strong
Water is _____ meaning it can be both an acid or a base
amphoteric
The more H+ we have the more _____
acidic
The pH scale is logarithmic so a change of 1 actually scales to a change by a factor of ____
10
What is the pKa of water
16
Acid strength is relative and depends on the ability of the group to give up a proton. This measure is known as the _____
acid-dissociation constant (Ka)
the larger the Ka= the _____it is to remove the proton. meaning it is _____
easier; more acidic
which one would be more acidic? Ka or pKa? why?
pKa, because it lowers the values
Weak acids (do/do not) dissociate completely
do not
