Acids and Bases
pH and crap
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acid | a species that is a proton donor |
| Base | a species that is a proton acceptor |
| Weak acid | a species that partially dissociates in water |
| Strong acid | a species that completely dissociates in water |
| pH | -log(H+) |
| Kw | [H+][OH-] |
| Ka | [H+]2/[HA] or [H+][A-]/[HA] |
| Alakli | soluble base that releases OH- ions |
| Acid-Base pair | pair of two species that transform into one another by gain or lose of a proton |
| buffer solution | a mixture that minimises pH changes on addition of small amounts of acid/base |
| equivalence point | point in a titration at which the volume of one solution has reacted exactly with the volume of another solution |
| End point | point in a titration where there are equal concentrations of the weak acid and conjugate base forms of the indicator |
| Standard enthaply change of neutralisation | energy change that accompanies the neutralisation of an aqueous acid to an aqueous base to form one mole of water under standard conditions |
| neutralisation | when an acid and base react together to produce a salt and water |
