CHEM 113- Unit 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| percent dissociation | [HA]dissociated/[HA]initial x 100 |
| % dissociation is higher | for more dilute initial acid concentrations |
| polyprotic acid | >1 ionizable proton |
| what Ka value (of a polyprotic acid) controls pH? | Ka1 |
| anions of weak acids | are weak bases |
| cations of weak bases | are weak acids |
| small, highly charged metal cations | make H3O+ |
| strong acids (6) | HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO4, H2SO4 |
| lewis base | donates an electron pair |
| lewis acid | accepts an electron pair |
| what is formed in lewis acid/base rxns | adducts |
| arrhenius acid | H+ |
| arrhenius base | OH- |
| bronsted-lowry acid | donates H+ |
| bronsted-lowry base | accepts H+ |
| buffers | contain a weak acid and its conjugate base (or vice versa) and are resistant to changes in pH |
| ratio to be a buffer | 1:10 |
| buffers have the highest capacity when | concentrations of acid and base are equal |
| the more concentrated a buffer is... | the higher its capacity (more base/acid can be added and still work) |
| useable range of a buffer | +-1 unit of the pKa |
| buffer range | the pH range over which the buffer acts effectively |
| indicators | weak acids with distinct color changes between protonated and deprotonated forms |
| equivalence point | when moles of acid=moles of base |
| equivalence point of strong acids/bases | always 7 |
| when does pKa=pH | half way through buffer region [HA] and [A-] cancel |
| pH of weak base/strong acid | <7 |
| pH of weak acid/strong base | >7 |
| polyprotic acids (in titrations) | have as many buffer region/equivalence points as ionizable protons |
