Week 8 Worksheet: Chapter 10 Acids and Bases I. Identifying acid/base theories. For each molecule or ion in the table, identify whether it can act as an acid or a base and put a checkmark under each theory or theories that describe it. Molecule/Ion Acid or Base Arrhenius Bronsted-Lowry Lewis Br
base x CH 3 COOH acid x HNO 2 acid x II. Conjugate Acids and Bases. In each reaction, identify the acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base. Then, write which acid/base theory or theories describe the reaction. (a) NH 3 + H 2 O _ NH 4
base acid conj. Acid conj.base Theory: Bronsted (b) NH 4
acid base conj.base conj acid Theory: Bronsted (c) 2NaOH + H 2 SO 4 _ 2H 2 O + Na 2 SO 4 base acid conj. Acid, base Theory: Bronsted, Arrhenius (d) HSO 3

Acid/Base Strength (a) What property do all strong acids and strong bases have in common? Write a reaction for HCl and water to illustrate your explanation. They dissociate completely in water HCl_ H+^ + Cl- (b) Circle the stronger acid in each pair: NH 4
NH 3 H 2 O H 3 O+ HXO HXO 3 (X is an unknown element) (c) Circle the weaker base in each pair: NH 4 +^ NH 3 Cl-^ F- NaOH NH 4 OH NaOH NaHCO 3 IV. Ternary Acids/Bases Explain the order of increasing or decreasing acid strength and conjugate base strength for the following groups: (a) H 2 SO 3 , H 2 SO 4 The more oxygens there are in an oxyacid, the more e
density is pulled from (b) HNO 2 , HNO 3 the protons, making them more likely to leave the molecule.
