Flashcards

Brønsted theory

Acids are proton donors, and bases are proton acceptors.

Kw

The ion-product constant for water, representing the equilibrium between H3O+ and OH- in water.

Formula for pH Calculation

pH = -log[H3O+], where [H3O+] is the concentration of hydronium ions.

Strong acids/bases

Acids/bases that completely dissociate in water, making pH calculations straightforward.

Weak acid/base

Acids/bases that only partially dissociate in water, requiring use of equilibrium expressions (Ka/Kb) to calculate pH.

Salts

Ions formed from the reaction of an acid and a base that can affect the pH of a solution through hydrolysis.

Study Notes

  • Quiz 5 on Chapter 17 will have 6 questions and you will have 60 minutes to complete it.

Brønsted Theory

  • Understand the concepts of Brønsted theory.

Kw and Ion-Product Constant for Water

  • Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10^-14 at 25°C, which is the ion-product constant for water.

pH Calculations

  • Be able to perform pH calculations in solutions of:
    • Strong acids/bases
    • Weak acids/bases
    • Salts
    • Diprotic acids

Study Tip

  • Practice problems are recommended as a good way to study.
