New cards

The species remaining after a Brønsted-Lowry acid donates a proton is its _.

conjugate base

2
New cards

The species formed when a Brønsted-Lowry base accepts a proton is its _.

conjugate acid

3
New cards

A species that can react as either an acid or a base is described as _.

amphoteric

4
New cards

A covalently bonded -OH group in an acid is called a _ group.

Hydroxyl

5
New cards

Brønsted-Lowry reactions involve _ acid-base pairs.

conjugate

6
New cards

In every conjugate acid-base pair, the acid has one _ proton than its conjugate base.

more

7
New cards

Strong acids readily donate protons, resulting in very _ conjugate bases.

weak

8
New cards

Strong bases have little tendency to attack and retain protons, resulting in very _ conjugate acids.

weak

9
New cards

The stronger an acid is, the the conjugate base, and the stronger the base, the _ the conjugate acid.

weaker; weaker

10
New cards

Proton-transfer reactions favor the production of the _ acid and the _ base.

weaker; weaker

11
New cards

For a compound to be acidic, a _ molecule must be able to attract a hydrogen atom from a hydroxyl group.

water

12
New cards

Any feature of a molecule that increases the polarity of the O-H bond _ the acidity of the compound.

increases

13
New cards

Oxyacids are molecular _ that contain one or more O-H bonds.

electrolytes

14
New cards

More _ atoms bonded to the atom connected to the -OH group increase acidity.

oxygen

15
New cards

Neutralization reactions produce _ and a salt.

water

16
New cards

In aqueous solutions, neutralization is the reaction of _ ions and _ ions to form water molecules.

hydronium; hydroxide

17
New cards

A salt is an ionic compound composed of a _ from a base and an _ from an acid.

cation; anion

18
New cards

Industrial processes produce gases like NO, NO2, CO2, SO2, and SO3, which can dissolve in atmospheric water to produce _.

acid rain

19
New cards

Acid rain can decrease the _ of ecosystems by eliminating fish populations in lakes and streams.

biodiversity
