Flashcards from chapter 5 of Berkley Review's chemistry book (2010)

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
Neutralization   Mixing of equal mole portions of an acid with a base regardless of their concentration or strength  
🗑
Equivalence point   When you've added same number of moles as you had of the original acid/base  
🗑
Buffer   Roughly equal mole mixture of a weak acid and its weak conjugate base in aq solution. Resists change to pH  
🗑
Buffer range   10:1 to 1:10 ratios (pKa +/- 1)  
🗑
Physiological pH   7.4  
🗑
Half equivalence point   pH = pKa  
🗑
Respiratory acidosis   Retention of CO2 (blood pH goes down)  
🗑
Respiratory alkalosis   Loss of CO2 (blood pH goes up)  
🗑
Metabolic acidosis   Loss of HCO3- so blood pH goes down  
🗑
Metaboli alkalosis   Loss of H3O+ so blood pH goes up  
🗑
Sigmoidal   shape of a titration curve  
🗑
Important polyprotic acids   Carbonic acid (H2CO3), phosphoric acid (H3PO4), and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)  
🗑
Litmus paper   Blue turns red under acidic conditions  
🗑
Choosing indicator   * Want pH = pKa +/-1 * approximation: pKa = (pKa_acid + pH_titrantbase)/2  
🗑
pH at first equivalence point in diprotic acid   (pka1 + pka2)/2  
🗑
Formula weight   Find molar mass and divide by number of equivalents  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
