The Arrhenius definition of acids and bases:
|
An acid produces H+ ions in aqueous solution
A base produces OH- ions in aqueous solution |
|
In water, H+ ions always associate with H2O molecules to produce?
|
H3O+ ions, or hydronium ions
|
|
The Brønsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases
|
An acid is a proton (H+ ion) donor
HCl(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq) A base is a proton (H+ ion) acceptor |
|
amphoteric
|
A substance that can act as an acid or a base
|
|
Conjugate Acid-Base
|
Slide 10
|
|
Acid–base reactions generally form?
|
water and a salt—an ionic compound—that usually remains dissolved in the solution
|
|
gas evolution reaction
|
The reaction of carbonates or bicarbonates (compounds containing CO32− or HCO3− ) with acids produces water, gaseous carbon dioxide, and a salt
|
|
titration
|
a substance in a solution of known concentration is reacted with another substance in a solution of unknown concentration
|
|
equivalence point
|
the number of moles of OH- added equals the number of moles of H+ in the original solution
|
|
Strong acids
|
completely ionize in solution
A strong acid is a strong electrolyte |
|
List of Strong Acids:
|
HCl
HBr HI HNO3 HClO4 H2SO4 |
|
monoprotic acid
diprotic acid polyprotic acid |
A monoprotic acid contains only one ionizable proton
A diprotic acid contains two ionizable protons A polyprotic acid contains multiple ionizable protons Polyprotic acids ionize in multiple steps |
|
Weak Acids
|
only partially ionize in solution
weak electrolytes |
|
Strong Base
|
one that completely dissociates in solution
|
|
List of Strong Bases
|
LiOH
NaOH KOH Sr(OH)2 Ca(OH)2 Ba(OH)2 |
|
The ion product constant for water
|
Kw= [H3O+] × [OH−] = (1.0 × 10-7)(1.0 × 10-7) = 1.0 × 10-14
|
|
pH scale
|
pH < 7 Acidic solution
pH = 7 Neutral solution pH > 7 Basic solution |
|
pH?
pOH? |
pH = -log [H3O+]
pOH = -log [OH-] |
|
Buffer
|
a solution that resists pH change by neutralizing added acid or added base
contain significant amounts of a weak acid and its conjugate base |
|
Acid Rain
|
the result of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides emitted by fossil fuel combustion
These oxides react with water to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which fall as acid rain |
