Document Summary

Have a sour taste: vinegar and citrus fruit. React with certain metals to produce h2. React with carbonates and bicarbonates to produce co2. Weak acids are weak electrolytes: bases. A bronsted acid is a proton donor. A bronsted base is a proton acceptor: conjugates. The conjugate is what an acid or base becomes in a reaction. They conjugate has a 1 charge, 1 h difference. Bases are always more (-) than conjugate. Acids are always more (+) than conjugate. If there is a single arrow the reactants fully dissolve. If there are double arrows there are weak electrolytes: ka. Acid strength measured by the size of the equilibrium constant when reacts with h2o. Hacid + h2o to acid + h3o+ The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called the acid ionization constant, ka larger ka = stronger acid: acid-base properties of water. H2o + h2o to h3o+ + oh-
