Unit 4.8 Introduction to Acid-Base Reactions
Label the Brønsted-Lowry acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base
in a reaction.
-
Label the acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base in HCl + H₂O
→ H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻.
Recognize that water is amphoteric and label it as either an acid or a
base given the overall reaction.
-
In NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻, is water acting as an acid or a base?
List the strong acids and strong bases.
-
Name three strong acids and three strong bases commonly used in
chemistry.
Compare the relative strengths of acids and bases based on dominant
species after the reaction.
-
After NH₃ reacts with H₂O, explain which species is the stronger base.
Draw a particle diagram of a weak or strong acid and label
Brønsted-Lowry acid/base in reactants and conjugate acid/base in
products.
-
Draw a particle diagram for HCl dissociating in water and label
acid/base pairs.
