Acid and bases basics

Acid

substance that donates a protien (H+)

Base

substance that accepts a protien (H+)

conjugate base

acid, removes an H+

conj Acid

Base, add H+

strong acid

completely donates protons ion water

7 strong acids

HCL

HBr

HI

HNO3

HClO3

HClO4

H2SO4

Common strong base

OH-

common strong acid

H+

Neutral

H3O+= OH-

Acidic

H3O>OH-

PH<7

Basic

H3O<OH-

PH>7

Kb

OH- (weak base)

Ka

H3O and H (weak acid)

Weak acid and Weak base

Use equilibrium constants to describe their dissociation in water.

strong acid and bases

completely dissociate in water so no need for eq and if given M thats the concentration used to find pH.

conjugate base

same as Acid (removes an H+)

Conjugate acid

same as base (adds an H+)

cation

Acidic if:

conjugate of a weak base

(+3) or more charge

anion

Basic if:

conjugate of a weak acid

(-3) or more charge.

if is a conjugate of an strong acid, its too weak to act as base
