Acud And Bases Flashcards
Brønsted Lowry
What is an acid ?
Proton donor
Nh3 +H~>Nh4
What is a base¿
Proton acceptor
Water can be and acid or a base
HCl + H2O~>H3O* + Cl
Water accepted a proton
How do you calculate ph and definition
pH=-log([H*]
Equation for [H*]
[H*]= 10’pH
kW
Kw =ionic product
Cancels the constant
Equilibrium lies really far to left
1x10^’14 mol dm’2 dm’6
What standard condition does kw need to be under
298k at equilibrium
Equation for kw
Kw=[H]* x [OH~]
What if I wanted to fine [H]* and we given the kw
Square root the value of kw
Bufffers
Solution used to keep ph constant
Withstand small addition of [H]* and [OH]~
For acidic buffers
Mixture of weak acid + salt
Ethanoic acid + sodium ethanoate
CH3COOH _~ CH3COO + H*
CH3COONA ~> CH2COO~ + Na*
Equilibrium to left
Add acid [H]* react with the salt CH3COO’~> CH3COOH remains the ph constant
Add alkali. [OH ]’ react with H*
Equilibrium shifts to right to replace h* loss remains the ph constant
For basic buffers
Weak acid + salt
Ammonia + ammonium chloride
NH3 + H2O ~> NH4* + OH’
NH4Cl ~> NH4* +Cl’
Add acid [H]* react with OH’
Equilibrium shifts to right to replace oh’
Add alkali. [OH’] react with salt
Ammonium
ph constant
