  1. Acids and Bases

  2. Acid/Base Definitions • Arrhenius Model • Acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solutions • Bases produce hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions • Bronsted-Lowry Model • Acids are proton donors • Bases are proton acceptors • Lewis Acid Model • Acids are electron pair acceptors • Bases are electron pair donors

  3. Acid Dissociation HA  H+ + A- AcidProtonConjugate base Alternately, H+ may be written in its hydrated form, H3O+ (hydronium ion)

  4. Dissociation of Strong Acids Strong acids are assumed to dissociate completely in solution. Large Ka or small Ka? Reactant favored or product favored?

  5. Dissociation Constants: Strong Acids

  6. Dissociation of Weak Acids Weak acids are assumed to dissociate only slightly (less than 5%) in solution. Large Ka or small Ka? Reactant favored or product favored?
