Q

Weak acid/base

A

Dissolves partly during the chemical reaction.
Weak acid / base differ in their strength

Notice: strong/weak acid or base refer to reactivity not concentration.

Q

The strength of conjugated pairs

A

The stranger the acid, the weaker it’s conjugated base
The weaker the acid, the stronger it’s conjugated base

The stranger the base, the weaker it’s conjugated acid
The weaker the base, the stronger it’s conjugated acid

Q

The pH scale

A

Numerical scale used to measure the concentration of protons in a given solution, and can be used to define the solution as acidic, basic or neutral.

0-7 → acidic
7 = neutral
7-14 → basic

Q

How to calculate pH?

A

pH= - log[H]
[H]= 10^-pH

example: [H]=10^-7 →pH=7

Calculation based on proton concentration derived from the concentration of the acid is possible only for strong acid, that almost completely dissolve.

Q

What is the difference between acidity and pH values?

A

pH is dependent on temperature - the pH value of natural solution decreases with temp. Increase. While acidic solution will always be those in which the concentration of protons is higher than that of hydroxide ions.

Q

pOH scale

A

The value of pOH indicates the concentration of OH ions, which helps to determine whether a solution is basic or not.

pOH= -log[OH]
[OH]=10^-pOH

20
Q

What affects the pH values?

A

Strength of acid or base: strong acid or base, higher concentration of ions
Strong acid have lower pH than weak acid
Strong base have high pH than weak acid

the concentration of the solution:
more concentrated acidic solutions will have lower pH than more diluted ones.
more concentrated basic solutions will have higher pH than more diluted ones.

21
Q

Universal indicators

A

Red → 0

22
Q

Indicators

A

Chemical substances which are used to detect a change in the environment- used to defectacid-base reactions and distinguish between acidic and basic solutions.
They change their color based on the pH values.
Can be used as solution or absorbed by paper.

27
Q

Buffer solution

A

Reduce the change in the pH of a solution after adding an acid or a base to it- minimizing the acid or base impact (not infinite)

28
Q

Acidic buffers

A

Keep the pH of a solution under the value of 7.
Composed of a weak acid and its salt with a strong base

Adding base will cause naturalization reaction between the added base and the weak acid, keeping the pH value as it was

Adding acid will cause naturalization reaction between the added acid and the conjugated base, keeping the pH value as it was

29
Q

Basic buffer

A

Keep pH value above 7
Composed of a weak base and its salt with a strong acid (conjugated)

Adding base will cause naturalization reaction between the added base and the conjugated acid, keeping the pH value as it was

Adding acid will cause naturalization reaction between the added acid and the weak base, keeping the pH value as it was
