Study Notes
Conjugate Bases of Strong Acids
- Strong acids completely ionize in solution, meaning they donate their hydrogen ions (H+) readily.
- The conjugate base of a strong acid is extremely weak and does not readily accept a proton (H+).
Weak Acids
- A weak acid only partially ionizes in solution, meaning it does not donate all of its hydrogen ions (H+) readily.
- Examples of weak acids include:
- Acetic acid (CH3COOH)
- Carbonic acid (H2CO3)
Acid-Base Reactions
- The process by which an acid donates a hydrogen ion (H+) to a base is called proton transfer.
- In this process, the acid acts as a proton donor and the base acts as a proton acceptor.
Strong Bases
- Strong bases completely dissociate in solution to form hydroxide ions (OH−).
- Examples of strong bases include:
- Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
- Potassium hydroxide (KOH)
Amphoteric Substances
- An amphoteric substance can act as either an acid or a base, depending on the reaction conditions.
- Examples of amphoteric substances include:
- Water (H2O)
- Bicarbonate ion (HCO3-)
