ACIDS AND BASES…WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Acid vs BaseAcidic Solutions-contain more hydrogen ions (H+) than hydroxide ions (OH-)
Basic solutions contain more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions
Water=NeutralThere are equal amounts of hydrogen ions as hydroxide ions
Note: H3O+ is the same as H+
Arrhenius AcidA substance ionizes and produces hydrogen ions
Arrhenius BaseA substance that ionizes to produce hydroxide ions
Brønsted-Lowry AcidAn acid is something that donates a hydrogen
An acid is something that accepts a hydrogen
Brønsted-Lowry Conjugate Acids and Bases
Conjugate Acid: the species produced when a base accepts a hydrogen
Conjugate Base: the species produced when an acid donates a base
Brønsted-Lowry Conjugate Acids and Bases
Brønsted-Lowry Conjugate Acids and Bases
Amphoteric SubstancesWater (and other species) that can act as acids or bases
Identify the conjugate acid/base pairs
Polyprotic AcidsWhen an acid donates more than one hydrogen-one is lost at a time!
