addition of an H is the acid

large Ka <–> Small Kb

20
Q

the conjugates below are

Strong acid

Weak acid

Inert acid

A

inert base

weak base

strong base

(flip the list and change acid to base)

21
Q

Strong acids memorize

A

HCIO4

H2SO4

HNO3

H + cl or br or I on right side

22
Q

Strong bases memorize

A

Most left starting with Li to NA to K add (OH)

then on the left Ca to Sr to BA add (OH)2

23
Q

pKa and pKb can be found using what

A

-logKa

-logKb

24
Q

Ka or Kb can be calculated as

A

10⁻ᵖᴷᵇ

10⁻ᵖᴷᵃ

25
Q

pKa + pKb =

A

14

26
Q

pH =

A

-log[H3O+]

27
Q

percent disociation formula

A

([HA]dissociated / [HA] initial) x 100

28
Q

% dissociated depends on the _____ and increases with ___

A

Acid

Ka

29
Q

% dissociation also _______ with increasing ______

A

increases

dilution

30
Q

The more polar the H-A bond,

A

the stronger the acid

31
Q

on periodic table acid strength and electronegativity is determined how

A

2nd column of right is strongest acid

32
Q

larger atom leads to ______ bond which leads to ______ acid.

A

weaker

stronger

33
Q

as electronegativity increases ____ to ____ on periodic table, acidity ___

A

left

right

increases

34
Q

As bond strength decreases ____ the periodic table, acidity ______

A

down

increases

35
Q

If equal concentrations of reactants and products, and there is acid on both side, which would the reaction proceed?

A

to the side with the weaker acid as the strong acid is the better proton donator

36
Q

how to find pH or pOH as a single thing? If you have one of them?

A

-log (acid or base concentration)

14 - pOH or pH to get the other

37
Q

how to find [OH-] or [H+]?

A

10^⁻[ᵖᴼᴴ] ᵒʳ ⁻[ᵖᴴ]

38
Q

SALT SOLUTIONS from CONJUGATES of strong acids and strong bases are

A

neutral

39
Q

For double weak salts, how will the amount of acid compared to base affect acidity?

A

Ka > Kb = acidic (< 7 pH)

Ka < Kb = basic (>7 pH)

Ka ~ Kb (pH 7)

40
Q

Lewis acid is a species that

A

accepts electron pair

41
Q

Lewis Base is a species that

A

DONATES!! an electron pair

42
Q

in order for reaction constant > 1 (Kc > 1)…

A

reaction must shift to product. The two strong acid and base must be on the reactant side

43
Q

the smaller the kA the _____ the ___

A

LARGER

pKa

44
Q

less oxygen =

A

weaker acid

45
Q

kW value is

A

ionization constant of water 1x10^-14
