Arrhenius definition of acid/base
ACID is something that releases H+ in solution. (acid, acid species)

BASE is something that releases OH- in solution (base, base species)
Compound that results from neutralization reaction
H20
Why does NH3 not clearly fit the Arrhenius definition of a base?
It doesn't not have OH- in its formula
Bronsted-Lowry: acid/base
ACID is a proton (H+) donor (acid, conjugate base)

BASE is a proton (H+) acceptor (base, conjugate acid)

transfer of H+/H30+/proton

good definition for aqueous chemistry
Conjugate pair
acids and bases appear in conjugate pair, which differ by one H+

eg. H20 has 2 H+, OH- has 1 H+
Do equilibria favor weaker or stronger acids and bases?
Equilibria favor weaker acids and bases.
What K value drives a reaction forward?
A small K value.

Recall k=[products]/[reactants]
What is the strongest acid (solvent cation) that can exist in water?
H3O+
What is the strongest base (solvent anion) that can exist in water?
OH-
Name H3O+
hydronium ion
solvent cation
strongest acid in solution
solvent cation
strongest acids (HH4+)
solvent anion
strongest base (HH2-)
leveling effect
solvent levels the effect of a strong acid or base dissolved in it. the strength of acids or bases added to water are leveled to the strength of H30+ and OH-.
Strong acids correlate to
weak conjugate base
Strong bases correlate to
weak conjugate acid
Who's your favorite man?
Nanner.
Name oxyacids:

ate->
-ic acid

eg. nitrate -> nitric acid
Name oxyacids:

ite->
-ous acid

eg. nitrite -> nitrous acid
List the 6 strong acids
HCl
HNO3
H2SO4
HBr
HI
HClO4
Characteristic of strong acids
100% dissociation (completely dissociate into ions)
Strong bases
hydroxides (-OH) in Group I and II

eg. NaOH, KOH, Mg(OH)2
Common weak acid
NH3 (ammonia)
HClO4
perchloric acid
HClO3
chloric acid
HClO2
chlorous acid
HClO
hypochlorous acid
amphoteric/amphiprotic
a compound that can be an acid or a base (i.e. water)
autoionization
a process by which the solvent ionizes itself (i.e. water)

2 H20 (l) -><- H30+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
water's dissociation constant at 25 degrees C
1.0 X 10^-14
polyprotic acid
acids that can donate more than one proton (H+) per molecule

i.e. H2SO4
pKa
pKa=-log (Ka)
relationship btw pKa, Ka, and acid/base
lower pKa value, higher Ka value = strong acid/base
Low pKa = _____ acid, Ka will be ____
strong acid, high Ka
High pKb = ______ base, Kb will be ______
weak base, low Kb
Binary acid
H+ with one other element
eg. HI, HCl
Lewis definition of acid/base
Focuses on electron transfer

LEWIS ACID accepts electrons
LEWIS BASE donates electrons (
Conjugate base
acid in which a proton has been removed

* HCl (aq) + H2O (l) -> H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)

* (Acid) +(Base) -> (Conj Acid) + (Conj Base)
Conjugate acid
base in which a proton has been added
* HCl (aq) + H2O (l) -> H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)

* (Acid) +(Base) -> (Conj Acid) + (Conj Base)
