The Brønsted-Lowry definition is broader than the Arrhenius definition because it does not require
water
A Lewis acid accepts an electron
pair
Brønsted-Lowry bases are proton donors.
False
Brønsted-Lowry acids are
proton
donors, and Brønsted-Lowry bases are proton acceptors.
True
Match the acid-base definition with its description:
Arrhenius ↔️ Releases H⁺ in water
Brønsted-Lowry ↔️ Proton donor or acceptor
Lewis ↔️ Electron pair acceptor
What two products are formed in an acid-base neutralization reaction?
Salt and water
What type of acid is BF₃ according to the Lewis definition?
Accepts electron pairs
What do Brønsted-Lowry acids donate?
Protons (H⁺)
Lewis bases donate
electron
pairs.
True
Acid-base neutralization reactions form salt and
water
In the reaction HCl + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻, what is the conjugate base of HCl?
Cl⁻
A buffer system maintains a stable
pH
If the concentrations of a weak acid and its conjugate base are equal, the pH is equal to
pKₐ
According to the Arrhenius definition, acids release
H⁺
Match the acid-base definition with its key concept:
Arrhenius ↔️ Releases H⁺ or OH⁻ in water
Brønsted-Lowry ↔️ Proton donor or acceptor
Lewis ↔️ Electron pair acceptor or donor
What are the products of the reaction between HCl and NaOH?
NaCl and H₂O
What is the conjugate base of HCl in the reaction with water?
Cl⁻
Conjugate acid-base pairs differ by a single
proton
What are the two types of mixtures that form a buffer system?
Weak acid/conjugate base or weak base/conjugate acid
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates pH to pKa and the ratio of conjugate
base
What is the Arrhenius definition of an acid?
Releases H⁺ in water
What is the Lewis definition of a base?
Donates electron pair
Give an example of an Arrhenius acid.
HCl
In the reaction between HCl and NaOH, H⁺ ions from HCl combine with OH⁻ ions from NaOH to form
H₂O
What do Arrhenius acids release in water?
Hydrogen ions (H⁺)
An example of a Brønsted-Lowry base is
H₂O
Match the acid-base theory with its definition:
Arrhenius ↔️ Releases H⁺ or OH⁻ in water
Brønsted-Lowry ↔️ Donates or accepts H⁺
Lewis ↔️ Accepts or donates electron pairs
Neutralization reactions involve the combination of H⁺ and
OH⁻
ions.
True
Conjugate acid-base pairs differ by a single
proton
(H⁺).
True
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates pH to pKₐ and the ratio of conjugate base to acid
concentrations
.
True
The pH of the buffer is
4.76
NaOH is an example of an
Arrhenius
base
True
The Lewis definition is the most
general
In a neutralization reaction, an acid donates
H⁺
A buffer system resists changes in
pH
What does HCl become after donating a proton?
Cl⁻
Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is an example of a weak
acid
What is the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation?
pH = pK_a + \log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}</latex>
Factors influencing buffer capacity
1️⃣ Concentration of components
2️⃣ Ratio of acid and conjugate base concentrations
Buffers are used in industrial processes to ensure product quality by controlling
pH
