Properties of acids & bases (Unit 3, Ch 3)

Question 1

a substance that can donate hydrogen ions (H+)

Answer 1

Proton donor

Question 2

an acid that can donate one hydrogen ion per molecule

Answer 2

Monoprotic acid

Question 3

an acid that can donate more than one hydrogen ion per molecule

Answer 3

Polyprotic acid

Question 4

the reaction in which a water molecule loses a hydrogen ion to become a hydroxide ion (OH-) and the hydrogen ion immediately reacts with another water molecule to form a hydronium (H3O+)

Answer 4

self-ionization of water

Question 5

a measure of hydroxide ion concentration in a solution and consequently a measure of basicity

Answer 5

pOH

Question 6

~ acids donate protons (H+)

~ bases accept protons

Answer 6

Bronsted-Lowry model

Question 7

a molecule or ion that can either donate or accept a proton and so therefore can act as an acid or base

Answer 7

Amphiprotic

Question 8

a solution that resists changes in pH when small quantities of acids or alkalis are added

Answer 8

Buffer solution
