IB Chem Acids HL
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Lewis acid | Electron pair acceptor. Electrophile. |
| Buffers | solutions which resist changes in pH when small quantities of acid or alkali are added. A weak acid/base and its salt. |
| Equivalence point (stoichiometric point) | Volume, exact point at which the solution is neutralized for the given acid (solution may not actually be neutral), [H+] = [OH-] |
| Endpoint | pH range at which an indicator changes colour |
| Half-equivalence point | point in the graph where half of the acid has been neutralized and turned into a salt. Gives pKa of the weak acid or weak base. |
| Lewis base | Electron pair donor. Nucleophile. |
| Formula for converting pOH and [OH-] | [OH-] = 10^-pOH |
| Formulae for converting Ka and pKa | Ka = 10^-pKa, pKa = -log Ka |
| Formulae for converting Kb and pKb | Kb = 10^-pKb, pKb = -log Kb |
| Formula for converting between Ka and Kb | Kw = Ka x Kb |
| Formula for converting between pKa and pKb | pKw = 14 = pKa + pKb |
| Buffer equation (Henderson-Hasselbalch) | pH = kPa + log [A-]/[HA] |
| Indicator | weak acids or bases which have a different colour to their conjugate base or acid |
