Acids and Bases Lecture Notes

Vocabulary flashcards for acids and bases concepts covered in the lecture.

Binary Acid

An acid with two elements; add hydro- to the root of the second element and end with -ic acid.

Oxyacids

Acids that start with H and have three elements, including oxygen.

Acid Naming Rule for -ate ions

Stem + ic (when the common ion ends in -ate)

Acid Naming Rule for -ite ions

Stem + ous (when the common ion ends in -ite)

Acids

Taste sour.

Bases

Taste bitter and feel slippery.

Neutralization Reaction

Acid + Base -> Salt + Water

Arrhenius Acid

Higher concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+).

Arrhenius Base

Higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-).

Arrhenius Acid (Definition)

Increases the H+ ion concentration in solution.

Arrhenius Base (Definition)

Increases the OH- ion concentration in solution.

Bronsted-Lowry Model

Acids donate protons (H+) to Bases.

Bronsted-Lowry Acid

Donates a proton (H+).

Bronsted-Lowry Base

Accepts a proton (H+).

Conjugate Acid-Base Pair

Formed when BL acids and bases react.

Lewis Acid

An ion or molecule with a vacant electron pair; the electron acceptor.

Lewis Base

The electron donor.

Arrhenius Acid

H+ producer

Arrhenius Base

OH producer

Bronsted-Lowry Acid

H+ donor

Bronsted-Lowry Base

H+ acceptor

Lewis Acid

electron-pair acceptor

Lewis Base

electron-pair donor
