(1) Acids & Bases - The Basics - Aqa A2 Chemistry - Unit 4 - 3.4.3

Front 1

Brønsted-Lowry acids are:

Back 1

Proton donors.

Front 2

Brønsted-Lowry bases are:

Back 2

Proton acceptors.

Front 3

All acid base reactions MUST involve:

Back 3

The transferring of protons.

Front 4

In the reverse reaction we get conjugate acids/bases:

1) The conjugate acid?

2) The conjugate base?

Back 4

1) Whatever loses the proton in the reverse reaction.

2) Whatever gains the proton in the reverse reactoin.

Front 5

Dissociation is:

1) Strong acids/bases?

2) Weak acids/bases?

Back 5

The process in which a molecule breaks up into its ions within a solution.

1) Almost completely dissociate into their ions in solution.

2) Only partially dissociate into their ions in solution.

Front 6

The general equation for the dissociation of an acid:

Back 6

HA ⇋ H^+ + A¯.

Front 7

The general equation for the dissociation of a base:

Back 7

B + H2O ⇋ BH^+ + OH¯
