Acid Behavior in Chemical Structure
100
a proton with no surrounding valence electron
What is an H+ ion?
100
substances that have the pH of 0-6.9
What is acidic?
100
Is only partially ionized in aqueous solution
What is acidic substances as weak acids?
100
an electron pair acceptor
What is a Lewis acid?
100
acids in which OH and possibly additional oxygen atoms are bound to a central atom
What is oxyacids?
200
Can form hydrogen bonds to additional H2O molecules to create large clusters of hydrogen ions
What is an H3O+ ion?
200
A common acid-base indicator
What is Bromthymol blue?
200
the acid dissociation constant
What is Ka?
200
an electron pair donor
What is a Lewis base?
200
affects the ease with which a hydrogen atom ionizes from HX
What is the stability of the conjugate base, X-?
300
a molecule or ion that needs to have nonbonding pair of electrons that can use it to bond to an H+ ion
What is a Bronstead-Lowry base?
300
the negative logarithm in base 10 of [H+]
What is [H+] in terms of pH?
300
denotes that it is an equilibrium constant for the ionization of an acid
What is the subscript a on Ka?
300
includes molecules that have an incomplete
What is Lewis acids?
300
they change less moving across a row in the periodic table than they do down a group
What is bond strength?
400
Acts as a base when combined with something more strongly acidic than itself, and acts as an acid when combined with something more strongly basic than itself
What is an amphiprotic substance?
400
Has the normal pH range of 7.35-7.45
What is human blood?
400
This indicates the tendency of the acid to ionize in water
What is the magnitude of Ka?
400
metal ions are positively charged so they attract the unshared electron pairs of water molecules
What is hydration?
400
the most important factor determining acid strength among the binary acids
What is the H-X bond strength?
500
A substance that contains hydrogen but does not demonstrate any acidic behavior in water
What is a substance with negligible acidity?
500
A digital pH meter (a device)
What is a millivoltmeter?
500
Acids that have more than one ionizable H atom
What is polyprotic acids?
500
many cations can function as
What is Lewis acids?
500
this contributes further to the stability of the anion by spreading the negative charge over several atoms
What is the conjugate base of a carboxylic acid?
