Chapter 9; Acids and Bases, pH, and Buffers Flashcards
what is acid base homeostasis range
7.35 - 7.45
proper organ function requires blood pH
what is the range of blood pH for it to be acidosis
pH < 7.35
what is the range of blood pH for it to be alkalosis
pH > 7.45
what is the blood pH ranges
6.6 - 8.0
what do acids produce in aqueous solutions
hydronium ions, H subscript 3 O+ ; H3O+
what do bases produce in aqueous solutions
hydroxide ions, OH-
according to the Arrhenius definition what are the two conditions
- an acid is a substance that produces hydronium ions, H3O+
- and a base is a substance that produces hydroxide ions, OH-, in aqueous solution
what are group 1A hydroxide salts in ionic compounds containing hydroxide ions being bases
NaOH, KOH
soluble in water
strong electrolytes
dissolve entirely to produce ions in water
what are 2A hydroxide salts in ionic compounds containing hydroxide ions being bases
Ca(OH)2, Mg(OH)2
slightly soluble in water
weak electrolytes (not many ions)
dissolve slightly to produce few ions in water
ionic compounds composed of hydroxide ion (OH-) are bases because they produce
solvated hydroxide ions in solution
are soluble hydroxide ion salts (group 1A salts strong or weak electrolytes
strong
are slightly soluble hydroxide ion salts (group 2A salts) strong or weak electrolytes
weak
in the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, how are an acid and base differentiated
acid: a proton (H+) donor
base: a proton (H+) acceptor
in bronsted lowry theory what is the term of neutral acid loses proton to form
conjugate base
(one fewer H+ and, a -1 charge; compared to formula of acid
in bronsted Lowry theory what is the term when water acts as a base, accepting proton to form
conjugate acid
(one more H+, a +1 charge; compared to formula of base)
what does a base combine with to produce its conjugate acid
H+
base + H+ (<-,->) conjugate acid
according to the Bronsted Lowry theory, can water accept and/or donate a proton
can accept or donate
can water act as an acid or a base according to the bronsted Lowry theory
both
what is the term under the bronsted Lowry theory for any substance that can act as an acid or a base
amphoteric compound
in a conjugate acid-base pair; an acid and its conjugate base or a base and its conjugate acid are called a conjugate acid-base pair
yes
can all H+ be donated
usually indicated at the beginning of the formula
e.g
HCl -> Cl- chloride ion
HC2H3O2 -> C2H3O2- acetate ion
the strength of an acid depends on the ….
extent to which the acid donates a proton to water
the strength of a base depends on the extent to which…
the base accepts a proton from water
strong acids dissociate in water […] to form a conjugate base and hydronium ions
