Term
Arrhenius concept of Acid and bases
Definition
Acids are substances that, when desolved in water increase the concentration of H+ ions. Likewise bases are subsances that, when desolved in water, increase the concentration of OH- ions.
Term
Bronsted Lowery concept of Acid and Base
Definition
An acid is a substance (molecule or ion) that can donate a proton to another substance. Likewise a base is a substance that can accept a proton.
Term
Lewis concept of acid and bases
Definition
A lewis acid is a electron pair acceptor and a lewis base is a electron pair doner.
Term
Lewis concept of acid and bases
Definition
A lewis acid is a electron pair acceptor and a lewis base is a electron pair doner.
Term
H+ ion
Definition
Is simply a proton with no surrounding valence electrons.
Term
Amphiprotic
Definition
A substance that can act as either an acid or a base in a reaction. It acts as a base with something more acidic than itself and as a acid with something more basic than itself. It all depends on the pH level.
Term
Does the Bronsted Lowery definitions apply to non aqueous solutions?
Definition
Yes
Term
To be a B-L Base
Definition
a molecule or ion must have a nonbonded pair or electrons that it can use to bind the H+ ion
Term
TO be a B-L acid
Definition
a molecule or ion must have a hydrogen atom it can lose as an H+ ion.
Term
A stong acid
Definition
Dissociates completely in H2O, hence there is a single arrow --> not equilibrium <->
Term
Strong acids
Definition
These completely transfer their protons to water leaving no undissociated molecules in the solution. Their conjugate bases have a negligible tendency to be protonated (to abstract protons) in aqueous solution
Term
Weak acids
Definition
These only partially dissociate in aqueous hence they exist in a solution as a mixture of acid ions and constituent ions. The conjugate bases of weak acids show a slight ability to remove protons from water.
Term
The conjugate acids of weak bases
Definition
are weak acids
Term
Negligible acidity
Definition
Are those that contain hydrgen but do not demonstrate any acidic behavior in water. Hence their conjugate acids are strong bases.
Term
In every acid/ base reation the position of the equilibrium favors
Definition
the transfer of the proton to the stronger base
Term
Ion product constant for water
Definition
1.0 x 10^-14
Term
pH=
Definition
-log[H+]
Term
Acid [H+] >
Base [OH+] >

Hence the pH decreases as
Definition
Acid [H+] > 1.0x10^-7
Base [H+] < 1.0x10^-7

as the [H+] increases
Term
(1.0x10^-14)=
Definition
[H+][OH-]
Term
According to pH and Acid is
Definition
[H+](M) [OH-](M) pH value
>1.0x10^-7 <1.0x10^-7 <7.00
Term
According to pH an Acid is
Definition
[H+](M)>1.0x10^-7 [OH-](M)<1.0x10^-7 pH value <7.00
Term
According to pH a Neutral is
Definition
[H+](M)=1.0x10^-7 [OH-](M)=1.0x10^-7 pH value =7.00
Term
According to pH a Base is
Definition
[H+](M)<1.0x10^-7 [OH-](M)>1.0x10^-7 pH value >7.00
