Study Notes
Acids and Bases Overview
- Acids and bases are fundamental concepts in chemistry
- Different definitions, properties, and applications of these compounds are explored
Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases
- Definition: Acids produce hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. Bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.
- Examples: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) releases H+ ions, while sodium hydroxide (NaOH) releases OH- ions.
Brønsted-Lowry Definition of Acids and Bases
- Proton Transfer: Acids are proton donors (H+), and bases are proton acceptors (H+).
- Examples: HCl donates a proton to water, forming H3O+, and ammonia (NH3) accepts a proton from water, forming NH4+ and OH-.
Conjugate Acids and Bases
- Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs: An acid and its conjugate base differ by a proton, and a base and its conjugate acid differ by a proton.
- Examples: HCl (acid) and Cl- (conjugate base) differ by a proton, and NH3 (base) and NH4+ (conjugate acid) differ by a proton.
Strong and Weak Acids and Bases
- Strong Acids: Ionize completely.
