Chapter 3: Acids and Bases 3.1 Introduction to Brønsted- Lowry Acids and Bases Arrhenius definition
Acid - substance that ionizes to give a proton (H+) when dissolved in water Base - substance that ionizes to give hydroxide (HO-) when dissolved in water
Bronsted-Lowry definition Acid - proton donor Base - proton acceptor

3.3 Brønsted- Lowry Acidity: Quantitative Perspective H2O + H–A H3O + A– +
Keq= __________ [H3O+] [A−] [H-A] [H2O]
Keq [H2O] = = Ka acid dissociation constant __________ [H3O+] [A−] [H-A]
pKa = –log Ka
pH = –log [H3O+]
In dilute solution, the H2O concentration is constant (~55.5 M) and is therefore incorporated into the Ka
The lower the pKa value, the stronger the acid strength.
The conjugate base of a weak acid is a strong base.
The conjugate base of a strong acid is a weak base. 45

3.4 Brønsted- Lowry Acidity: Qualitative Perspective
H–A H+ + :A– The acidity of an acid H-A is reflective of the stability of the conjugate base A–. Consider the atom bearing the negative charge. The ability of an atom to stabilize negative charge increases across a row (from left to right), and down a period.

Chapter 4: Alkanes and Cycloalkanes 4.1 Introduction to alkanes Hydrocarbon: molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen
1. Aliphatic – open chain hydrocarbons a. alkanes - contain C-C single bonds - CnH(2n+2) b. alkenes - contain C=C double bonds - CnH(2n) c. alkynes - contain CΞC triple bonds - CnH(2n-2)
2. Cycloalkanes - CnH(2n)
3. Arenes (aromatics) - cyclic hydrocarbons with alternating C-C single and double bonds
