the Ion product of water Flashcards
The acidic and basic properties of aqueous solutions are dependent on the ___________
Equilibrium that involves the water, solvent
For the ionization of water, the equilibrium constant expression can be written as:
Kw = [H+] × [OH−], where Kw is the ion product of water at 25C, Kw = 1.0 x 10^-14
Weak acids (Bronsted-Lowry Reaction) most weak acids fall into two categories:
Molecules containing an ionizable H atom
Cation
Weak acid category: Thousands of molecular weak acids
Molecules containing an ionizable H atom
Among the molecular inorganic weak acids is _________
