Learning Objectives • Define acid and base according to the Arrhenius concept. • Define acid and base according to the Brønsted–Lowry concept. • Define the term conjugate acid-base pair. • Identify acid and base species. • Define amphiprotic species. • Understand the relationship between the strength of an acid and that of its conjugate base.
Learning Objectives • Decide whether reactants or products are favored in an acid-base reaction. • Define the ion-product constant for water. • Calculate the concentrations of H3O+ and OH- in solutions of strong acids or bases. • Define pH and calculate the pH from hydronium-ion concentrations. • Calculate the hydronium-ion concentration from pH.

Acid/Base Chemistry D. Relating Acid and Base Strength When a covalent acid dissolves in water, the proton transfer that forms H3O+ is called dissociation. A weak acid contains mostly undissociated acid, CH3COOH. A strong acid, HCl, is completely dissociated into H3O+(aq) and Cl−(aq).
Acid and Base StrengthRelating Acid and Base Strength A strong base, NaOH, is completely dissociated into Na+(aq) and −OH(aq). A weak base contains mostly undissociated base, NH3.
