Fundamentals of Acids & Bases (A Level only) (AQA A-Level Chemistry): Flashcards

A proton donor that releases $\text{H}^+$ ions

A proton acceptor that accepts $\text{H}^+$ ions

Completely dissociate, releasing all $\text{H}^+$ ions

Releases one $\text{H}^+$ ion per molecule

Releases two $\text{H}^+$ ions per molecule

Dissociate fully, producing $\text{OH}^-$ ions

Partially dissociate; equilibrium lies far to the left

Partially ionise; equilibrium lies far to the left

Ethanoic acid ($\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}$)

Two species that differ by one $\text{H}^+$ ion; formed by proton transfer
