MODULE 4 Flashcards
donates protons (Lowry-Bronsted) accepts electrons (Lewis)
ACID
accept protons (Lowry-Bronsted) donates electrons (Lewis)
BASE
complexation reaction between two or more species
COMPLEX
species with at least one Lewis basic
site which can participate in complex formation.
LIGAND
a compound which is almost completely dissociated in solution.
STRONG ELECTROLYTE
a compound which remain significantly undissociated in solution.
WEAK ELECTROLYTE
handling quantities which vary in magnitude through many powers of ten.
P NOTATION
states that the position of an equilibrium always shifts in
such a direction as to relieve a stress that is applied to the system.
LE CHATELIER’S PRINCIPLES
is a shift in the position of an equilibrium caused by adding one
of the reactants or products to a system
MASS ACTION EFFECT
used to calculate the pH of butter solution in the form of its negative logarithm and inverting the concentration ratio to keep all signs positive
HENDERSON HASSELBALCH EQUATION
most helpful when predicting whether a species will donate or
accept protons at a specific pH value.
Ka, pKa, Kb, pKb
ionize essentially completely in a solvent
STRONG ELECTROLYTE
ionize only partially.
WEAK ELECTROLYTE
this are substances have natural positive or negative electric charges when dissolve in water
ELECTROLYTE
formed when an acid loses a proton.
