Q

Name a weak base

A

aqueous ammonia, NH_3

17
Q

Describe the actions of acids and bases as electrolytes

A
  • strong acids and strong bases dissociate completely into ions in a aqueous solution; they are strong electrolytes and conduct well in a solution
  • weak acids and weak bases dissociate very little in ions in aqueous solution; they are weak electrolytes and conduct poorly in solution
18
Q

Structural features of strong acids

A
  • hydrohalic acids -> HCl, HBr, HI
  • oxoacids in which the numebr of Oxygen atoms exceeds the number of ionizable protons by two or more

example: HNO_3 -> 3 oxygen -1 hydrogen = 2

example: H_2SO_4 -> 4 - 2 =2

19
Q

structural features of weak acids

A
  • singular hydrohalic HF
  • H is not bonded to oxygen or a halogen
  • oxoacids in which number of oxygen atoms equals or exceeds number of ionizable protons by one

example: HClO -> 1-1=O (oxygen - hydrogen)

  • carboxylic acids, have general formula of RCOOH
20
Q

structural features of strong bases

A
  • water soluble compounds containing OH- ions
  • cations usually most active metals:
  • MOH, M is group 1A metal (Li, Na)
  • M(OH)_2, M is group 2A metal (Ca, Sr, Ba)
21
Q

Bronsted-Lowry acid

A

donates protons in a proton transfer reaction; an acid is a proton donor, while a base is a proton acceptor
