22
Q

A difference of 1 on the pH scale means

A

a 10x difference in [H+]

23
Q

pKa =

A

-Log10Ka

24
Q

Ka =

A

10-pKa

25
Q

The value of Kw will alter with temperature, explain why pure water is always neutral

A

because [H+] = [-OH] at all times.

26
Q

Define a buffer

A

A BUFFER is a solution which can resist changes in pH when a small amount of acid or base is added

27
Q

What is an acid buffer made of

A

An ACIDIC BUFFER is made of a weak acid and a soluble salt of that acid. It maintains a pH below 7.

28
Q

What is a basic buffer made of

A

A BASIC BUFFER is made of a weak BASE and a soluble salt of that BASE. It maintains a pH above 7.

29
Q

Steps to get to pH in a buffer calculation when given concentration of weak acid CH3COOH, concentration of the salt CH3COONa and Ka value for weak acid.

A

sub values straight into Ka = [H+][ CH3COO]/[CH3COOH].
Rearrange to get [H+]
Use pH = -Log10[H+]

30
Q

Steps to get to pH in a buffer calculation when given volume and conc of both the weak acid and a base, where the weak acid is in excess, Ka value also given

A

Complete ICE box
Find new moles of acid and the moles of the salt produced.
sub mole* values into Ka = [H+][CH3COO]/[CH3COOH]. *volumes would cancel out so moles can be used instead of conc
Rearrange to get [H+]
Use pH = -Log10[H+]

31
Q

Steps to get to pH in a buffer calculation when enough base has been added to neutralise exactly half of the acid present.

A

Recognise this is a special situation - half neutralisation point so Ka = [H+]
Use pH = -Log10[H+]

32
Q

Formula for sulphuric acid

A

H2SO4

33
Q

Formula for nitric acid

A

HNO3

34
Q

Formula for phosphoric acid

A

H3PO4

35
Q

Formula for ethanoic acid

A

CH3COOH

36
Q

Formula for aluminium phosphate

A

AlPO4

37
Q

Formula for sodium ethanoate

A

CH3COONa

38
Q

Formula for lead (II) nitrate

A

Pb(NO3)2

39
Q

Formula for potassium sulphate

A

K2SO4

40
Q

Formula for magnesium chloride

A

MgCl2

41
Q

Explain how to chose a suitable indicator for a titration

A

A SUITABLE INDIATOR CHANGES COLOUR SOMEWHERE ON THE VERTICAL SECTION OF A pH TITRATION CURVE

42
Q

Define half neutralisation point

A

‘The point at which enough base has been added to neutralise exactly half of the acid’

43
Q

What does the vertical section of a titration curve show?

A

This indicates what the average titre would be which can be used in a calculation. The midpoint of this vertical section is the equivalence point.
