LEC ANACHEM Flashcards
Form ions when dissolved in water
Electrolytes
Ionizes completely in a solvent
Strong electrolytes
Ionizes partially in a solvent
Weak electrolytes
Classification of strong electrolytes
Inorganic acids, alkali, alkaline-earth hydroxides, most salts
Classification of weak electrolytes
Inorganic acids, organic acids, ammonia, organic bases, halides, cyanides, thiocyanates
Weakest organic acid
CH3COOH
Produced in the reaction of an acid with base
Salt
Theory that states that acid is a proton donor and base the acceptor
Brønsted-Lowry theory
According to the bronsted-lowry theory the acid is the?
Proton donor
According to the bronsted-lowry theory the base is the?
Proton acceptor
Is formed when an acid loses a proton
Conjugate base
Formed when a base accepts a proton
Conjugate acid
When the 2 process of conjugate acids and bases are combined it causes
Neutralization
It is the hydrated proton formed when water reacts with acid
Hydronium ion
Species that have both acidic and basic properties
Amphiprotic
Class of amphiprotic that contains weak acid and base functional group
Amino acids
An ion with both a negative and positive charge
Zwitterion
A solvent that can either act as a acid or base
Amphiprotic solvent
The process of self ionization of amphiprotic
Autoprotolysis
To achieve autoprotolysis what is needed
2 of the same compound
Other term for autoprotolysis
Autoionization
Spontaneous reaction of molecules of a substance to give a pair of ions
Autoprotolysis
Determines the strength of a solute acid or base dissolved in it
The tendency of a solvent to accept or donate protons
Acids dissociating to different degrees and have different strengths
Differentiating solvent
