QuestionAnswer
equilibrium law Ka=[H+][A-]/[HA] ; or pKa = - log Ka
acid ionization constant Ka. For weak acids, Ka is small. The strength of an acid is expressed by Ka; the larger the value of Ka, the stronger and more fully dissociated the acid is. At the same time, the stronger the acid, the smaller the pKa.
base ionization constant Kb= [BH+][OH-]/B ; or pKb = - log Kb
Percentage ionization =(Moles ionized per liter/ moles available per liter) *100
1st and 2nd Acid-base properties of a salt 1. Neither cation nor anion can affect the pH, solution should be neutral 2. Only cation of salt is acidic. solution will be acidic.
3rd and 4th Acid-base properties of a salt 3. Only the anion of the salt is basic, the solution will be basic. 4. If the cation is acidic and the anion is basic, the pH of the solution is determined by the relative strength of the acid and the base based on the Ka and the Kb of the ions.
Buffer solutions solutions that contain a weak acid and a weak base. They resist large changes of the pH-value when small amounts of strong acids or strong bases are added.
Buffer work by...? neutralizing large changes of the pH-value when small amounts of strong acids or strong bases are added.
how do you calculate the pH-value of a buffer solution? the same principles as before are employed for weak acids and bases. Either Ka or Kb can be used.
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation pH = (pKa + log)*([HA]/[A-])
formulas for The H+ concentration of a buffer [ H+ ] = Ka *[HA]/[A] ; [ H+ ] = Ka*[mol HA]/ [mol A-]

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
