CHEM 121 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Strontium, Ionic Radius, Potassium Hydroxide
Document Summary
Using solubility rules (given on the exam), predict the solubility of a compound: base a substance that produces hydroxide ions, oh-, when it dissolves in water. This definition includes all arrhenius acids and bases but, as we will soon see, it is a bit more general. The bronsted-lowry concept is based on the transfer of a proton from one substance to another. The ionization of hcl in water can be viewed as a bronsted-lowry acid-base reaction with hcl behaving as the acid (h1+ ion donor) and water serving as the base (h1+ ion acceptor). Know the list of strong acids and bases (table 4. 3), and write equations for their dissociation in solution. Understand the definitions of acids and bases, and identify acids and bases in chemical reactions: acid a substance that produces hydrogen ions, h+ (hydronium ion, h3o+), when it dissolves in water. [4. 4: base a substance that produces hydroxide ions, oh-, when it dissolves in water.
