Unit 9 - Acids & Bases Flashcards
(21 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.
NEUTRALIZATION REACTION

When an acid and base react in solution to form salt and water.
Titration

The process of adding a known amount of solution of known concentration to determine the concentration of another solution.
Products of an acid/base reaction
Salt + Water
STANDARD SOLUTION

Solution of known concentration
END POINT

When the indicator changes color.
Titration Curve

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-

Hydronium Ion
[H+]
Hydroxide Ion
[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
