|
What is the Arrhenius Theory on acids and bases?
|
An acid would produce H+ ions in water and a base would produce OH- ions in water.
|
|
|
What is the Bronsted-Lowry theory on acids and bases?
|
an acid donates protons and a base accepts protons.
|
|
|
What is the Lewis theory on acids and bases?
|
An acid is a substance that accepts an electron pair and a base is a substance that donates an electron pair.
|
|
|
What is nomenclature?
|
The system of naming chemical compounds.
|
|
|
What is one way to recognize if a compound is an acid?
|
When the compound starts with an H (hydrogen).
|
|
|
What kind of compounds are the exception to determining if the compound is an acid?
|
organic compounds, such as, CH3COOH (acetic acid).
|
|
|
What is the conjugate base of the ammonium ion (NH4+)?
|
Ammonia (NH3)
|
|
|
What happens after an acid has given up a proton?
|
The remaining part can become a proton acceptor, in other words, a Bronsted-Lowry base.
|
|
|
What is the definition of polyprotic?
|
In relation to an acid that can donate more than one proton to a base and a base that can accept more than one proton.
|
|
|
What are polyprotic acids?
|
Polyprotic acids can lose more than one H+ ion when they act as Bronsted acids (example:sulfuric acid, H2SO4)
|
|
|
What is the conjugate acid of a phosphate ion (PO4 3-)?
|
HPO4 2-
|
|
|
What is the formula of sulfuric acid?
|
H2SO4
|
|
|
Why is CH3CO2H (acetic acid) an acid?
|
1. the electronegativity of the oxygen atoms causes the hydrogen attached to oxygen to be highly positive.
2. The O-H bond is highly polar. 3. The hydrogen atom of O-H is readily attracted to the polar H2O. |
|
|
What are the three acid-base theories?
|
Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis theory
|
|
|
How are binary acids named?
|
1. the prefix "hydro" is used.
2. the root of the anion is used. 3. the suffix "ic" is used. 4. the word "acid" is used as the second word in the name. |
