chem ch 16 Flashcards
An acid, when dissolved in water, ____
increases conc of H+ ions
A base, when dissolved in water ______
inc conc of hydroxide, OH- ions
An acid is a proton ______
donor
A base is a proton _______
acceptor
An acid must have at least one ________
removable, acidic proton H+ to donate
Base must have at least one ________
non bonding pair of e- to accept a proton
Amphiprotic molecules
HCO3- , HSO4- , H2O
When a H+ ion is formed in water…
it wont be alone for long, H bonds will form
Water is an acid or base…
base, will abstract a H+ ion from acid
-the conj base of the acid and a hydronium ion are formed
Water is amphiprotic because…
it can accept a proton from acid, and it can donate a proton like an acid would.
Conj acid base pair
two formulas that differ by H+, and dont have strong acid or strong base
Reactions between acids and bases always yield…
their conj bases and acids
Strong acids
their conj bases dont act as acid in water
strong bases
their conj acids dont act as acids in water
In every acid base rxn, equilibrium favors ….
transfer of the proton from the stronger acid to the stronger base, to form the weaker acid and the weaker base.
Autoionization
a few molecules act as bases and a few act as acids
Kc= ….
Kc= [H3O+][OH-]
Kw, or ion product constant for water, is …
at 25deg C, Kw= 1.0*10^-14
[H+] = [OH-]
neutral soln
[H+] > [OH-]
acidic soln
[H+]< [OH-]
basic soln
pH is the
hydrogen ion conc
pH=…..
pH=-log[H+]
Neutral pH, Acidic pH, Basic pH`
7, below 7, above 7
pOH=
pOH=-log[OH-]
pKw=
pKw= -log Kw
____ + ____ = pKw = 14
pH + pOH
how does pH meter work
electrodes indicate small changes in voltage to detect pH
