week 2 Flashcards
arrhenious acid
substance that dissacociates in water to create H+ ions
arrehenious base
substance that dissacosiates in water to produce OH- ions
brownstead-lowry acid
substance that can transfer H+ ions
browntead-lowry acid
substance that can accept H+ ions
conjugate acid-base pairs
chemical species whos formulas differ only by one H+ ion
when acid is added to water, H2O serves as the BLANK
base
when base is added to water, H2O serves as the BLANK
acid
pH less than 7
acidic
weak acid
an acid that is only partially dissacosiated in water and is thus a weak electrolight
pH = 7
neutral
pH bigger than 7
basic
acid-base indicator
a substance that changes color in a specific pH range. indicators exhibit pH-dependant color changes because they are weak acids and have differnt colors in their acid and conjigate base
the larger the Ka the BLANK the acid
stronger
% dissacosiated acid =
= concentration of acid dissasociated/concentration of acid innitial x 100%
polyprotic acids
acids that have more than one hydrogen on it that can make an acid
