Study Notes
Acids and Bases
Definition of Acids and Bases
- Acids: Substances that donate a proton (H+ ion) in a solution, increasing the concentration of H+ ions.
- Bases: Substances that accept a proton (H+ ion) in a solution, decreasing the concentration of H+ ions.
Arrhenius Theory
- Acids: substances that dissociate in water to produce H+ ions (e.g., HCl, H2SO4)
- Bases: substances that dissociate in water to produce OH- ions (e.g., NaOH, KOH)
Bronsted-Lowry Theory
- Acids: substances that can donate a proton (H+ ion)
- Bases: substances that can accept a proton (H+ ion)
- Conjugate acid: the species that remains after an acid has donated a proton
- Conjugate base: the species that forms after a base has accepted a proton
pH and pOH
- pH: the negative logarithm of the H+ ion concentration (pH = -log[H+])
- pOH: the negative logarithm of the OH- ion concentration (pOH = -log[OH-])
- pH + pOH = 14 (at 25°C)
Strong and Weak Acids and Bases
- Strong acids: completely dissociate in water, releasing all H+ ions (e.g., HCl, H2SO4)
- Weak acids: partially dissociate in water, releasing some H+ ions (e.g., CH3COOH, HCN)
- Strong bases: completely dissociate in water, releasing all OH- ions (e.g., NaOH, KOH)
- Weak bases: partially dissociate in water, releasing some OH- ions (e.g., NH3, CO3^2-)
Acid-Base Reactions
- Neutralization: reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt and water
- Acid-base equilibrium: equilibrium between an acid and its conjugate base, or a base and its conjugate acid
