Gravimetric Factor Formula
(MW unknown/ MW given residue) • (mol unknown/ mol given residue)
Percent element in a sample for gravimetry
%X = (mass of residue × GF × 100%) / mass of sample
Aliquot is a portion of the sample. How to relate mass of aliquot to mass of sample?
Use ratio and proportion. Aliquot has the same properties as the sample.
If given total mass of two compounds in a mixture, how to attain their individual masses?
Set up two equations.
Eq 1: X+Y=total mass
Eq 2: set up reactions for X and Y to get the products
Gravimetry where mass of precipitate is the signal
Precipitation Gravimetry
Arrhenius Acid and Base
Acid - produces hydronium ion in aqueous solution
Base - produces hydroxide ion in aqueous solution
Bronsted-Lowry Acid and Base
Acid - proton donor
Base - proton acceptor
Lewis Acid and Base
Acid - electron pair acceptor
Base - electron pair donor
Product of neutralization reaction aside from water
Salt
When benzoic acid is dissolved in water, it partially ionizes forming benzoate and hydronium ion.
Name the parts of the reaction
Benzoic acid - Weak acid
Water - Base
Benzoate - Conjugate base
Hydronium Ion - Conjugate acid
Water at room temperature is more basic. True or False?
False, it is more acidic due to formation of carbonic acid
Differentiate strong acids and weak acids in terms of ionization
Strong acids - 100℅ ionization
Weak acids - partial ionization
Acids that yield more than 1 hydronium ion
Polyprotic Acids
For polyprotic compounds that yields two hydronium ions, K1 is _____ than K2?
smaller? larger? or equal?
smaller
Kn»_space;> … K2 > K1
A mixture of ammonia and potassium hydroxide is considered a ____ base.
Strong or Weak?
Strong Base
pOH = -log (concentration of solution)
pH computation for strong acids and bases
pH = -log [H+]
pOH = -log [OH-]
pH + pOH = 14
pH means…
potential of hydrogen
computation of pH for weak acids
Ka = x² / (Cao - x)
Cao = [(Va)(Ca) / Va+Vt]
a - analyte
t - titrant added
Kw at 25°C
1x10^-14 = [H+][OH-]
Kw at 50 °C
5.5x10^-14
Formula of Kw in terms of equilibrium constants
Kw = Ka•Kb
How to solve equivalence volume
Veq = [(Va)(Ca) / Ct]
At end point = Veq = V(titrant)
Formula for pka, pkb, and pkw
pka = -log (Ka)
pkb = -log (Kb)
pka + pkb = pKw
Combination of weak acid and base and their respective conjugates.
Buffer system
Explain buffer
Weak analyte + Strong titrant = Conjugate + water
Buffer is the mixture of the weak analyte and its conjugate
Equation used when dealing with buffer solutions
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
ph = pKa + log (conjugate base/ weak acid) (both at equilibrium)
