Unit 8 Flashcards
Acids and bases modern inorganic definition
Bronsted-Lowry
Acid
Any substance that can donate a H + ( proton)
HCl+H2O=H3O+ + Cl-
A. B. a. B
Autoionization
Acid in water automatically forms ions
Base
A substance that can accept a H + (proton)
NH3+HOH=NH4+ + OH-
B. a. A. B
Hydronium ion
Acid
Hydroxide ion
Base
Characteristics of acids
Sour Litmus red Colorless in phenolphthalein Neutralize bases-forms h2o and salt Corrosive-destroys metals liberates hydrogen gas ( oxidation) Produces H3O+ in water Formula starts with H Dilution of acids exothermic
Characteristics of bases
Bitter taste Litmus blue Pink in phenolphthalein Neutralize acids-forms salt and h20 Caustic-skin irritant, destroys epidermis cells Produces OH- in water Formula ends with -OH Dilution of bases is exothermic Hydrophilic-absorbs water from air
Strong Acids-HCl
Hydrochloric acid
Strong Acids-HBr
Hydrobromic acid
Strong Acids-HI
Hydroiodic acid
Strong Acids-HNO3
Nitric acid
Strong Acids-HClO4
Perchloric acid
Strong Acids-H2SO4
Sulfuric acid, 2protons=2 hydronium ions per molecule
Strong Acids-HClO3
Chloric acid
Strong acid definition
Ability of an acid to ionize 100% in water and produce 100% hydronium ions (H3O+)
Strong bases definition
Ability of the base to dissociate 100% in water to produce 100% hydroxide ions (OH-)
Strong bases to memorize
All group one metal hydroxides (LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH)
Only 3 group II hydroxides (Ca(OH)2, Ba(OH)2, Sr(OH)2
Reaction of acids-Ionization
HNO3+H20=H3O+ + NO3-
Nitric acid. Nitrate
Acid donates a proton to the water forming hydronium Ion and nitrate ion
Reaction of acids-Single replacement
Mg+2HBr=H2 + MgBr2
Metal replaces hydrogen in the acid forming hydrogen gas and salt. “Liberating”
Reactions of acids-neutralization
H2SO4 + 2NaOH=Na2SO4 + H2O
Sulfuric acid. Sodium hydroxide
Acid and base react to always form water (neutral) and salt
Neutralization reaction of HI + KOH
KI + H2O
In a neutralization reaction, moles of H3O+ always _____ moles of OH-
Equal
Dissociation of strong bases
LiOH + H2O
Break up
Li+ + OH- + H2O
