Study Set Content:
are molecular bases
NH3, H20
HPO4 2-, HS-
anionic acids
OH-, SH-, S2-, SO4-2
anionic bases
substance capable of acting as
an ACID or a BASE
AMPHIPROTIC
Substance which upon dissolving in water
increasing the acidic properties of the solution.
Acids
are those capable of giving one proton per
molecule or ion
MONOPROTIC ACIDS
are those capable of giving up two proton per
molecule or ion
DIPROTIC ACIDS
A strong acid has a great tendency to
donate a proton. Many of the so called
mineral acids such as HCl, HNO3, HClO4
appears to have
equal strength in an
aqueous solution
Substances which upon dissolving in water reduces the
concentration of hydronium ion and thus increasing the
basic properties of the solution
Bases
are those capable of accepting one protons
MONOPROTIC BASES
are those capable of accepting two protons
DIPROTIC BASES
Is a process whereby a proton is
transferred from one molecule to another. This
reaction is called protolytic reaction
Protolysis
A strong base has a great tendency to accept a
proton?
Yes
An acid and a base related to each other so that one is
formed from gaining or losing of a proton, are said to be
conjugate with each other.
conjugate base of HCl acid
Cl-
is a conjugate base of CH3COOH acid
CH3COO
is a conjugate base of NH4 acid
NH3
is a conjugate acid of Cl- base
HCl
is a conjugate acid of CH3COO base
CH3COOH
is a conjugate acid of NH3 base
NH4
