4B Quantifying Acids and bases Flashcards
1
Q
True/False: PH is only between 1-14
A
false
2
Q
True/False: pH can be a negative number
A
True
3
Q
Since pH and pKA are not the same, what do each measure
A
pH: measure of the concentration of [H+]
pKA: measure of the equilibrium constant Ka
4
Q
What is a monoprotic acid
A
An acid with one ionizable H atom per molecule
5
Q
What is the equation to find % ionization
A
ionized acid concentration [H+] AT EQUILIBRIUM/Initial concentration of acid [HA]0
6
Q
T/F: Even weak acids become fully ionized at low enough concentrations
A
TRUE
7
Q
- Where do you assume equilibrium is shifted for weak and strong acids
A
Weak: Left
Strong: Right
