Unit 8 flashcards (Acids & Bases)

Compounds such as: Acids, Bases, and Salts. Which when they are dissolved break into the individual ions, allowing for electrical conductivity.

When dissolved in water it will release H⁺ ions into the solution, increasing the concentration of H⁺ ions.

When dissolved in water it will release OH⁻ ions (Hydroxide Ions) increasing their concentration in a solution.

Another term for Bases.

Any substance that will donate a Hydrogen Ion. (H+)

Proton(H⁺) Donor

Any substance that will accept a Hydrogen Ion. (H+)

Proton(H⁺) Acceptor

When an acid gives up a H⁺ ion, it will form a conjugate Base. And Vise Versa.

Acid + Base → Salt + Water (SWAB)

The procedure used to find the unknown molarity of an acid or base, by adding an acid or base of a known molarity until the solution is neutral, then solving for the unknown.

• (MA)(VA) = (MB)(VB) (The A’s and B’s are subscripts)

Acids or bases with only one H⁺ or OH⁻ ions.

Acids or Bases with only two H⁺ or OH⁻ ions.

Expression of how many H+ ions are in a solution. (The Acidity)

-log[H⁺]

Means concentration

Acidic pH

Neutral pH

Basic pH

Expression of how many OH- ions are in a solution. (The Alkalinity)

-log[OH⁻]

Basic pOH

Neutral pOH

Acidic pOH
