very weak electrolyte
-autoionization
Is an a amphoteric
can ionize by itself
auto ionization
ionize only to a limited extent in water
weak acids
similar treatment as for weak acids
Weak bases
undergo series of ionizations
Diprotic and polyprotic acids
