U2 AOS1 Chapter 10 A&B Flashcards
acid base reaction
H+ is transferred from the acid to the base
acid
species that donates a proton during an acid base reaction
alkali
water-soluble base that neutralises acids
amphiprotic
A species that can either accept or donate a proton.
base
species that accepts a proton
Bronsted Lowry theory
defines an acid as a hydrogen-ion donor, and a base as a hydrogen-ion acceptor
corrosive
Highly reactive substance that causes obvious damage to other substances
deprotonation
loss of a proton; forming of an acid
diprotic
an acid that can donate up to two protons
hydronium ion
positive ion, H30+
hydroxide ion
negative ion, OH-
monoprotic
An acid that can only donate one proton
neutralise
react with acid or base to produce water
polyprotic
an acid that can donate multiple protons during ionisation
protonated water
hydronium, H3O+
triprotic
an acid able to donate up to three protons
strength
how readily an acid or base ionises
properties of acids
- sour
- molucular
- poorly conducts electricity
- corrosive
- dissolves in water
- H+ ions
- red litmus stays red, blue litmus turns red
properties of bases
- bitter
- ionic
- conducts electricity
- can be corrosive
- dissolves in water
- red litmus turns blue, blue litmus stays blue
acid equation eg.
HNO3 + H2O <-> NO3- +H3O+
base equation (water) eg.
NH3 + H2O <-> NH4+ + OH-
