Acids & Bases Test

Properties of acids and bases

Formulas of acids and bases

Arrhenius and Brønsted-Lowry acid/base definitions

Conjugate acid and conjugate base

MEMORIZE THE STRONG ACIDS (HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4)

Strong acid versus weak acid

Strong base versus weak base

MEMORIZE THE STRONG BASES (group 1 and 2 hydroxides except LiOH and Mg(OH)2)

Autoionization of water (Kw)

pH scale

pH, pOH, [H+]/[H3O+], [OH-]

Acid ionization constant, Ka

Base ionization constant, Kb

Calculating pH of a strong acid, strong base

Calculating pH of a weak acid, weak base (using Ka and Kb)

Calculating Ka from pH of a weak acid

Calculating Kb from pH of a weak base

pKa, pKb

Percent ionization

Acid-base properties of salts and ions (know which ions make salts acidic, basic, or neutral)

pH of salts

Common-ion effect (calculating pH when there’s a common ion in solution present)

CHAPTER 16- Solution Equilibria

Buffers

Buffer capacity

Calculating pH of a buffer

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation (pH = pKa + log [base]/[acid] or pOH = pKb + log [acid]/[base]

Titrations

● Strong acid/strong base titration

● Weak acid/strong base titration

● Weak base/strong acid titration

Calculating pH at the following:

● initial (before addition or acid or base)

● before equivalence point

● at half-way equivalence point

● at equivalence point

● after equivalence point

Titration curves and identifying pH/equivalence point/halfway point
