Acids and Bases: The Final Countdown Shireen Rudina
Arrhenius Theory In water, acids dissociate to form H+and bases dissociate to form OH- HCl H+ + H2O Ba(OH)2 Ba+2 + 2OH- Neutralization reaction: Acid + Base => Salt + Water HA + BOH BA + H2O
Bronsted-Lowry Theory Acids = H+ donors Bases= H+ acceptors NH3 + H2O NH4+ so NH3 is a base Every acid-base reaction has a conjugate acid and base
Label the acid/base, and conjugate acid/base HNO3 + H2O H3O+ + NO3-
Acid + Carbonate Salt + H2O + CO2 Egg: CH3COOH + CaCO3 Ca(CH3COO) + H2O + CO2 Baking Soda & Vinegar: CH3COOH + NaHCO3 CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
Buffers • Weak acid and its conjugate base • Keep the pH around pKa of the acid • Has a buffering capacity
Round 1: Multiple Choice Questions are worth 10 points
What is true of a strong acid? • Has a Ka < 1 • It can have a strong conjugate base • Can be neutralized by a strong base to form a salt • It has a pH close to 5
Which of the following is NOT a strong acid? A. H2SO4 B. HI C. HF D. HNO3 E. HBr
Which of the following is NOT a strong base? • KOH • LiOH • Ba(OH)2 • BOH
The conjugate acid of a weak base can be: A. Only a strong acid B. Only a weak acid C. Either a strong or weak acid
A weak base: • Is very dilute • Dissociates a lot in water • Dissociates a little in water • Does not react with an acid
I want to make a buffer at pH=9. Which conjugate acid-base pair could I use?
Round 2: Short Answer 20 points
What is the one molecule that can be an acid or a base? EXTRA +10 for the word that describes molecules that can be acids or bases (Italian is fine)
If I put .5 M of the strong base Ca(OH)2 in water, how many moles of OH will I have?
