Front (Question)

What are the three different definitions that differentiate acid and base?

Back (Answer)

• Arrhenius definition Acid gives hydrogen positive ions and base gives hydroxide ions when they dissolve into solution. • Bronsted-Lowry definition Acid is a proton donor, and base is a proton acceptor. • Lewis definition Acid is electron acceptor and base is electron donor.

Front (Question)

what is an arhenius base and acid

Back (Answer)

arhenius acid releases H+ ions in solution arhenius base give OH- ions in solution

Front (Question)

what is a bronsted lowry acid and base

Back (Answer)

bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor bronsted lowry base is a proton acceptor

Front (Question)

lewis acid and base

Back (Answer)

lewis acid is electron pair acceptor , i.e electrophile lewis base is electron pair donor, i.e nucleophile

Front (Question)

Strong acids

Back (Answer)

HCL HBR HI H2SO4 HNO3 HCLO4 HCLO3 fully dissociate into ions , TRAP; HF not strong strong electrolytes , better electricity conduction

Front (Question)

Strong base

Back (Answer)

Group 1 hydroxides naoh , koh , csoh Calcium hydroxide Strontium hydroxide Barium hydroxide

non metallic oxide

Back (Answer)

acidic oxides ; when reacts with H2o forms acid • SO3 • P4O10 • CL2O

#18

Front (Question)

Carboxyllic acid -cooh

Back (Answer)

Back (Answer)

WEAK BASE -ch3nh2 -nh3

#21

Front (Question)

True or false: The values of Kw and pKw can be altered by changing the concentration of hydronium ions

Back (Answer)

False: Kw and pKw are equilibrium constants and they can only be altered by changing the temperature.

#22

Front (Question)

kW is equal to _____ at standard temperature 25 degrees.

Back (Answer)

10 to the power of negative 14.

#23

Front (Question)

effect of temp on kw

Back (Answer)

• as T inc kw increases and reaction shifts to the right > more ions • as T decreases kw decreases and reaction shifts to the left shows the endothermic nature of water autoionisation process

#24

Back (Answer)

• At least one hydrogen atom • At least one oxygen atom • At least one other atom • At least one oxygen atom must be bonded to a hydrogen atom
