IONIC EQUILIBRIA AND BUFFERED SOLUTIONS Flashcards
a substance that ionizes in water to produce hydrogen ions, H+
Arrhenius acid
a substance that dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions, OH
Arrhenius base
acid is a proton (hydrogen ion) donor.
Brønsted-Lowry Acid
is a proton (hydrogen ion) acceptor.
Brønsted-Lowry base
Proton concept of Brønsted-Lowry
base + acid ↔ conjugate acid + conjugate base

- Numeric scale used to specify the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution
The negative logarithm of H+ concentration

pH
Danish chemist in pH
Søren Peder Lauritz Sørensen in 1909

Basic
=pH 7
Neutral
<pH7
down to o
Acidic
May be considered as weak acids or weak bases that exhibit color changes as their degree of dissociation varies with pH.
