exam 3 Flashcards
acids produce….
H3O+ ions when they dissolve in water
weak acid
an acid that only partially dissociates in aqueous solutions
strong acids
ionize completely when they dissolve in water
why do covalent bonds make something a weak acid
covalent bonds are harder to break
carboxylic acid
a compound containing the COOH functional group
the bronsted-lowery model defines acids as _____ and bases as _____
acids- H+ donors
Bases H+ acceptors
amphiprotic
describes a substance that can behave as either a proton acceptor or a proton donor
sodium hydrogen bicarbonate and water are examples of..
amphiprotic substances
neutralization reaction
a reaction that takes place when an acid reacts with a base and produces a solution of a salt in water
there must be one H+ ion for every OH- ion
total ionic equation
a balanced equation that shows all species, including spectator ions, present in a reaction, either as molecular materials or seperate ions
rules to write a total ionic equation
Write all strong electrolytes as separate ions, with each of their symbols followed by (aq).
Write all soluble nonelectrolytes—and all weak electrolytes, such as acetic acid—using their molecular formulas.
Use the molecular formula H2O(ℓ) for water when it is a reactant or product (as in a neutralization reaction).
Write insoluble solids and gases using their normal chemical formulas followed by (s) or (g) as appropriate.
spectator ion
an ion that is unchanged by a chemical reaction
net ionic equation
A balanced equation that describes the actual reaction taking place in solution; it is obtained by eliminating the spectator ions from the total ionic equation.
when is a compound not soluable
when solute solvant interactions are not strong enough to offset solute.-solute interactions
the strength of ion-ion interactions increase with___ and decrease with ____
increase with increasing charge
decrease with increasing ion size
