Question
Answer
Brønstedt-Lowry acids and bases   Arrhenius defined, that acid-base neutralizations are reactions in which an acid and a base combine forming water and a salt.views acid-base reactions as proton transfers. An acid is a proton donor. A base is a proton acceptor.  
🗑
conjugate acid-base pair   Two substances that differ from each other by only one proton  
🗑
Amphoteric substances   substances (molecules, ions) that can react as either acids or bases  
🗑
define strength of an acid   its ability to donate a proton to a base. We measure the strength by determining the progress of this reaction towards completion. A reference base is needed to compare different acids, water is the reference of choice.  
🗑
define a strong acid   one that is completely converted to a new acid, the hydronium ion. Accordingly, H3O+ is the strongest acid in water.  
🗑
define a weak acid   one that produces two acidic species.  
🗑
When two amphoteric substances are mixed...?   the stronger acid will react as an acid, the stronger base as a base.  
🗑
Binary acids   acids that consist of hydrogen and a nonmetal.The strength of the binary acids increase from the left to the right within a period. The strength of the binary acids increase from the top to the bottom within a group.  
🗑
oxoacids   Acids composed of hydrogen, oxygen and some other element. All structures of oxoacids have O-H groups, which donate the protons. The acidity of the protons is determined by the polarity of the O–H bond.  
🗑
how does electronegativity of the central atom affect the acidity of an oxoacid?   As the electronegativity of the central atom increases, the acid becomes stronger.  
🗑
Lewis acid   any ionic or molecular species that can accept a pair of electrons in the formation of a coordinate covalent bond. have valence orbitals, that are not completely filled such as BF3 or H+.  
🗑
Lewis base   any ionic or molecular species that can donate a pair of electrons in the formation of a coordinate covalent bond. have completely filled valence orbitals and unshared pairs of electrons  
🗑
acidic anhydrides   Nonmetal oxides that react with water and give acidic solutions.  
🗑
how does the oxidation number of a metal influence acid-base properties?   As the oxidation number on a metal ion increases, the metal ion becomes more acidic, it becomes a better electron pair acceptor. Examples: Na2O CaO Al2O3 CrO3  
🗑
define Acidic and basic solutions in terms of relative concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions.   Neutral solution: [ H3O+ ] = [ OH- ] Acidic solution: [ H3O+ ] > [ OH- ] Basic solution: [ H3O+ ] < [ OH- ]  
🗑
pH basic formulas   pH = -log [ H+ ] [ H+ ] = 10^-pH Ion product constant KW = [ H+ ] [ OH- ] at 25 °C pKW = pH + pOH = 14 at 25 °C  
🗑
Contributors to the proton concentration in an acid (formula)   [ H+ ]total = [ H+ ]solute + [ H+ ]water  
🗑
