Study Notes

Protogenic Solvents

These solvents are acidic
They readily donate protons (H+)
Examples include anhydrous acids like hydrogen fluoride (HF) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Protogenic solvents enhance the strength of weak bases by donating protons
Strongly protogenic solvents are "levelling" solvents. This means they cause all bases to act as if they have similar strength.

Amphiprotic Solvents

These solvents have both protogenic and protophilic properties. This means they can donate and accept protons
Examples include water (H2O), alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol), and weak organic acids
Amphiprotic solvents are slightly ionized
