Acid and Bases Flashcards

Flashcards reviewing key vocabulary and concepts related to acids and bases, including Bronsted-Lowry definitions, pH, pOH, and related calculations.

Bronsted-Lowry Model

States that acids donate a H+ ion to the base and the base accepts the H+ ion.

Conjugates

Formed when Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases react.

Conjugate Acid

Formed from a Bronsted-Lowry base.

Conjugate Base

Formed from a Bronsted-Lowry acid.

pH

A measure of hydronium (H3O+) ion concentration in an aqueous solution.

Acids

Ranges from 0-7 on the pH scale.

Bases

Ranges from 7-14 on the pH scale.

Neutral Solution

Has a pH of 7.

Acids

Turns blue litmus paper red.

Bases

Turns red litmus paper blue.

Kw

The equilibrium constant representing the concentration of an aqueous solution with equal amounts of hydronium and hydroxide ions.

pH

Represents the potential of hydrogen ions (H+) or hydronium ions (H3O+).

pOH

Represents the potential of hydroxide ions (OH-).
