Question
Answer
Alkali metals are always _____   Soluble  
🗑
Other soluble ions are:   NH4, NO3, ClO3, ClO4, C2H302 Ammonium, Nitrate, Chlorate, Perchlorate, Acetate  
🗑
O and OH (oxide and hydroxide are generally insoluble except   when they are combined with alkali metals, NH4, Ca^2+, Sr^2+, Ba^2+ when they are somewhat soluble  
🗑
CO3, PO4, S, SO3, C2O4, CrO4 are insoluble except   when combined with alkali metals and NH4  
🗑
Cl^-, Br^-, I^- are soluble except   when combined with Ag+, Pb^2+, Hg2^2+  
🗑
F^- is soluble except   when combined with Ca, Sr, Ba, Pb^2+, and Mg  
🗑
SO4 is soluble except   when combined with Ca, Sr, Ba, and Pb^2+  
🗑
Arrhenius' Acid Base Theory   Acids yield a hydrgeon ion and bases yield a hydroxide ion when dissolved in acqueous solution  
🗑
Bronsted-Lowry Acid Base Theory   Acids donate protons, or hydrogen ions; bases accept protons, or hydrogen ions  
🗑
Solution   A homogenous mixture in which a substance is dissolved in another  
🗑
Solute   The substance that dissolves the solute  
🗑
Solvent   The substance that dissolves in the solute  
🗑
Acqueous Solutions   Solutions in which water is the solute  
🗑
Electrolytes   Ions that conduct electricity. Strong acids and bases are strong electrolytes because they completely ionize in water  
🗑
Precipitates   A solid that forms from the reaction of two substances in acqueous solutions  
🗑
What is Ksp?   Ksp is the K equation for the solubility product that is formed. It is usually very small because only fractional amounts of insoluble solids are actually soluble in water.  
🗑
What is a complex ion? What makes it more stable?   A complex ion is formed by a metallic ion and a Lewis base. The charge of the metallic ion determines how many anions will bond to it (it will be double). The larger the exponent, the more stable it is.  
🗑
What is the Kw equivalent to?   Kw: 1.0x 10^-14 Use this to solve for Kb if given a Ka by division.  
🗑
What must you do to the pOH to solve the pH?   Subtract from 14  
🗑
If the base is not 1.0M (as in 1.0x 10^-3), then the exponent will not be the pH because of differences in molar concentration, what must you do?   Negative log it! -log()  
🗑
Lewis acid-base theory   Acids accept electrons, and bases donate electrons. Whatever is an Arrhenius or Bronsted acid or base, is the same by Lewis' definition as well.  
🗑
When are ice boxes used?   When there is a weak acid or base involved, because only partial dissociation occurs. When it is strong, assume there is 100% ionization.  
🗑
Trick to remember what to do when the acid/base is weak for an ice box?   The ionization is so small, that the x is largely negligible. Only 1-10% will actually ionize.  
🗑
What are the 7 strong acids?   HCl, HBr, HI, H2S04, HNO3, HClO4, H3PO4  
🗑
What are the 7 strong bases?   Ba(OH)2, Ca(OH)2, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH  
🗑
Why is HF not a strong acid, but the rest of the halogens are?   HF has hydrogen bonds!  
🗑
What makes an acid/base strong, rather than weak?   The more polar an acid/base is, the stronger it will be because the H+ will come right off, creating ions  
🗑
If heat were added, would the pH of water still be 7.0x 10^-4?   No, the water would be more acidic.  
🗑
What does neutralization really mean?   Neutralization means that the moles of acid= the moles of base?  
🗑
What is special about the half-titration point?   pH= pKa  
🗑
What are the scenarios in which pH=pKa?   1. A perfect buffer 2. pH= pKa 3. The pH change (exponent) of the indicator's color  
🗑
When looking at a titration curve, when can you expect a bump, meaning a buffer has formed?   When a weak acid or base is involved, when the acid is di or triprotic, and if the acid is originally in the beaker.  
🗑
What equation should you use to calculate the pH of a buffer solution?   Henderson-Hasselbalch pH= pKa + log(S/A)  
🗑
When calculating the pH during a titration, what must always be the first step?   Find the number of moles used (moles times volume) and then subtract to find which one is left over.  
🗑
When a strong acid and a strong base are mixed, what are the results?   Water and a neutral salt  
🗑
Why do strong acids/bases burn?   Because they are ionizing on your skin, and changing the pH by donating or accepting excess hydrogens.  
🗑
When writing net ionic equations, what are the only things that ionize?   Strong substances and aqueous solutions. Leave the rest alone, and there must always be a driving force: the evolution of a gas, or the formation of a precipitate  
🗑
