Chem Lesson 4: 14.1 - 14.3 Flashcards
Bronsted Lowry Acid
Give up a proton (H+)
Bronsted Lowry Base
Accepts/Receives a proton (H+)
Conjugate Base
The species that remains when an acid donates a H+
Conjugate Acid
When a base accepts a proton (H+)
Acid Ionization
Reaction between a Bronsted Lowry acid and water
Base Ionization
Reaction between a Bronsted Lowry base and water
Amphiprotic
Capable of accepting and donating protons (polyatomic)
Autoionization
When two of the same molecules react to yield ions.
Water breaking down into hydronium and hydroxide.
H2O(l) + H2O(l) —> <— H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Kw (Definition)
Ion product constant for water (equlibrium)
Let’s us to see the concentrations of either the [OH-] and/or [H3O+] in water.
Kw (temp and value)
25c and 1.0*10^-14
Amphoteric Elements (how can you tell by looking at molecule if it can be both and Acid or Base?)
H—-^- (Start with H and end with a neg charge)
H2O or NH3
Neutral Solution
Contains equal concentrations of hydronium (or H+) and hydroxide ions.
Acidic Solutions
Contains higher concentrations of hydronium (or H+) than hydroxide.
Basic Solution
Contains higher concentration of hydroxide (OH-) in comparison with hydronium (or H+)
PH
Measures the concentration of H+ ions in solution in comparison to hydroxide ions. (Tells us how acidic a solution is).
POH
Measures the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution in comparison to H+. (Tells us how basic a solution is)(OH-)
PH and POH vs [H+] [OH-]
-PH and POH tells us how basic/acids a solution is. (The concentrations of each compared to each other)
-[H+] [OH-] tells us how many moles of H+ OH- are in a solution.
PH (equation)
PH = -log[H+]
POH (equation)
PH = -log[OH-]
Find Molar of H given PH (equation)
H = 10^-PH
Find Molar OH given PH (equation)
OH = 10^-PH
Sig Fig log rule (PH and OH)
Keep as many decimal places are there sig figs in the question when working with log
PH < 7
More acidic. (More H+ than OH-)
PH > 7
More basic. (More OH- than H+)
PH Scale rule/equation (How much more basic is 9 to 7 on the PH scale?)
10^deltaPH
10^9-7 = 10 ^2 = 100 times
PH + POH = 14 (can only be used at what temp?)
At 25c
Strong Acids (def)
Ionize to a great extent in water to create hydronium. More readily to give up an proton.
Strong Acids Mnemonic
So I Brought No Clean Clothes
Strong Bases (Period Table) - what do they exclude as well?
Group 1 and group 2 cations, besides the first and last in each group.
The stronger the acid or base the x its conjugate partner. (x = weaker or stronger?)
Weaker
Ka * Kb = Kw = 1.0*10^-14
