Acid - Base Equilibrium Flashcards
pKw, pH, pOH
Equations
- pH= -log([H3O+])
- Also H+ = 10^-pH
- pOH= -log([OH-])
- OH- = 10^-pOH
- pKw = pH + pOH = -log([OH-] [H3O+])
- Ka * Kb = Kw
pH, pOH
How to decide concentration of H3O+ or OH-
- if in strong acid just that from the acid because self-ionization of water is negligible
Conjugate Base/Acid
Hydrolysis Rxns
- Acid - base rxns between ions(from salts) and H2O molecules
- May react with water in a/b rxn
Conjugate Base/Acid
pH vs H3O+ / OH- concentration
- 7: [H30+] = [OH-]
- <7: [H30+]
>
[OH-] - > 7: [H30+] < [OH-]
Conjugate Base/Acid
Determining Conjugate Base/Acid
- If acid, then find with extra electron (goes from donator to acceptor) ⇒conj base
- If base, then find with less electron (goes from acceptor to donator) ⇒ conj acid

Acid, Bases, and Acid-Base Equilibria
Ka/ Kb
- Acid/Base Ionization Constant
Acid, Bases, and Acid-Base Equilibria
Relation bet a/b and conj a/b
- Stronger the original, weaker the conjugate and vice versa
- Favored in the direction = stronger to weaker
Acid, Bases, and Acid-Base Equilibria
Kw
- Ion product of H2O
- = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 * 10^-14 M
- both H3O+ and OH- have concentrations of 1.0 * 10^-7
Acid, Bases, and Acid-Base Equilibria
How to deal with weak Acid/ Base equilibria
- Use ICE Table
- If M(a/b)/K(a/b) > 100, then [A/B]≈ Eq. value
