Organic Chemistry I know the terminology:
Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases: H+ donors
and acceptors
Lewis definition of acids and bases: electron pair acceptors and
donors
acidity constant (Ka) and pKa: indicators of acid strength
acid/base reactions: identify acids and bases
conjugate acid/base pairs: stronger acids have weaker conjugate
bases
understand structural effects on acid strength
predict major form of conjugate acid or base, knowing pH
and pKa
predict the preferred direction of acid-base equilibria, knowing
Ka data
predict relative acid strengths, based on structures
