Q
Bronsted Lowry acid definition
A
proton doner
2
Q
bronsted lowry base definition
A
proton acceptor
3
Q
what does pKa describe
A
a weak acids ability to donate a proton
4
Q
henderson hasselbach equation
A
pH= pKa + log(deprotonated/protonated)
5
Q
why is henderson hasselbach not good for strong acids
A
it doesn’t account for ionization of water
6
Q
what is the inflection point in a titration curve
A
where protonated=deprotonated in the solution
7
Q
why does the buffer region exist
A
the weak acid and weak base are both in high enough concentrations to absorb or release protons as necessary to resist changes in pH
