Chapter 6: Acids & Bases Flashcards
What is the definition of Acids from Arrhenius’s theory?
Ionized in water, produces hydrogen ion.
What is the definition of Bases from Arrhenius’s theory?
Ionize in water, produces hydroxide ion.
What is the definition of Acids from the Revised theory?
Compounds which react with water to produce hydronium ions.
What is the definition of Bases from the Revised theory?
Compounds which react with water to produce hydroxide ions.
What are the properties of Strong Acids?
- 100% ionization in water.
- All acids will break into its ions.
- All hydrogen ions will react with water.
- Forms a large amount of hydronium ions.
What are the properties of Weak Acids?
- ~50% ionization in water.
- Not all acids will break into its ions.
- Some of the hydrogen ions will react with water.
- Forms a small amount of hydronium ions.
What are the properties of Strong Bases?
- 100% dissociation in water.
- All bases will break into its ions.
- All hydroxide ions will react with water.
- Forms a large amount of hydroxide ions.
What are the properties of Weak Bases?
- ~50% dissociation in water.
- Not all bases will break into its ions.
- Some of the hydroxide ions will react with water.
- Forms a small amount of hydroxide ions.
What are Monoprotic Acids?
Acids which have only one hydrogen and can react with water only once.
What are Polyprotic Acids?
- Acids which include more than one hydrogen ions in their compound formulas.
- They can react more than once with water.
What are Polyprotic Bases?
Bases which react with water in two or more steps to produce hydroxide ions.
Is pH a logarithmic scale?
Yes
What is the special number that pH + pOH add up to?
14
What is neutralization?
Acid + Base = salt + water
What are the reactants and products in a neutralization reaction?
Hydronium + Hydroxide ions = salt + water
