Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

What is a Bronsted-Lowry acid?

a species that donates a proton

What is a Bronsted-Lowry base?

a species that accepts a proton

What are conjugate acid-base pairs?

Contains 2 species that can be inter converted by transfer of a proton

What is the conjugate acid-base pairs for ethanoic acid?

H⁺(aq) and CH3COO-(aq)

What is the conjugate acid-base pairs for HCl?

What are the conjugate base pairs for HCl in aqueous solution?

What are monobasic acids?

acids that have 1 hydrogen ion that can be replaced per molecule in an acid-base reaction

one mole of the acid dissociates to form one mole of H+

E.g HCl, and CH3COOH

What are dibasic acids?

acids that have 2 hydrogen ions that can be replaced in an acid-base reactions

E.g H2CO3

What are tribasic acids?

acids that have 3 hydrogen molecules per molecule that can be replaced in an acid-base reaction

E.g H3BO3
