What is a substance that accepts a proton (H+)?

200

Which of the following is a stronger acid: one with a lower or higher pKa value?

What does SI stand for?

What is supplemental instruction?

300

What is the definition of a conjugate acid-base pair?

What is a pair of two substances related by the gain or loss of a single proton (H+)?

300

If the Ka value for an acid is 1 x 10^-3, what can you conclude about its strength?

What is that it's a weak acid since Ka is relatively small?

300

What is a Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction?

What is the transfer of a proton (H+)?

300

In the context of bases, are hydroxide ions (OH-) typically associated with strong or weak bases?

What is strong bases are associated with hydroxide ions (OH-)?

300

400

In the reaction between acetic acid (CH3COOH) and water (H2O) to form acetate (CH3COO-) and hydronium (H3O+), identify the conjugate acid-base pairs.

What are CH3COOH/CH3COO- and H2O/H3O+ as conjugate acid-base pairs?

400

For a weak acid, why is the value of Ka much smaller compared to a strong acid with a similar concentration?

What is because a weak acid only partially ionizes, resulting in a lower concentration of H+ ions, and hence, a smaller Ka?

Explain the difference between Lewis and Brønsted-Lowry definitions of acids and bases.

What is Brønsted-Lowry is about proton transfer, while Lewis includes electron pair exchange in reactions?

Brønsted-Lowry Definition:

  • Acid donates a proton (H+).
  • Base accepts a proton (H+).

Lewis Definition:

  • Acid accepts an electron pair.
  • Base donates an electron pair.
400

What term is used to describe an acid that does not completely ionize in solution, resulting in a lower concentration of H+ ions?

  • What is a weak acid?

500

Calculate the Ka for an acid if its concentration is 0.01 M, and the concentration of its conjugate base is 0.1 M in a solution.

What is Ka = [H+][A-] / [HA] = (0.1)(0.1) / 0.01 = 1.0?
