Q

What is the definition of a strong acid?

A

Strong acids completely dissociate.

The concentration of hydrogen ions in a monoprotic strong acid will be the same as the concentration of the acid.

Q

What is the Kw expression used for?

A

The Kw expression can be used to calculate [H+ (aq)] ions if we know the [OH- (aq)] ions and vice versa.

Q

What happens if you increase the temperature of the pH of pure water?

A

At different temperatures to 25ºc the pH of pure water changes. Le Chatelier’s principle can predict the change. The dissociation of water is endothermic so increasing the temperature would push the equilibrium to the right giving a bigger concentration of H+ ions and a lower pH.

(see page 4 in the chemrevise revision guide)

A

(see page 4 in the chemrevise revision guide)

31

A

correct?

33
Q

Give the definition of a buffer solution.

A

A buffer solution is one where the pH does not change significantly if small amounts of acid or alkali are added to it.

34
Q

How is an acidic buffer solutionmade?

A

An acidic buffer solution is made from a weak acid and a salt of that weak acid (made from reacting the weak acid with a strong base)

e.g. ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate.

35
Q

How is a basic buffer solution made?

A

A basic buffer solution is made from a weak base and a salt of that weak base (made from reaction the weak base with a strong acid)

e.g. Ammonia and ammonium chloride.

36
Q

If you add small amounts of acid to a buffer how does the pH stay fairly constant? What happens?

A

(see page 5 in the chemrevise revision guide)

37
Q

If you add small amounts of alkali to a buffer how does the pH stay fairly constant? What happens?

A

(see page 5 in the chemrevise revision guide)

A

correct?

40
Q

Answer example 16 on page 6 in the chemrevise revision guide.

A

correct?

41
Q

When you add a small amount of alkali to a buffer, what happens to the moles of the buffer acid?

A

If a small amount of alkali is added to a buffer then the moles of the buffer acid would reduce by the number of moles of alkali added and the moles of salt would increase by the same amount so a new calculation of pH can be done with the new values.

42
Q

When you add a small amount of acid to a buffer, what happens to the moles of the buffer salt?

A

If a small amount of acid is added to a buffer then the moles of the buffer salt would reduce by the number of moles of acid added and the moles of buffer acid would increase by the same amount so a new calculation of pH can be done with the new values.
