How did Arrenhius define acids and bases?

Acids increase [H+]

Bases increase [OH-]

100

Acids are found WHERE on the pH scale?

Below 7
100

HBr

hydrobromic acid

100

What is the pH scale based on? What does that mean?

The autoionization of water- some of it breaking up into H+ and OH-

100

Name at least 3 things needed for a titration

buret/burette

stopcock

analyte

titrant

stir rod

beaker

How did Bronsted-Lowry define acids and bases?

Acids are proton donors (give H+)

Bases are proton acceptors (get H+)

200

Acids all have H+, how many electrons does H+ have?

None

200

HI

hydroiodic acid

200

What is the pH of a solution with [H+]=0.000145 M (with correct sig figs)

3.83

200

What is one purpose of titrations?

Finding the Molarity of an unknown substance by finding the equivalence point

300

 CH3COOH + H2O → CH3COO- + H3O+ 

Label base, acid, conjugate base, and conjugate acid

Acid, base, conjugate base, conjugate acid

300
How do the bonds within an acid affect reactivity? Why?

Strong bonds = weak acid

Weak bonds = strong acid

The easier it is for the H+ to pop off, the stronger it is

300

HF

hydroflouric acid

300

What is the [OH-] of a solution with a pH of 3.4

2.5 x10^-11

300

What does a pH indicator do?

Tells us we have hit equivalence point (neutralization)

400

What happens when a strong acid and a strong base combine?

Neutralization- salt and water form

400

How would you describe a Lewis acid or base?

Electron pair receptor (acid)/Electron pair donor (base)

400

H2CO3

carbonic acid

400
What does it mean if something has "broken" the pH scale? (think about homework...)

The concentration of [H+] is very big or very small

400

What is the molarity of a solution of HCl if 34.00 mL of this solution requires 17.56 mL of 0.28 M NaOH for neutralization?

0.145 M

500

What are the products of the following reaction?

HNO3 + LiOH -> 

H2O + LiNO3

500

What has been your favorite pre-bellwork question so far?

anything!

500

HNO2

nitrous acid

500

If I have a pH of 1, how many times more acidic is that than a pH of 5?

10,000x more acidic

Find the molarity of a sulfuric acid solution when 35.00 mL of this solution is titrated to a slight pink endpoint with 13.7 mL of 0.56 M KOH.
