  2. Phosphoric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoric_acid

    Phosphoric acid (orthophosphoric acid, monophosphoric acid or phosphoric (V) acid) is a colorless, odorless phosphorus -containing solid, and inorganic compound with the chemical formula H 3 P O 4. It is commonly encountered as an 85% aqueous solution, which is a colourless, odourless, and non- volatile syrupy liquid.

  3. Acid dissociation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_dissociation_constant

    v. t. e. In chemistry, an acid dissociation constant (also known as acidity constant, or acid-ionization constant; denoted ⁠ ⁠) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution. It is the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction. known as dissociation in the context of acid–base reactions. The chemical species HA is an ...

  4. Phosphoric acids and phosphates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoric_acids_and...

    Phosphoric acids and phosphates. Appearance. Pyrophosphoric acid. In chemistry, a phosphoric acid, in the general sense, is a phosphorus oxoacid in which each phosphorus (P) atom is in the oxidation state +5, and is bonded to four oxygen (O) atoms, one of them through a double bond, arranged as the corners of a tetrahedron.

  5. Conjugate (acid-base theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_(acid-base_theory)

    An example of this case would be the splitting of hydrochloric acid HCl in water. Since HCl is a strong acid (it splits up to a large extent), its conjugate base (Cl −) will be weak. Therefore, in this system, most H + will be hydronium ions H 3 O + instead of attached to Cl − anions and the conjugate bases will be weaker than water molecules.

  6. Dissociation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociation_(chemistry)

    Dissociation in chemistry is a general process in which molecules (or ionic compounds such as salts, or complexes) separate or split into other things such as atoms, ions, or radicals, usually in a reversible manner. For instance, when an acid dissolves in water, a covalent bond between an electronegative atom and a hydrogen atom is broken by ...

  7. Henderson–Hasselbalch equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henderson–Hasselbalch...

    Henderson–Hasselbalch equation. In chemistry and biochemistry, the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a chemical solution of a weak acid to the numerical value of the acid dissociation constant, Ka, of acid and the ratio of the concentrations, of the acid and its conjugate base in an equilibrium. [1]

  8. Phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate

    In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid. It most commonly means orthophosphate, a derivative of orthophosphoric acid, a.k.a. phosphoric acid H3PO4. The phosphate or orthophosphate ion [PO. 4]3−. is derived from phosphoric acid by the removal of three protons H+.

  9. Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brønsted–Lowry_acid...

    t. e. The Brønsted–Lowry theory (also called proton theory of acids and bases[1]) is an acid–base reaction theory which was first developed by Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and Thomas Martin Lowry independently in 1923. [2][3] The basic concept of this theory is that when an acid and a base react with each other, the acid forms its conjugate ...
