compound consisting of an anion from an acid and a cation from a base

2
What is a buffer
solutions where pH remains relatively constant
New cards
3
What is buffer capacity
amount or acid or base that can be added to buffer solution before there is a huge change in pH
New cards
4
Arrhenius Acid
acids ionize to yield hydrogen ions in water
New cards
5
Arrhenius Base
acids ionize to yield hydroxide ions in water
New cards
6
Bronsted-Lowry Acid
Hydrogen Ion donor
New cards
7
Bronsted-Lowry Base
Hydrogen Ion accepter
New cards
8
Lewis Acid
Substance that can accept and electron pair to form a covalent bond
New cards
9
Lewis Base
Substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond
New cards
10
What is an indicator
a weak acid that undergoes dissociation
New cards
11
Indicator limits
temperature dependent, not useful in colored solutions, can be affected by dissolving salts, not an exact pH
New cards
12
Strong=
ionizes completely
New cards
13
Weak=
ionizes slightly
New cards
14
Strong Acids and Bases
dissociate completely
New cards
15
Weak Acids and Bases
the amount they dissociate is indicated by their dissociation constants
New cards
16
Properties of an Acid
sour taste, electrolytes when dissolved in water, indicator changes color, Reacts with many metals to produce H2 gas, Reacts with hydroxides to produce salt and water
New cards
17
Properties of a base
bitter taste, slippery feel, electrolytes when dissolved in water, causes indicator to change color, reacts with acids to form salt and water
New cards
18
Conjugate acids
Particles formed when a base gains a hydrogen ion
New cards
19
Conjugate base
Particles that remains after an acid has donated a hydrogen ion
New cards
20
Amphoteric substance
a substance that can act as an acid or a base
New cards
21
\[H+\] x \[OH-\]
KW
New cards
22
What is a pH meter
Instrument used to measure pH
New cards
23
Why is a pH meter better than an indicator
it gives accurate results that are not affected by color of solution
New cards
24
Ka
weak acids
New cards
25
Kb
weak bases
New cards
26
Ka=
\[H30+\]\[A-\]/\[HA\]
New cards
27
Kb=
\[BH+\]\[OH-\]/\[B\]
New cards
28
Equivalence point
Point where number of moles of H+ = number of moles of OH
New cards
29
\ Endpoint=
Point where indicator changes color \n indicating that neutralization (equivalence point \n has been reached) has occurred
New cards
30
Standard solution =
Solution of know concentration and volume
New cards
31
How to preform titration
get measured volume of acid or base solution of unknown molarity, add indicator and swirl flask, add acid or base until indicator barely changes color
