Strong Acids And Bases Flashcards
HCl
Hydrochloric acid (strong acid)
HBr
Hydrobromic acid (strong acid)
HI
Hydroiodic acid (strong acid)
HNO3
Nitric acid (strong acid)
HClO3
Chloric acid (strong acid)
HClO4
Perchloric acid (strong acid)
H2SO4
Sulfuric acid (strong acid)
LiOH
Lithium hydroxide (soluble strong base)
NaOH
Sodium hydroxide (soluble strong base)
KOH
Potassium hydroxide (soluble strong base)
Ba(OH)2
Barium hydroxide (soluble strong base)
Sr(OH)2
Strontium hydroxide (soluble strong base)
Ca(OH)2
Calcium hydroxide (soluble strong base)
Net ionic equation that applies to all reactions of strong acids and strong bases
H+(aq) + OH-(ag) —> H2O(l)
Reactions of weak acids and strong bases
Find net ionic equation (dissclude spectator ions from total ionic equation) and leave in molecular form
Strong electrolytes
Substances that dissociate completely when dissolved in water
Conduct electricity very well
Strong acids and strong bases
Weak electrolytes
Substances that dissociate partially
Conducts small current in aqueous solutions
Weak acids and weak bases
Weak acids
Any carboxylic acid, HF, HNO2, etc
Weak bases
Substances with NH group
(CH3CH2NH4 or NH3) etc
Non electrolytes
Do not dissociate at all when dissolved in water
No electrical conductivity
Solute particles are molecules
Solutions of molecular compounds (except acids and bases)
Ex. Alkanes, alchohols, carbohydrates (sugar, glucose)
Compare ions in strong, weak, non electrolytes
Strong electrolytes: many ions (strong conductors)
Weak electrolytes: few ions (poor conductors)
Non electrolytes: no ions (do not conduct electricity)
