1140 Exam 3 Flashcards
Does a precipitate form if Q is less than K?
No
If Q is larger than K…
a precipitate forms
Which one of these is more soluble in HCl? Calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate?
Calcium carbonate
When a salt contains the conjugate base of a strong acid, the solubility ________ in acidic solution.
decreases
Complex ions form from what two substances
metal cation and lewis base
Complex ion formation _______ the solubility of a salt
increase
first law of thermodynamics
delta U = q + w
State function
Does not depend on path taken, just final - initial
Second law of thermodynamics
Entropy of a system always increases for spontaneous processes
Negative delta G means a process is
spontaneous
Third law of thermodynamics
A substance that is perfectly crystalline at 0 degrees K has a entropy of 0
Gibbs free energy equation
delta G = delta H - T(K) x delta S
Signs of H and S when process is spontaneous at all Temps
-H, +S
Signs of H and S when process is nonspontaneous at all temps
+H, -S
delta G and K equation
delta G = -RTln(k)
