Unit C: Outcome 2: Topics 4-6 Flashcards
Arhenius Theory Acids
Acids ionize in water to produce hydrogen ions plus an anion
Arhenius Theory Bases
Bases are ionic compounds that dissociate into a cation and a hydroxide ion
Formula for Arhenius Acid
acid ➡ hydrogen ions + anion
Formula for Arhenius Base
base ➡ cation and hydroxide
Why do acids ionize?
Ionizes because H+ goes into step to react with the water making H3O+
Modified Arrhenius Theory
Acids give up hydrogen ion, Bases take hydrogen ion when in water
Modified Arrhenius Theory Acids
Acids are substances that can give up a hydrogen ion in a
reaction with water
Modified Arrhenius Theory Bases
Bases are substances that can receive a hydrogen ion in a reaction with water.
Properties of Modified Arheinus Acid
-Produce Hydronium ions
-Starts with H or ends with COOH
-Special cases: water can both give up and accept hydrogen
ions
Properties of Modified Arhenius Base
-Produce Hydroixde ions
-Formula must be negative to accept H+
-NH3 takes H+, only exception
-Ionic compounds can take negatives when in water
Strong Acids
react completely (>99%) with water to produce hydronium ions
Weak Acids
reacts incompletely with water to from relatively few hydronium ions
True of False: You can have a concentrated weak acid
True, concentration has nothing to do with the strength of an acid.
True of False, Dilute Strong acids don’t exist
False, concentration has nothing to do with the strength of an acid.
Whats a good example of how concentration and dilute doesn’t interfere with the stregnth of an acid?
HA is a general formula for an acid, where HA is the acid,
H is the hydrogen ion and A is the anion in the acid molecule
Strong base
a soluble ionic compound containing OH-
> 99%
Weak base
a base which reacts only partially with water to produce hydroxide ions
<50%
Example of a strong base
Sodium Hydorixide
Example of a weak base?
Carbonate ion
Monoprotic acid
an acid that can only react once with water to produce a hydronium ion
Polyprotic acid
an acid that can react more than once with water to produce a hydronium ion
Example of a monoprotic acid
Hydrochloric acid
Example of a polyprotic acid
Phosphoric acid
Monoprotic Bases
can react only once with water to produce hydroxide ions
