Presentation Transcript
Acids A substance that produces hydrogen ions, H+, in aqueous solution (hydronium ions, H3O+) Strong Acids (SA)-Acids that are strong electrolytes: There are 7 common SA: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO4, HClO3 & H2SO4 Memorize Table 4-5 (SA and A-) HCl(aq) H+(aq)+ Cl-(aq)
Weak Acids-Acids that are weak electrolytes. All acids that aren’t Strong Acids are Weak Acids (WA) Note: HF is a weak acid. HF H+ + F - H2SO4 H+ + HSO4- 2H+ + SO42- H2SO4 is a SA but HSO4- is a WA Diprotic Acid R-COOH is an organic weak acid (carboxylic acid) R=CH3, CH3CH2 ... Acetic Acid Mineral Acids - Inorganic Acids Memorize Table 4-6 (common WA and A-)
Bases A substance that produces hydroxide ions, OH-, in aqueous solution Strong Bases (SB)-Bases that are strong electrolytes: Group IA hydroxides & oxides. Heavier Group IIA hydroxides & oxides (Ca(OH)2, CaO, Sr(OH)2, SrO, Ba(OH)2 & BaO) Na2O + H2O 2NaOH 2Na+ + 2OH- BaO + H2O Ba(OH)2(s) Ba2+ + 2OH- Memorize Table 4-7 NaOH Na+ + OH-
Weak Bases-Bases that are weak electrolytes. All soluble bases that aren’t Strong Bases are Weak Bases (WB) NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH- Also, CH3NH2, (CH3)2N & (CH3)3N CH3NH2 + H2O CH3NH3 + + OH- Insoluble Bases-Bases that are sparingly soluble to insoluble. All hydroxides except those of Group IA and heavier Group IIA. For example: Cu(OH)2, Zn(OH)2, Fe(OH)2, Fe(OH)3, ....
