pH and Buffer Flashcards
Substances that dissociates when dissolved in water and produces H+
Arrhenius Acids
Substances that dissociates and release OH- ions
Arrhenius Bases
Limitations onf Arrhenius Theory
- Arrhenius theory is limited to behavior of acids and bases in aqeous solutions and not in non-aqueous media.
- Manu substances do not have H+, but behave as acids (NH4Cl, CO2)
- Substances do not have Oh-, but behave as bases (Na2CO3, CaO)
The complete separation of ions in a crystal lattice when a salt is dissolved
Ionization
Separation of ions in solution when the ions are associated by interionic attraction
Dissociation
Hydrogen-containing substance that donates a proton/H+ to another substance
Bronsted-Lowry Acids
Substance that accepts a proton/H+
Brownsted-Lowry Bases
Molecule that can accept a pair of e- to form a dative bond
Lewis Acids
Molecule that can donate a pair of e- to form a dative bond
Lewis Bases
