Acids and bases

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Arrhenius acid   anything that produces hydrogen ions in aqueous soln  
🗑
Arrhenius base   anything that produces hydroxide ions in aqueous soln  
🗑
Bronsted and Lowry acids   anything that donates a proton  
🗑
Bronsted and Lowry base   anything that accepts a proton  
🗑
Lewis acid   anything that accepts a pair of e's  
🗑
Lewis base   anything that donates a pair of e's  
🗑
the stronger the acid, the _____ the conjugate base   weaker  
🗑
the stronger the base, the _____ the conjugate acid   stronger  
🗑
amphoteric   a substance that can act as either an acid or base  
🗑
strong acids   HI, HBr, HCl, HNO3, HClO4, HClO3, H2SO4  
🗑
strong bases   NaOH, KOH, NH2-, H-, Ca(OH)2, Na2O, CaO  
🗑
polyprotic acid   acids that can donate more than 1 proton  
🗑
diprotic acid   acids that can donate 2 protons, the second proton is usually so weak and often negligible  
🗑
acid dissociation____ with acid concentration, but acid strength ____ with an acid concentration   decreases, increases  
🗑
3 factors determining whether H containing molecule will release its H and act as an acid   (1) strength of bond holding H (2) polarity of the bond (3) stability of the conjugate base  
🗑
___ conjugate base stability will increase acidity   increasing  
🗑
___ polarity will increase acidity   decreasing  
🗑
___ bond strength will increase acidity   decreasing  
🗑
in a series of oxyacids, more oxygens means a __ acid   stronger (hypochlorous acid < chlorous acid < chloric acid < perchloric acid)  
🗑
hydride   cmpd with only 2 elements and 1 being hydrogen; can be acidic, basic, or neutral (where acidity increases down and to the right of the periodic table)  
🗑
metal hydrides are ____   basic or neutral  
🗑
nonmetal hydrides are ___   neutral or acidic  
🗑
acidity of nonmetal hydrides tends to ___ going down the table   increase (H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te  
🗑
autoionization of water   H2O + H2O --> H3O+ + OH-, equilibrium constant Kw  
🗑
Kw   [H+][OH-] = Ka*Kb = 10^-14  
🗑
pKw   =pH + pOH = 14  
🗑
acid dissociation constant   Ka, equilibrium constant for acid dissociating in water, = [H+][A-]/[HA]  
🗑
Kb   equilibrium constant for the reaction of the conjugate base with water, =[OH-][HA]/[A-]  
🗑
salts   ionic cmpd's that dissociate in water and often create acidic or basic conditions; pH of such son can be predicted qualitatively by comparing conjugates of the respective ions  
🗑
titration   drop-by-drop mixing of an acid and a base  
🗑
equivalence point   for a monoprotic acid, is the point in the titration when there are equal equivalents of acid and base in solution  
🗑
equivalence point for equally strong acid-base titrations   pH= 7  
🗑
half equivalence point   point where we could add the largest mat of acid or base w/ the least amt of change in pH (most well buffered); where there is 50% A- and 50%HA; point where half of the acid has been neutralized by the base  
🗑
Henderson-Hasselbach eqn   pH = pKa + log([A-]/HA]); when at the half equivalence point, the pH = pKa  
🗑
indicator   usually a weak acid whose conjugate base is a different color  
🗑
endpoint of indicator   point where the indicator changes color, but it is not the same as the equivalence point  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
