Conductivity

• Str. Acid

• Str. base

• Salt

Full dissoc

High(ions)

Good conductors

Strong acid

fully dissociates in H20 > full arrow (not equi)

Acids

Proton donor

(increases (H30+) in water)

Conductivity

• wk acid

• wk base

Portial dissoc

Low (ions)

Poor Conductors

Proton

Conductivity depends on

(ions)

pH

• Str base

Full dissoc

High (OH-)

Low(H30+)

High pH

Amphiprotic

a species that can donate or accept a proton

eg. H20, HCO3-

Weak(acid)

Bases

Proton acceptor

(increases (OH-) in water)

pH

Str acid

• Full dissoc

• High(H3O+)

• Low pH

R.O.R

wk acid

• Full dissoc

• High(H3O)

• Lots of particles/mL

• Lots of collisons/s

• Fast R.O.R

R.O.R

wk acid

• Partial dissoc

• Low(H3O+)

• Fewer particles/mL

• Fewer collisons/s

• Slower ROR

pH

wk acid

• Partial dissoc

• Lower(H3O+)

• Higher pH

Conjugate acid/base pairs

Species that differ by 1 x H+

Do we need to include water in the equation

Not if its a salt nor a strong base
