Bronsted-Lowry Definitions

What is a strong base?

They dissociate to release the hydroxide ion, and a compound with the hydroxide as the anion.

What is a weak base?

Accepts a proton from water creating the hydroxide ion

What is a strong acid?

React with water to create the hydronium ion and are 100% complete at equilibrium

What is a weak acid?

React with water to donate a proton to create the hydronium ion

Acids are proton __, bases are proton __________

donors, acceptors

Amphiprotic species

Species that are either proton (H+) donors or proton acceptors

Amphoteric

A chemical species that behaves as both an acid and a base.

monoprotic species

Monoprotic acids are acids able to donate one proton per molecule during the process of dissociation

Monoprotic Bases are bases that can only react with one proton per molecule and similar to monoprotic acids, only have one equivalence point.

polyprotic species

Polyprotic acids are specific acids that are capable of losing more than a single proton per molecule in acid-base reactions.

Polyprotic bases are bases that can attach several protons per molecule. Similar to polyprotic acids, polyprotic bases can be categorized into diprotic bases and triprotic bases.

How do you know if products or reactants are favored?

if the acid is above the base on the table, then product formation is favored

OR

Look at which side has the stronger base and acid, it will push to the opposite side
