Q

Factors that effect buffering capacity

A
  • The relative concentrations of the weak X and its conjugate Y-highest buffering when equal
  • The actual concentration of the weak X and its conjugate Y- buffering capacity increase with increasing concentration

16
Q

What is the equivalence point?

A

The equivalence point is when the two reactants are in perfect stoichiometric values

17
Q

Why is water special?

A

Water is an amphiprotic substance meaning it acts as both an acid and a base

18
Q

Properties of an Indicator

A
  • weak acid or weak base

* changes colour at different pH

19
Q

Define Buffer

A
  • Solutions that have the ability to resist pH change when either acids or bases are added to them
  • They generally contain a weak acid and its conjugate base or its weak base and its conjugate acid
20
Q

What is an acid

A

An acid is a substance that donates one ore more protons or hydrogen ions

21
Q

Buffering capacity

A

A measure of the amount of acid/base the buffer can neutralise before the pH begins to change appreciably

22
Q

What indicator to use if acidic/basic salt?

A
  • Methyl Orange: Acidic salt

* Phenolphthalein: Basic salt

23
Q

What is the end point?

A

The end point is when the indicator changes colour

24
Q

What is special about group 13 and transition metals?

A

They act as acids, forming H30(+) in water

25
Q

PO4(3-)

A

Basic

26
Q

Define electrolytes

A

Electrolytes are substances that dissolve in water and form ions
