THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS Flashcards
(50 cards)
produced in the reaction of an
acid with a base
Salt
form ions when dissolved in
water and thus produce solutions that
conduct electricity
Electolytes
ionize essentially
completely
Strong electrolytes
ionize only partially
Weak Electrolytes
proposed independently a
theory of acid/base behavior that is
particularly useful in analytical chemistry.
J. N. Brønsted (Denmark) & J. M. Lowry
(England)
Proton theory of acid and base
Brønsted-Lowry Theory
a substance that donates
protons
Acid
a substance that accepts
protons
Base
The species forms
when an acid loses a proton
Conjugate Base
The species formed
when a base accepts a proton.
Conjugate Acid
completely
dissociated into HSO4
– and H3O+ ions and
for this reason is classified as a strong
analyte
Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄)
conjugate base of the acid
HNO2
Nitrite ion
conjugated acid of
water is hydrated proton written as H3O+
Hydronium ion
Strong Classification of Electrolytes
- Most Salts
- Alkali and alkalineearth hydroxide
Weak Classification of Electrolytes
- Most organic acids
- most organic gases and ammonia
when an acid and a
base react to form water and a salt and
involves the combination of H+ ions and
OH- ions to generate water.
Neutralization reaction: ( acid1 + base2 ⇌
base1 + acid2 )
an ion that bears both a
positive and a negative charge.
Zwitterion
can act as either an acid or as a
base
Water
behave as acids in
the presence of basic solutes and bases
in the presence of acidic solutes.
Amphiprotic solvents
– involves
the spontaneous reaction of molecules of
a substance to give a pair of ions
Autoprotolysis (autoionization)
are those who reacts with
water completel
Strong acids
those who do not
completely react with water.
Weak acids
the ratio
of concentrations of reactants and
products is constant
Chemical Equilibrium
a system at equilibrium that represents a dynamic state in which two opposing processes are taking
place at the same time and at the same rate
