What does Avogadro’s number represent
The number of particles in a mole
Nitric acid
HNO3
Sulfuric acid
H2SO3
Hydrochloric acid
HCL
Ethanoic acid
CH3COOH
What do acids release when added to water
H+ ions
Definition of an acid (1)
A proton donor
Definition of an acid (2)
A substance with a pH of 1-6 that provides H+ ions
Common metal oxides
MgO, CuO
Common metal hydroxides
NaOH, Mg(OH)2, KOH
Common metal carbonates
CaCO3, CuCO3
Ammonia and amines
NH3, CH3NH2
Definition of a base (1)
A proton acceptor
Definition of a base (2)
Any substance with a pH of 8-14 that provides OH- ions
Alkali definition
Soluble bases
Sodium hydroxide (common alkali)
NaOH
Potassium hydroxide (common alkali)
KOH
Ammonia (common alkali)
NH3
What do alkalis release into a solution
OH- ions
Ionic equation for ammonia in water
NH3 + H20 ⇌ NH4+ +OH-
What is an amphoteric substance
A substance that can behave as both an acid and a base
How are amino acids amphoteric substances
They have a carboxyl group that is able to donate a proton and an amino group that is able to accept a proton
NH3-CH2-COOH
OH- + H+ =
H20
metal + acid =
salt + hydrogen
