9 Flashcards
substance that produces H3O+ ions in aqueous solution
acid
substance that produces OH2 ions in aqueous solution
a base
H1 ion in water immediately combines with an H2O molecule to give a
hydronium ion
produces hydrogen ions, H+
acid
A base that ionizes completely in aqueous solution
Strong base
An acid that ionizes completely in aqueous solution
Strong acid
An acid that is only partially ionized in aqueous solution
Weak acid
Strong Acids
HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4
four common strong bases
LiOH, NaOH, KOH, Ba(OH)2
the acid in the gastric fluid in your stomach
HCl
also called lye
NaOH
one of the most widely produced single chemicals in the United States.
sulfuric acid
an important acid in chemistry laboratories
Hydrochloric acid
Pure acetic acid is called
glacial acetic acid
causes the skin to turn yellow because the acid reacts with skin proteins
Nitric acid
Pure acetic acid melting point
17°C
were once used as antiseptics, especially for eyes
Boric acid
An acid that can give up two protons
Diprotic acid
In the Brønsted Lowry theory, a substance formed when an acid donates a proton to another molecule or ion
Conjugate base
one of the strongest of the weak acids
Phosphoric acid
he most important weak base, is a
gas with many industrial uses
Ammonia
used in many industrial processes, including the manufacture of glass and soap
Sodium hydroxide
weaker solutions are used as “spirits of ammonia” to revive people who have fainted
Ammonia
An acid that can give up only one proton
Monoprotic acid
called milk of magnesia and is used as a laxative
Magnesium hydroxide
A pair of molecules or ions that are related to one another by the gain or loss of a proton
Conjugate acid–base pair
A base that is only partially ionized in aqueous solution
Weak base
Acids react with metal hydroxides to give
salt and water
In the Brønsted Lowry theory, a substance formed
when a base accepts a proton
Conjugate acid
the outermost part of the eye
cornea
pH of urine can vary from
5.5 to 7.5
An acid that can give up three protons
Triprotic acid
the equilibrium position always favors reaction of the
stronger acid and stronger base to form the weaker acid and weaker base
burns by bases can later develop
ulcerations in which the healing wound deposits scar tissue that is not transparent
the cornea is a tissue with no blood vessels and, therefore
can be transplanted without immunological rejection
problems
A substance that can act as either an acid or a base
Amphiprotic
type can also cause severe damage
bases
An equilibrium constant for the ionization of an acid in aqueous solution to H3O1 and its conjugate base; also called an acid dissociation constant
Acid ionization constant (Ka)
Strong acids react with certain metals (called active metals) to produce
hydrogen gas, H2, and a salt
most important reaction of acids and bases
neutralization
pH is less than 7.0
acidic
reaction of an acid with an active metal to give a salt and hydrogen gas is a
redox reaction
