Acid–base concepts and water

Brønsted–Lowry
2× asked, last 2023
HA+HX2O⇌HX3OX++AX−(acid1+base2⇌acid2+base1)\begin{aligned}&\ce{HA + H2O <=> H3O+ + A-}\\&(\text{acid}_1+\text{base}_2\rightleftharpoons\text{acid}_2+\text{base}_1)\end{aligned}
Stronger acid, weaker conjugate base. Lewis acid accepts a pair (BFX3\ce{BF3}, AlClX3\ce{AlCl3}, cations).
Ionic product of water
3× asked, last 2025
Kw=[HX+][OHX−]=10−14 (298 K)pH+pOH=pKa+pKb=pKw\begin{aligned}&K_w=[\ce{H+}][\ce{OH-}]=10^{-14}\ (298\ \text{K})\\&\text{pH}+\text{pOH}=\text{p}K_a+\text{p}K_b=\text{p}K_w\end{aligned}
KwK_w rises with TT; hot water pH < 7 but neutral. KaKb=KwK_aK_b=K_w for a conjugate pair.
