acids + bases Flashcards
Ka =
[H+] [A-] / [HA]
Kc =
[products] / [reactants]
Gibbs free energy (Δ G) =
= Δ H − T Δ S
pH =
-log[H+]
[H+] =
10 -pH
ionic product of water (KW) at 298K
1x10-14 mol2dm-6
why is [H+] larger at higher temps (for water)
because temp increase favours endothermic reaction, shifting equilibrium to right ∴ KW increases ∴ [H+] increases
how can you tell if something is a catalyst
it is expressed in the rate equation but not in the stoichiometric equation
assumptions made about weak acids (2)
1) [HA] at equ. ≈ [HA] initial
2) [A-] ≈ [H+] because [H+] from water is negligable
eq. ionic product of water (Kw)
[H+][OH-]
eq. pH of water
[H+] = √Kw
eq. pH of diluted strong acid
[H+] x (old vol / new vol) —> -log(ans)
effect of temperature on pH of water
temp increase = equilibrium shift to the right
[H+] and [OH-] INCREASE
Kw increase, pH decrease
effect of temp on neutrality of water
no effect, as [H+] = {OH-] still
eq. for calculating pH of a strong base
[H+] = Kw/ [OH-]
eq. Ka of weak acids in aqueous solution with nothing else added
Ka = [H+]² / [HA]
bronsted-lowrey acid
a proton donor
bronsted-lowrey base
a proton acceptor
monobasic acid
and eg.
an acid that releases 1 H+ ion per molecule
eg. = HCl
dibasic acid
and eg.
an acid which releases 2 H+ ions per molecules
eg. H2SO4
