Document Summary
Br nsted-lowry definition: we will mostly be using the b-l definition in this class, acids are proton ________________, bases are proton _________________ Br nsted-lowry definition: all acid/base reactions are proton ____________ processes, always reversible in theory, when an acid/base pair undergoes a reaction, a new acid/base pair is produced (find out where the proton is being transferred!) Br nsted-lowry definition: here"s what the reaction looks like on the molecular level: Br nsted-lowry definition: all acid/base reactions can be described by an equilibrium constant (implied to be kc) O nh: eqm constants for acids where water is the base = ka, eqm constants for bases where water is the acid = kb. Acid strength: strong acids completely react with water to form h3o+ and its conjugate base (also called complete ____________________) Hcl + h2o h3o+ + cl- (ka ~ 106: examples of strong acids: hcl, hbr, hi, hclo4, hno3 , h2so4.
