Unit 4: Questions Flashcards
Acid formula begins with:
H+
e.g. HCl, HF, H2S, HNO3, H3PO4, etc.
Base formulas are usually _ compounds that contain _.
ionic, hydroxide
e.g. NaOH, Ba(OH)2, NH3, etc.
In aqueous solutions acids (gain/lose) H+?
lose H+
In aqueous solutions bases USUALLY dissociate into _ + _ ions?
Bases ALWAYS acquire _ in rxns?
metal + OH- ions
H+
Constants for acids Ka:
[H2PO4-] [H3O+]/
[H3PO4]
Constants for bases Kb:
[NH2OH]/
[NH3]
Ionization definition
convert (atom, molecule, or substance) into an ion or ions typically by removing one or more electrons
Ka is >1: (strongly/weakly) acidic, (high/low) % ionization
strongly acidic, high % ionization
Ka is <1: (strongly/weakly) acidic, (high/low) % ionization
weakly acidic, low % ionization
(high/low) Kb= strong base?
high
(high/low) Kb= weak base?
low

Sting and burn
Litmus: turns blue paper red
Sour (function of tongue)
Properties of bases: (1)
Touch:
Litmus: turns _ paper _
Tastes:
Electrolytes
Slippery (still very damaging)
Litmus: turns red paper blue
Bitter
If the first atom is (_ color) = acid
yellow
Naming Binary acids
“hydro-(anion)-ic acid”
Naming Polyatomic acids
“ite” =
“ate” =
"ite" = "(polyatomic name)-ous acid" "ate" = "(polyatomic name)-ic acid"
Naming Sulfur (exceptions)
Binary=
“ite” =
“ate” =
Binary = Hydrosulfuric acid "ite" = sulfurous acid "ate" = sulfuric acid
Naming Phosphorus (exceptions)
Binary=
“ite”=
“ate”=
Binary = hydrophosphoric acid
“ite” =phosphorous acid
“ate” = phosphoric acid
Acids ALWAYS react with water to produce _
hydronium ion (H3O+)
