Acids and Bases
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Molarity | a measure of solution concentration (how much substance mixed in H2O) |
M= | M= mol/L (moles of solute / liters of solution) |
The bigger the number in front of M... | The more concentrated the solution is |
Concentrated | high molarity or large number of solute particles (less solvent) |
Dilute | low molarity or small number of solute particles (more solvent) |
Dilution equation | M1V1 = M2V2 |
Properties of acids: | -sour or tart -conduct electricity in solutions -react with metals to produce hydrogen gas |
Properties of bases: | -taste bitter and feel slippery -conduct electricity in solutions -react with fats, oils, and waxes |
Acidic solutions contain: | more H+ than OH- |
Basic solutions contain: | more OH- than H+ |
-IDE | hydro____ic acid |
-ATE | ____ic acid (no "hydro") |
-ITE | ____ous acid (no "hydro") |
Acids are | hydrogen ion donors |
Bases are | hydrogen ion accepters |
Conjugate acid: | an acid that forms when a base gains an H+ |
Conjugate base: | a base that forms when an acid loses an H+ |
Strong acid: | an acid that ionizes completely in a solvent (like H2O) |
Examples of strong acids: | HCL, H2SO4, HNO3, HCLO4, HI |
Weak acid: | an acid that does not completely ionize in H2O |
Examples of weak acids: | the ones that aren't listed as "Strong" |
Strong base: | a base that completely ionizes in H2O |
Weak base: | a base that does not completely ionize in H2O |
Strong electrolytes | STRONG BASES and STRONG ACIDS that conduct electricity |
Weak electrolytes | WEAK ACIDS and WEAK BASES that conduct electricity |
Concentration deals with _______; strength deals with _______ | Molarity; ionization |
The terms "Weak" and "Strong" are used to: | compare strengths of acids and bases |
The terms "Dilute" and "Concentrated" are used to: | describe the concentration of solutions |
What is the difference between strong and concentrated solutions? Dilute and weak? | |
OH- and H+ are | inversely related (when one goes up, the other goes down) |
Acidic pH | lower than 7 |
Basic pH | greater than 7 |
Acid Base Titrations | the general process of determining molarity of an acid/base through the use of an acid-base reaction |
Acid Base Titrations Equation | MAVA = MBVB |
Equivalence point | when the amount of H ions are equal to the amount of OH- ions |
End point | the point in titration when color change happens |
