CONTENTS Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases Lewis theory of acids and bases Strong acids and bases Weak acids Weak bases Hydrogen ion concentration.
PH = - log [H 3 O + ] [H 3 O + ] = 10 - pH mol/L For pure water at 25 o C pH = - log (1.0 x 10 -7 ) = 7.00 For a change in pH by 1, H 3 O + concentration.
Acids & Bases and Titrations Properties of Acids & Bases Acids –taste sour –feel like water –good electrolytes –turn blue litmus paper “pink” –pH less.
(8.3) Acid-Base Properties of Salt Solutions. pH Review Recall Acidic [H 3 O + ] > [OH - ] Basic [H 3 O + ] < [OH - ] Neutral [H 3 O + ] = [OH - ]
Acids and Bases Chapter 8. Polyprotic acids However, the most ionization occurs in the first step. K a1 >> K a2 > K a3.... Consequently, the [H + ]
Acids and Bases. Acid: a substance that, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of H + (protons) HCl H + + Cl - HCl + H 2 O H 3 O + + Cl.
