What is the Arrhenius model of acids and bases?

1) acids dissociate and release H⁺ ions in aqueous solution
2) alkalis dissociate and release OH⁻ ions in aqueous solution
3) H⁺ ions are neutralised by OH⁻ ions to form water:
H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) –> H₂O)(l)

Are carbonates acids or bases?

bases

acid + carbonate -->

salt + water + carbon dioxide

What is an acid neutralised by to form a salt and water only?

1) solid metal oxide | 2) solid metal hydroxide

acid + base/alkali —>

salt + water

For any solution at 25°C:

1) pH less than 7 shows increasing acidity 2) pH greater than 7 shows increasing alkalinity 3) pH 7 is neutral

acid + base --> | acid + alkali -->

salt + water

2H⁺(aq) + MgO(s) -->

Mg²⁺(aq) + H₂O(l)

What is the ionic equation of neutralisation?

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) --> H₂O(l)

What is pH?

Simple numerical scale measuring hydrogen ion concentrations

For any solution at 25°C:

1) pH < 7 = increasing acidity 2) pH > 7 = increasing alkalinity 3) pH 7 = neutral

Does a low value of [H⁺(aq)] match a high or low pH?

high

Does a high value of [H⁺(aq)] match a high or low pH?

low

What is the mathematical relationship between pH and [H⁺(aq)]?

pH = -log[H⁺(aq)]

pH =

-log[H⁺(aq)]

What is the reverse of pH = -log[H⁺(aq)]?

[H⁺(aq)] = 10⁻ᵖᴴ

How many more H⁺ ions does a pH of 1 have than a pH of 2?

10 times

How many more H⁺ ions does a pH of 1 have than a pH of 14?

10¹³

[H⁺(aq)] =

10⁻ᵖᴴ

HA(aq) -->

H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq)

For a strong acid, what is [H⁺(aq)] equal to?

the concentration of the acid, [HA(aq)]

For a strong acid, what can the pH be directly calculated from?

the concentration of the acid

What are the terms strong and weak used to describe?

The extent of dissociation of an acid

What is Kₐ?

the acid dissociation constant

What does the general formula HA(aq) --> H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) show?

The dissociation of any weak acid, HA

How is the acid dissociation constant Kₐ calculated?

Kₐ = [H⁺(aq)] [A⁻(aq)] / [HA(aq)]

What are the units of the acid dissociation constant, Kₐ?

mol dm⁻³

Is the Kₐ expression used for strong or weak acids?

weak

The larger the numerical value of Kₐ, the further the equilibrium is to which side?

right

pKₐ =

-logKₐ

What is the reverse of pKₐ = -logKₐ?

Kₐ = 10⁻ᵖᴷᵃ

The stronger the acid, the ___ the Kₐ value and the ___ the pKₐ value.

1) larger | 2) smaller

The weaker the acid, the ___ the Kₐ value and the ___ the pKₐ value.

1) smaller | 2) larger

When a strong acid HA completely dissociates, [H⁺(aq)] =

[HA(aq)]

When a weak acid partially dissociates, [H⁺(aq)] ≠

[HA(aq)]

What does [H⁺(aq)] depend upon?

1) the concentration of the acid, [HA(aq)] | 2) the acid dissociation constant Kₐ

How can you determine the Kₐ for a weak acid experimentally?

1) preparing a standard solution of the weak acid of known concentration 2) measuring the pH of the standard solution using a pH meter
