Introduction Flashcards
Chemical processes in which an acid reacts with a
base.
NEUTRALIZATION REACTIONS
Acid-Base Theories
- Arrhenius Concept
- Bronsted-Lowry Concept
- Lewis Acid-Base Concept
Any substance which is capable of providing hydrogen ions
(or protons H+) in aqueous solution.
Acids
Any substance containing hydroxy groups and/or capable of
providing hydroxide ion (OH-
) in aqueous solution.
Bases
Limitations of the Arrhenius Concept
is limited in that it can only describe acid-base chemistry in aqueous solutions. Similar reactions can also occur in non-aqueous solvents, however, as well as between molecules in the gas phase.
Other name of Bronsted-Lowry Concept
Protonic concept
Other name of Protonic concept
Bronsted-Lowry Concept
Any substance capable of donating a proton (H+) in a chemical reaction (difference from Arrhenius?)
Acids
Any substance capable of accepting a proton (H+) in a chemical reaction
Bases
Brönsted acid ionizes to produce a _________ and the conjugate base of the acid.
Proton
Brönsted acid ionizes to produce a proton and the
________ of the acid.
Conjugate base
are usually neutral molecules or anions, although few cases of cations acting as proton acceptors
are known.
Brönsted bases
species formed when a base accepts a proton
Conjugate acid
Strong acids have ________ and similarly, strong bases have ________
weak conjugate bases, weak conjugate acids
Any substance which can accept a share in a pair of
electrons in a reaction.
Acids
