Honors - Unit 8 - Acids & Bases Flashcards
Strong Acid
Completely dissociates.

Weak Acid
Weak acids are not fully ionized or dissociated.

Properties of Acids

Sour
Properties of Bases

Bitter and slippery
Acids
Electron acceptors.
Yeild H+ Ions in solution.
H+ donor.
Bases
Electron donator.
Yeilds OH- in solution.
H+ Ion acceptor.
Hydronium Ion
[H+]
Hydroxide Ion
[OH-]
NEUTRALIZATION REACTION

When an acid and base react in solution to form salt and water.
Products of an acid/base reaction
Salt + Water
Amphoteric

Acid or Base
pH, pOH, [H+], [OH-] Calculation Road Map

pH Scale
pH = (-) log [H+]
pOH = - log [OH-]
pH + pOH = 14
[H+] = 2nd Log (-) pH
[OH-] = 2nd Log (-) pOH
[H+] [OH-] = 1E-14

If the [H+] =1E-5 in a Coca-Cola what is the concentration of [OH-]? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
[H+] [OH-] = 1E-14
[OH-] = (1E-14) / ([H+])
[OH-] = (1E-14) / (1E-5)
[OH-] = 1E-9
The solution is acidic because 1E-5 is less than 1E-7.
Determine the conjugate acid/base pairs.
NH3 + H2O —> NH4+ + OH-

How would you calculate the pH of a solution with a hydronium concentration of 1E-5 M?
pH = -log 1E-5 =5
Calculate the pH of a solution with a Hydronium ion concentration of 1.3E-9 M
pH= -log(1.3E-9) =8.89
Dilute
relatively small concentration of solute

Concentrated
relatively large concentration of solute
Concentration
amount of solute per solvent
(Molarity & molality)
