TOPIC 10- ACIDS AND BASES Flashcards
increase hydrogen (π»+ ) concentrations in an aqueous solution.
Acids
increases hydroxide (ππ»-) concentrations in an aqueous solution.
Bases
are proton (π»+) donors.
Acids
are proton (π»+) acceptors.
Bases
When π» receives a proton, it becomes
hydronium (H3O+)
If the acid is strong, use a
forward arrow
If the acid is weak, use a
double-headed arrow
is everything that remains of the acid molecule
after a proton is lost.
conjugate base
is formed when the proton transfers to the base.
conjugate acid
consists of two substances related to
each other by the donating and accepting of a single proton.
conjugate acid-base pair
In strong acids, equilibrium lies far to the
right
In strong acids, almost all the original HA is ____________________ at equilibrium
dissociated (ionized)
Strong acids, yields a
weak conjugate base
an acid whose conjugate base is a much weaker base than water
Strong acids
What are the 7 strong acids?
β π»πΆπ (hydrochloric acid)
β π»πΌ (hydroiodic acid)
β π»π΅π (hydrobromic acid)
β π»ππ (nitric acid) 3
β π»πΆππ (chloric acid) 3
β π»πΆππ (perchloric acid) 4
β π» (sulfuric acid)
In weak acids, equilibrium lies far to the
left
In weak acids, most of the acid placed is still present as __ at equilibrium
HA
has a conjugate base that is a much stronger base than water
Weak Acids
has a higher (π»3O+) and a larger Ka value.
stronger acid
has a lower (π»3O+) and a smaller Ka value.
weaker acid
can act as either an acid or base
amphoteric substance
Example of amphoteric substance
water, π»πΆπ3- and
π»ππ42-
The [H3O+] and [OH-] are
inversely proportional
If [H3O+] > [OH-], the solution is
acidic
If [H3O+] < [OH-], the solution is
basic
