Chem - reactivity - Acids and bases Flashcards
What is the Lowery theory
Acids are proton donors and bases are proton acceptors. An acid is any substance which produces H3O ions in water
What are the types of acids
Strong - completely dissociates in water
Weak - partially dissociates in water - Forming a equilibrium - The weaker the acid the less it dissociates and the more the equilibrium lies to the left
What are the types of bases
Strong - Completely dissociates in water
Weak - partially dissociates in water forming a equilibrium
What is a amphiprotic substance
Some species such as water can act as a acid or base
What are conjugate acids and bases
Acids are related to bases ACID = Proton + conjugate base
Bases are related to acids BASE + proton = conjugate acid
What is important to know about basic and acidic salts
Water is not in the reaction instead is represented on the arrow
If it is a ____ base it will have a _____ PH and a ____ H3O
Strong, High, Low
If it is a Strong ____ it will have a ____ PH and a ____ amount of H3O
Acid,Low,High
What do weak bases/ acids form
Equilibriums
