Chemistry Flashcards
Antacid
A weak base
Arrhenius Theory
Acid - proton donor
Base - hydroxyl donor
Brønsted-lowry theory
Acid - proton donator
Base - proton acceptor
Water is amphoteric
Strong acid- strong tendency to give up proton
Weak acid- weak tendency to give up proton
Lewis theory
Lewis acid - electron pair acceptor
Lewis base - electron pair donor
Both combine to make adduct
Uses valence electron (outer e-)
pH and [H3O+] equation?
pH= -log[H3O+] [H3O+]= 10-pH
Kw equation and what is it at 25°C?
Kw= [H3O+][OH-]
25°C kw is 1x10-14
Strong acids? Strong base?
HCL HBr HI H2SO4
NaOH KOH
Weak acid? Weak base?
Acetic acid (ethanoic acid) HF H2O
NH3 HS- H2O
Ka and pKa equation?
Ka= [H3O+][A-] ÷ [HA]
pKa= -logKa Ka= 10-pKa
Acid strength of pKa?
The stronget the acid the lower the pKa
The weaker the acid the higher the pKa
pH and pKa ionisation?
Acids pH = pKa 50% ionized pH = pKa +1 90% pH = pKa +2 99% pH = pKa +3 99.9%
Base pH = pKa 50% pH = pKa -1 90% pH = pKa -2 99% pH = pKa -3 99.9%
What is pKa?
Measure of how easily a molecule will release a proton
Electronegativity?
The ability of an atom to pull bonding electrons towards itself. F is most electronegative
Hybridization
Promoting an electron to an empty p orbital to form an sp3 orbital
2e- = linear = 180° = sp 3e- = trigonal planar = 120° = sp2 4e- = tetrahedral = 109.5° = sp3
Single bond is sigma
Double bond is one sigma and one pie bond
Buffer?
The ability to resist changes in pH upon the addition of small amounts of either acid or base
Equivalence point is when the pH and Base are at the same point
Henderson Hasselbalch equation
pH = pKa + log ([conjugate base] ÷ [acid])
Alkane pKa
> 50
Alkynes pKa
