Chapter 14 (Acids & Bases) Bronsted-Lowry definition: Monoprotic, Diprotic, & Triprotic Acids:Labeling of the Acid, Base, Conjugate Acid, & Conjugate Base is an acid-base reaction: Strong acid vs. weak acid: Ion Product Constant for water (Kw): • In pure water at equilibrium, there is always a constant concentration of H3O+ and OH- brought about by spontaneous self-ionization. [H3O+] = 10-7 M [OH-] = 10-7 M [H3O+][ OH-] = 10-14 = KwpH and pOH scales: • Simpler numerical way of expressing acidity and basicity. • Logarithmic scale pH = -log[H3O+] pOH = -log[OH-] pH + pOH =
