Acid Base Chemistry
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Arrhenius Base | Hydroxide ion producer |
Arrhenius Acid | Hydrogen ion producer |
Lewis Acid | electron acceptor |
Lewis Base | electron donor |
Bronsted Lowery Acid | H+ donor |
Bronsted Lowery Base | H+ acceptor |
Strong acid or base | equilibrium lies far to the right (completely dissociates) |
Weak acid or base | equilibrium lies far to the left (mostly stays intact) |
pH of an acid | 0-6.9 |
pH of a base | 7.1-14 |
neutral pH | 7 |
carboxylic acids are typically (strong or weak) | weak |
H+ concentration of a strong acid | [H+]=[HA] |
increase of H+ causes pH to | decrease |
Ka of a strong acid is (large or small) | large |
Ka of a weak acid is (large or small) | small |
amphoteric | a substance that can be an acid or a base |
Kw | the dissociation constant for water |
value of Kw for pure water at 25oC | 1.0 x 10^-14 |
