BR Chem Ch3
Flashcards from chapter 3 of Berkley Review's chemistry book (2010)
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Keq | Keq = [products]/[reactants] |
Catalyst effect on reaction rates | Catalysts lowers activation energy so it speeds up both the forward and reverse reaction equally |
Factors that can affect Keq | Temperature |
atm to torr conversion | 1atm = 760torr |
Complex equilibrium | If overall equation is sum of two equations, Keq=K1*K2 |
Equilibrium in flasks | Fixed volume, pressure varies |
Equilibrium in pistons | Fixed pressure, volume varies |
Exothermic and deltaH | deltaH < 0 |
Endothermic and deltaH | deltaH > 0 |
Isothermal | No change in temperature during the reaction |
Adiabatic | No change in heat during the reaction |
Dissolving | Breakdown of intermolecular forces between molecules as a solid becomes a solute |
Dissociation | Breakdown of ionic bonds between atoms within a lattice structure as a salt turns into a solute |
Solvent | Species in greatest concentration |
Solute | Species not in highest concentration |
Solubility | A measurement of the degree of dissolving that a solute undergoes within a particular solvent |
Saturated | No more solid can dissolve into solution |
Supersaturated | Amount of solid that is dissolved is beyond the maximum amount at a given temperature. First heat a solvent, then add solute until saturated, then slowly cool |
Solubility product (Ksp) | Equilibrium constant for a dissociation reaction |
Molar solubility | Maximum number of moles of solid that can dissolve into enough solvent to make one liter of solution under standard conditions. This is what you use to compare solubilities |
Gram solubility | Maximum number of grams of solid that can dissolve into enough solvent to make one hundred milliliters of solution under standard conditions |
Common ion effect | Presence of an ion that is also present in the solid... lowers solubility |
Comparing solubility | Use molar solubility, not Ksp (unless Ksp has same units) |
Conditions that make acidic salts most soluble | Basic solutions |
Conditions that make basic salts most soluble | Acidic solutions |
Temperature effects on density | Lowers density |
Temperature effects on molarity | Lowers molarity |
