Chem112B Exam 3 Flashcards
7 strong acids
HCl, HBr, HI, HClO3, HClO4, H2SO4, HNO3
8 strong bases
LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2
Strong acids/bases dissociation rule
Strong electrolytes and dissociate 100%
Group 1A and heavy 2A hydroxides are…
strong bases
The conjugate base of a strong acid is a
negligible base
The conjugate acid of a strong base is a
negligible acid
For weaker acids and bases, the stronger the the acid, the
weaker its conjugate base
Amines functional group is
weak base
Carboxylic acids and thiol functional groups are
weak acids
acid –>
H + conjugate base
Arrhenius acid
Produce H+ when dissolved in water
Arrhenius base
Produce OH- when dissolved in water
Bronsted acids donate
H
Bronsted bases accept
H
Amphoteric
Can act as either acid or base (H2O)
H + group 1A/2A metals =
basic in water
H + nonmetal
acidic in water
Regarding H + nonmetal, if same group…
larger atoms=more acidic
Regarding H + nonmetal, if same row,
more electronegativity=more acidic
Oxide + 1A/2A =
Basic
Oxide + nonmetal =
Acidic
Oxide + border metals/nonmetals =
Amphoteric
Lewis acids
accept electrons
Lewis bases
donate electrons and must have at least 1 lone pair
Lewis acids charge
+ or neutral
Lewis bases charge
- or neutral
Lewis acids common examples
Transition metals, group III and small group II cations, incomplete octets (BF3)
Lewis bases common examples
NH3, H20, F-, CN-
Group 1A and heavy group 2A oxides/hydroxides are
basic
Non-metal oxides/hydroxides are
acidic
