Acid/Base Flashcards
(18 cards)
Bronsted-lowry definition for acids?
Proton donors
Excess acid/base?
Find moles, the one with the larger number will be in excess, subtract moles
Bronsted-lowry definition for bases?
Proton acceptors
Amphiprotic species?
Hydrogenated polyatomic ions, can be both an acid/base
Conjugate acid/base pairs always differ by….?
1 hydrogen ion
Adding acid increases ……… shifting rxn …… Which causes indicator to produce ….
Conc. of hydronium
Away
Acid color
Adding base increases…….shifting rxn……causing the indicator to produce…….
Conc. of hydroxide
Towards
Basic color
What determins the position of the equilibrium?
A competition of protons that result in a proton transfer from SA to SB
General arrow rules:
A) SA w SB
B) acid above base
C) acid below base
A) quantitative (>99%)
B) >50%
C) <50%
Predicting rxns
- aq ionic compounds/SB
- SA
- WA/WB
- metals
- seperate into ions
- produce H3O+ & a negative ion
- written as molecule
- spectator
Monoprotic acids/bases
Can donate/recieve 1 proton
Polyprotic acids/bases
Can donate/recieve more than 1 proton
Do all steps if it says quantitative
Equivalence pt if graphing SA & SB
7
Endpoint?
Drop in pH
SA/SB-steep slope
WA/WB-shallow slope
Equivalence point
Chemically equal amounts of acid/base, distinct point
Buffering region
First horizontal portion, small change in pH # of buffering regions = # of endpoints
If graphing weaker species?
Equivalence pt is pulled in direction of stronger species
Buffers?
Weak acid/base conjugate pairs
Added to maintain a constant pH
