Carbon oxygen, oxygen will have negative, carbon will have partial positive. Molecules formed by polar covalent bonds can hydrogen bond. Same polar molecules form acids and bases in water: Acid: releases a proton when dissolved in water. Base: accepts a proton when dissolved in water. Removes protons from the solutions, net positive charge, protonated. Equilibrium: reaction rates are equal, not the concentrations. In any acid base reaction, the equilibrium will favor the reaction that moves the proton to the stronger base. Strong acid- most of the molecules give up their protons. Weak acid- only a small proportion of the molecules give up their protons. Reaction equilibrium favors the associated form, the protonated form. Weak base- only weak, partial ionization (association), reaction equilibrium favors the dissociated form, the deprotonated form. Relationship between ph and weak acid or base in solution.
