A compound that donates a proton to another compound.

What types of compounds are acids? (Select all that apply)

  • Molecules (correct)
  • Ionic compounds that contain - OH
  • Anions that contain H (correct)
  • Metals
  • Cations that contain H (correct)
  • What is a conjugate acid-base pair?

    <p>A pair of molecules or ions that differ by a single proton. The acid is the molecule or ion that donates a proton, and the base is the molecule or ion that accepts the proton.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the significance of the term "conjugate" in the context of acid-base theory?

    <p>It emphasizes that the acid and base in a pair are related by the transfer of a single proton. The conjugate base is formed when the acid loses a proton, and the conjugate acid is formed when the base gains a proton.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the ion product constant for water, K_W?

    <p>The equilibrium constant for the autoionization of water, which is the product of the hydronium ion concentration and the hydroxide ion concentration.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Why is H₂O not included in the expression for K_W?

    <p>Because the concentration of water remains essentially constant in dilute aqueous solutions, it does not significantly change during autoionization, and therefore it is not included in the equilibrium constant expression.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    How are the concentrations of H₃O⁺ and OH⁻ related to each other?

    <p>They are inversely proportional to each other. As the concentration of one increases, the concentration of the other decreases.</p> Signup and view all the answers
