Acids and Bases Flashcards
(28 cards)
properties of acids
taste sour
can be corrosive to flesh
change the color of indicators
produce hydrogen when they react w/ active metals
neutralizes bases
conduct electricity
Properties of bases
taste bitter
concentrated can burn flesh
change the color of indicators
feels slipery
neutralizes acids
conduct electricity
amphoteric
reacts with both an acid and a base
indicators
substances that changes color in the presence of an acid or a base
chart for naming acids
-ate. -ic
-ite -ous
-ide hydro -ic (add the word acid to the end)
naming oxyacids (what is it)
an acid that contains hydrogen and a polyatomic ion
how to name oxyacids
-Start with the root anion
-change -ate to -ic or -ite to -ous
-end with acid
Hydronium and hydroxide in water
-Conductivity experiments have shown that water is a very weak electrolyte, indicating the presence of ions (water is self-ionizing)
-since there are = numbers of hydronium and hydroxide, water is neutral
arrhenius acids and bases
arrheius knew that acids and bases were conductors, so he though it must be based on ions in sol.
arrhenius acid
a chemical compound that increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (h+) in an aqueous sol.
arrhenius base
a chemichal compound that provides hydroxide ions (OH-), in an aqueous sol.
Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases
-Danish chemist J.N. Bronstead and English chemist T.M. Lowry expanded their definition
bronstead lowry acid
is a molecule or ion that is a proton donor
bronstead lowry base
is a molecule or ion that is a proton acceptor
NH3 BL thing
NH3 and negative ions are B-L bases
Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases cont.
-The free protons are now attracted to the end of a water molecule
-making hydronium -H3O+
dissociation equation
-acid dissociated, meaning that the compound breaks into ions
-but when in water, the hydronium ion attaches to a water molecule making hydronium (H3O+)
ionization of bases
-Bronstead-lowry bases in water make hyrdoxide in solution
Conjugate acids and bases
a conjugate acid is what is left over after a base accepts its proton
1H
2H
3H
monoprotic
diprotic
triprotic
neutralizaiton
-double replacement
-the positive ion from the base and the negative ion from the acid form the salt acid + base -> water + salt
strong acids vs. weak acids (solution)
strong acids completely dissolve in solution
weak acids partially dissolve in solution
strong bases vs weak bases (solutions)
Strong bases completely dissociate in solution
Weak bases partially dissociate in solution
Strong acids vs. weak acids (conjugate)
Strong acids make weaker conjugate bases
Weak acids make stronger conjugate bases
