Q

What are conjugate acid base pairs

A

Conjugate pairs and linked by the transfer of a proton the species that has lost a proton is a conjugate base and a species that is gaining a proton is a conjugate acid

Q

Why is water a special case for conjugate acid base pairs

A

With acids water forms a conjugate acid where is with bases it forms a conjugate base

Q

Describe the development of the acid-base theory

A

In 1754 Guillame said a base react with an acid to give a solid form
In 1884 Arhenius says acid forms h+ ions and bases form oh- ions
In 1923 bronsted Lowry says an acid donates a proton and a base accepts it

16
Q

Ka=

A

Ka= |H+| |A-| / |HA|

17
Q

What is PKa

A

PKa is a negative logarithm of Ka

18
Q

Ka=

In terms of pKa

A

Ka= 10-pKa

19
Q

pKa=

A

pKa=-logKa

20
Q

What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid

A

A strong acid completely dissociates and a weak acid partially dissociates

21
Q

What approximations are made with weak acids

A

H A produces equal concentrations of h plus and a minus
Ha is larger than H+
The dissociation of water is negligible

22
Q

In weak acids Ka=

A

Ka= |H+|^2/ |HA|

23
Q

What is the ionic product of water kW

A

kW is the product of ions formed in the partial dissociation of water

24
Q

kW=

A

kW= |H+| |OH-|

25
Q

What is kw at 25 degrees

A

kW= 1x10-14 mol2dm-6

26
Q

Does temperature affect kW

A

Temperature varies the value of kW

27
Q

Does concentration affect kW

A

Concentration affect kW
