Question
Answer
Arrhenius acid   yields H3O+ when hadded to H2O  
🗑
Arrhenius base   yields OH- when added to H2O  
🗑
Bronsted-Lowry acid   Proton donor  
🗑
Bronsted-Lowry base   Proton acceptor  
🗑
Lewis acid   Electron pair acceptor  
🗑
Lewis base   Electron pair donor  
🗑
Amphoteric   Can act as either an acid or a base  
🗑
Hydronium concentration @ 25C   1x10-7M ph=7  
🗑
Ka   [H3O+][A-]/[HA]  
🗑
pKa   pKa -log(Ka)  
🗑
Ka from pKa   Ka = 10^-pKa  
🗑
Dissociation   acids dissociate in water  
🗑
Hydrolysis   bases under go hydrolysis in water  
🗑
Equation relating pKa(HA) and pKb(A-)   pKa(HA) + pKb(A-) = 14  
🗑
pKa and Ka as acid strength increases   pKa goes down, Ka goes up  
🗑
Strong acids   HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, HNO3, HClO4  
🗑
Strong bases   LiOH, KOH, NaOH, Ca(OH)2, KOCH3, NaNH2, Li(CH2)3CH3  
🗑
Weak acid   0 < pKa < 14  
🗑
Very weak acid   pKa > 14  
🗑
Kw   1x10^-14  
🗑
Haloacid trends   * As halogen size increases, acid strength increases * Within a period, acidity increases with increasing electronegativity of halogen  
🗑
Haloacid   Of the form HX  
🗑
Oxyacids   Hydrogen dissociates from oxygen  
🗑
Oxyacids trends   * More oxygens bonded to central atom means more acidic (most important trend) * If same number of O's, increasing electronegativty of central atom increases acidity  
🗑
For oxyacids, change in pKa with each additional O   pKa decreases by approximately 5 for every O gained  
🗑

🗑
log(a*b)   log(a) + log(b)  
🗑
log(a/b)   log(a) - log(b)  
🗑

🗑
relationship between Ka and Kb   Ka*Kb = 10^-14  
🗑
Formula for pH estimation   pH = (1/2)*pKa - (1/2)*log[HA]  
🗑
Formula for pOH estimation   pOH = (1/2)*pKb - (1/2)*log[A-]  
🗑
pH > pKa (protonated or deprotonated)   deprotonated  
🗑
pH < pKa (protonated or deprotonated)   protonated  
🗑
HH equation for buffers   pH = pKa + log([base]/[acid]) works for both concentrations and moles  
🗑
