Acid-base pH III Flashcards
Polyfunctional acids & bases
- Dibasic acid
-2 ionisable groups
Strong acid
Tribasic
3 ionisable group
Dicarboxylic acids
extra COOH: e- withdrawing stabilises conjugate base
Diamines
-NH2 and -NH3- e- withdrawing
Extra -NH2
not very marked effect on 1st pKa1 reduction
Difference between pKa1 and pKa2 _______ as -CH2- seperating COOH ________
diminishes
increases
After removing the first H from COOH; pKa2 < pKa1 COO- electron-donating ______ the dianion.
destabilise
Extra COOH: ______ acidity
increase
lower the pKa ______ the acidity
higher
2nd pKa is always bigger. Why?
1st ionisation COOH increase acidity of compound but once it has been ionised to COO- it will decrease acidity of compound.
Extra -NH3+
reducing a lot of the pKa2
Examples of oxoacids;
HNO3, H2SO4, H3PO4
they contain OH groups that ionise (produce H+) in water and (n-m) doubly boded O
Na2O is a _______ oxide
basic = reacts with water to make NaOH solution
SO2 is an ______ oxide
reacts with water to make H2SO3 (eq w/ HSO3-)
Basic oxides reacts with ____
Acidic oxides reacts with ____
acids
bases
titration curve dibasic acid-strong base = 2 moles base and 1 mol acid: DRAW CURVE
1st equivalence point at pH4 and 2nd at pH 9
2 independent reactions with base as its dibasic (2pKa)
Equivalence point; acid-base –>
equal stoichiometric amount
reaction completed when…
all acid has been converted to its conjugate base
Speciation curve
look at lecture slides/google
how to use pKa values
predicts outcome of acid-base interactions
acid-base interactions
the formation of weaker acid and weaker base (most stable being favoured at equilibrium)
