STAAR Ladder to Success Rung 10
Arrhenius Definition Savante Arrhenius, Swedish chemist who by 1890 formulated the first useful theory for acids. • Acidscontain hydrogen ions • Basescontain hydroxide ions (OH-)
Bronsted-Lowry Definition • Acidsare proton (H+) donors. • Bases are proton (H+) acceptors. • Conjugate acid-base pairs are formed.
conjugate base conjugate acid Bronsted-Lowry Definition Pairs identifies the particles formed when H+ ions are donated and accepted when an acid or a base is dissolved in water. Base gains H+ conjugate acid formed Particle that remains conjugate base HCl + H2O Cl– + H3O+ acid base
pH = -log[H3O+] pOH = -log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14
- + Strength • Strong Acid/Base • 100% ionized in water • many ions produced • strong electrolyte HCl HNO3 H2SO4 HBr HI HClO4 NaOH KOH Ca(OH)2 Ba(OH)2
- + Strength • Weak Acid/Base • does not ionize completely • few ions produced • weak electrolyte HF CH3COOH H3PO4 H2CO3 HCN NH3
Neutralization • Chemical reaction between an acid and a base. • Products are a salt (ionic compound) and water. ACID + BASE SALT + WATER HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O • Salts can be neutral, acidic, or basic. • Neutralization does not mean pH = 7.
Single Replacement A + BC B + AC • Whether one metal will replace another metal from a compound is determined by the reactivities of the two metals. • To help us determine this, an activity series of metals arranges metals in order of decreasing reactivity. • A reactive metal will replace any metal listed below it in the activity series.
Precipitation Reactions • Double replacement reaction where a precipitate is formed due to the insolubility of the compound that is formed. • Refer to the solubility rules.
Oxidation numbers • The apparent charge assigned to an atom of an element • Metal: positive charge • Nonmetal: negative charge • Key points to remember: • The sum of the oxidation numbers of the elements in any compound is 0. • The sum of the oxidation numbers of the elements in any ion (polyatomic) is equal to the charge on the ion.
Reduction-oxidation reactions (redox) • Any chemical reaction in which changes in oxidation numbers occur • Has two parts: • Oxidation: one reactant is losing electrons or increases in oxidation number • The reactant losing electrons or increasing in oxidation number is known as the reducing agent • Reduction: other reactant is gaining electrons or decreases in oxidation number • The reactant gaining electrons or decreasing in oxidation number is known as the oxidizing agent
Using oxidation numbers • If there are changes in atomic oxidation numbers in the reaction, meaning loss and gain of electrons, then the reaction ISredox. • If there are no changes in atomic oxidation numbers then the reaction IS NOT redox.
