GChemOChem - Acids and Bases Flashcards
There are 3 ways to describe an acid or base. Arrhenius, Lewis, and Bronsted Lowry
Arrhenius acid is a species that _____ hydrogen ions
produces
Arrhenuis base is a species that produces _____ ions
hydroxde
Arrhenius base can react with an arrhenius acid in a _________ reactionb
neutralizion. (OH- and H to make HOH (water))
Acids are red and bases are ___
blue
Bronsted-Lowry produces H. A bronsted bade ____ H
accepts
When a BL acid loses a proton, it forms it conjugate ____
base (ie H2O (acid)–>OH- (conj. base))
When a BL base gains a proton it becomes a conj ___
acid
Lewis acid is a species that acts as an electron-pair ______ and are electrophiles
accept
Lewis base is a species that act as an electron pair _____. Lew bases are nucleophiles
donor
What charge is the nucleus?
postive (think raisin bun model a positive core with surrounding e-)
a question differentiating b/w a lewis model against arrhenius or BL is likely
when something is becoming more electrophilic it means it is becominig more positive or negative?
postive
the conjugate of a strong acid NEVER reacts with H+
strong acids completely ionize in water
List the 5 common strong acids
HCl
HBr
HI
H2SO4
HNO3
Strong bases are NaOH and KOH and all of the first two columns with OH- in the PT
H2CO3 is a ____ acid
weak
anything with a -COOH is a ___ acd
weak
