Honors - Unit 8 - Acids & Bases Flashcards
(20 cards)
Strong Acid
Completely dissociates.

Weak Acid
Weak acids are not fully ionized or dissociated.

Properties of Acids

Sour
Properties of Bases

Bitter and slippery
Acids
Electron acceptors.
Yeild H+ Ions in solution.
H+ donor.
Bases
Electron donator.
Yeilds OH- in solution.
H+ Ion acceptor.
Hydronium Ion
[H+]
Hydroxide Ion
[OH-]
NEUTRALIZATION REACTION

When an acid and base react in solution to form salt and water.
Products of an acid/base reaction
Salt + Water
Amphoteric

Acid or Base
pH, pOH, [H+], [OH-] Calculation Road Map

pH Scale
pH = (-) log [H+]
pOH = - log [OH-]
pH + pOH = 14
[H+] = 2nd Log (-) pH
[OH-] = 2nd Log (-) pOH
[H+] [OH-] = 1E-14

If the [H+] =1E-5 in a Coca-Cola what is the concentration of [OH-]? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
[H+] [OH-] = 1E-14
[OH-] = (1E-14) / ([H+])
[OH-] = (1E-14) / (1E-5)
[OH-] = 1E-9
The solution is acidic because 1E-5 is less than 1E-7.
Determine the conjugate acid/base pairs.
NH3 + H2O —> NH4+ + OH-

How would you calculate the pH of a solution with a hydronium concentration of 1E-5 M?
pH = -log 1E-5 =5
Calculate the pH of a solution with a Hydronium ion concentration of 1.3E-9 M
pH= -log(1.3E-9) =8.89
Dilute
relatively small concentration of solute

Concentrated
relatively large concentration of solute
Concentration
amount of solute per solvent
(Molarity & molality)
