What is a Bronsted Lowry acid?
Proton donor
What is a Bronsted Lowy base?
A proton acceptor
What is a lewis acid?
Electron acceptor
What is a lewis base?
Electron donor
What must a BL base always have?
Lone pair of electrons
Write an equation using the BL theory for the dissolving of NH3 in water
NH3(aq)+H20(l)–NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq)
NH3= BL base H20= BL acid
What is the definition for conjugate acid base pairs?
Two species that differ by a single proton
What does every BL reaction have?
Two conjugate acid base pairs
Dissociation of NH3 in water with conjugate acid base pairs
General equation for a BL reaction
Acid 1 + Base 2 – Base 1 + Acid 2
What are thermometric titrations?
- When an unknown concentration is added to a base of known volume and concentration
- Can be carried out to determine the concentration of a solution
- Temp of the mixture is recorded as the acid is added and results are plotted on a graph
Difference between monoprotic and diprotic acids?
Monoprotic = donates one proton Diprotic = Donates 2
Examples of 2 monoprotic acids
HCl and HNO3
Example of a diprotic acid
H2SO4
How to calculate the pH of a monoprotic acid?
pH = -log[H+}
Use the concentration of the acid as the H+
Calculate the pH of a 0.100moldm-3 solution of HCl
Hcl(aq) –H+(aq)+Cl-(aq)
pH = -log {H+]
pH= -log{0.100} = 1.00
